No dark beers on as they were exploding in the back room. Read that some vandal broke several windows in York St including a window in the Boat. Scum.

Lunchtime - well patronised - some talk of the change of owner about to happen. Good snacks.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuzzy Duck - Fusion | 3.70 | | Superb light ale, well hopped. Unanimously favoured by our party of 5. |
| North Yorkshire - NYPA | 4.60 | | Good body and lingering bitterness. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Snow Top | 6.00 | | |
| Springhead - Resolution | 4.20 | | Rather a soapy aftertaste. Not popular with the group. |

Mid to late evening visit. The Guv's privately owned local brewery artefacts slowly being taken down, leaving the walls increasingly empty, prior to the pub changing hands after next weekend, being the end of an era.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Lord | 5.00 | | Came out with little carbonation or head |
| North Yorkshire - Valhalla | 5.50 | Not Tried | |

| Springhead - Resolution | 4.20 | Not Tried |
