Just a few people in. Has a Goacher's beer mat on the wall but I've yet to see a Goacher's beer on.

| Batemans - Jester IPA | 3.50 |  | Orange coloured beer with the aftertaste of fags in an ashtray |

Fairly quiet on a Tuesday evening, just the 3 beers on. Juke box is pretty good. Good local pub especially if you live in the same street and you can pop across the road for a pint, like the guy I saw when I was unlocking my bike who braved the rain for the 3 seconds it took to run from his front door to the pub
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Badger (Hall & Woodhouse) - Best | 4.00 | | Reddish copper colour, hop and yeast nose, acidic yeasty flavour with malt and very floral hop finish. Can never decide if I like it or not. Well served though |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Fairly quiet early afternoon. Lots of beer mats on the wall to keep the beer enthusiast happy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelham Island (probably brewed by Thornbridge now) - Kelham Gold | 3.80 | | Very bitter pale yellow beer. Not much more depth to it than that. Perhaps a slight taste of sulphur. |
