The pub seems to be thriving under new ownership.Probably food oriented, but there's a good local trade.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hydes - 1863 Classic Bitter3.50GoodIs it a light mild, is it a bitter?I dunno, but I enjoyed it, and could well have made it a session.An initial pronounced hop effect, which rapidly was replaced by a mellow fruitiness. Mid brown . Yes, I suppose I could place it alongside Courage's PBA, drunk in this very pub too many years ago.
