Afternoon catch-up with my son and partner. Usual good selection of ales - as it was Sunday I went for the stronger end, very good session.

Early lunchtime- first one in but started to fill nicely around 1.
Interesting chat with the philosophy student barperson.

Mid afternoon- beer festival. Cold day so relatively small turnout - but growing as the evening approached. An excellent selection of ales at normal, low, New Inn prices - unlike the rather lacklustre event going on in the Dane John. At least a dozen other ales on.

| Oakham - White Dwarf | 4.30 | | So good to see this back from Oakham. Reminiscences of Dover’s New Mogul and their “kill the dwarf” sessions - where 9 gallons were quaffed in a couple of hours or so. |
| 360° - Session IPA | 4.30 | | |
| Beerblefish - Hoppy Pale No. 14 | 4.50 | |

Early evening - plenty of punters enjoying the sunshine in the garden. Good vibe as usual. 2 other beers on, not listed.

| Durham - Jarrylo | 4.70 | | Badged as a “Fusion IPA” - not sure what it was fused with but it was very good and a dark amber in colour. |

Busy early evening, following a campaign to save a nearby pub from decimation and development by a money grabbing developer

Lunchtime - I was double booked on drinking sessions today - bus pass group were supposed to be here on a “5th Thursday”. I cycled 20 miles in wintry conditions - they couldn’t be bothered to walk the half mile and went to the ‘spoons instead! Swift one then back on the bike. A few in, good sounds on the jukebox.
