17 Sep 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Always a boring array of ales - the venue does not make imaginative use of the JDW quarterly guest list.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Served far too chilled. Only got any real taste when pint nearly over and after 20 minutes of defrosting |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Portobello - Buckingham Best | 4.00 | Not Tried |
