Early on a Saturday afternoon. I had a good chat with Steve the guv.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Summer Haze | 4.30 |  | Not really my kind of beer but nothing wrong with the way it was kept or served. Hazy and far too much of a grapefruit flavour for me. I like grapefruit but I don't want my beer to taste like it. |
29 Aug 2020 (ChrisE)
Afternoon visit. Some good banter.
| Marble - Pint (was 3.9%) | 3.40 | | No head so a full pint. A good pint of Pint. |
25 Jul 2020 (Magnus Greel)
I liked the new layout with the bar moved to a more central location and replaced by two seating bays alongside the window made for a better experience. The beer was very good so we stayed for a few more than anticipated.
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 |  | Dry smoky yet slightly malty served at a perfect temperature. |

Saturday lunchtime, I met Magnus here for a fair number of pints. Steve informed us that cask sales have increased in popularity here.
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | In very good condition. |
18 Jul 2020 (ChrisE)
Early Saturday afternoon on a very hot day. I sat in the back bar because it was cool in there, I had a good conversation with a girl who normally works as cabin crew for a long haul airline but is currently working for test and trace so I hope I do not get a telephone call from her on her 0300 number.
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Cascade | 4.00 | | In condition but not to my taste and horribly hazy as the pump clip warned me it would be.

Early Saturday afternoon, this place has changed a lot since my last visit, the bar is now at right angles to what it was and a handpump has been installed. There are a couple of nice drinking booths by the window and I was allocated one of these when I entered. Each seating area is currently protected by a perspex screen from the adjacent one, table service is in operation and you settle your bill when you leave. Just two other customers at the time of my visit.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | | |
11 Mar 2020 (ChrisE)
Afternoon visit and fairly quiet. A beer delivery of key kegs and polykegs was made, I had never heard of polykegs before.
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Astryd | 3.80 |  | I am not really keen on these hazy ales. |
19 Feb 2020 (ChrisE)
No cask ale tonight so I settled for a half of Wild Beer Co. Millionaire from keg dispense. I had a good chat with Steve who informed me that this pub will closing from 20 March 2020 for five days for an internal refit.
05 Feb 2020 (ChrisE)
No cask available today as the one pin that they have was only delivered this morning. Another customer recommended some keg stuff that she was drinking but I thought it was horrible. I tried a keg stout which was much more to my taste.
17 Jan 2020 (ChrisE)
Friday afternoon and a new face behind the bar as Steve is on his honeymoon. A good discussion about Camra and craft beers.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Second one out from a new pin. |
