Evening at 8pm. Door locked but faces inside, persistent rattling paid off and entry obtained and a small party of cognoscenti eating roast chestnuts, cheese and other festives was in situ. Thanks to Guv for letting me in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Give-away at 3 sovs a pint |
| Weltons - Xmas Maximus | 7.40 | | Credit to Weltons whom I often criticise for mediocrity, this was alarmingly woody and spicy and festive |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Cottage - Christmas Reserve | 5.50 | Not Tried | Taster proves Cottage can produce a decent beer, have I just said that? Oh for the days of its original Norman's Conquest in 1995 drunk in Chris Norman's garage |
