Evening until close.
| Three Castles - Vale Ale | 4.30 | | |
| Loch Ness - Loch Ness | 4.40 | | Usual Scottish malt dominance |
| Titanic - Night to Movember | 4.30 | | Slight name change for men's health month. If my palate was in knowledgeable form I thought this tasted of a saison style but I could easily stand corrected |
15 Nov 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close. I was made to leave and return as I had arrived 1 minute before my expected time!
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Great head and a balanced contrast to the Gemstone harsh bitterness |
| Gemstone (brewed on Nelson plant) - Sapphire Blonde | 4.00 | | Astringent with too much sour bitterness for me |
| Brighton Bier - Thirty Three Pale Ale | 3.30 | Not Tried | Taster came across as fuller flavoured than 3.3% might imply |
08 Nov 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
