Late afternoon. Pub is in shoppers' refuge mode.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shiny - Happy People | 4.20 | | As much as I've enjoyed my first two beers, it's great to follow them with one that's brimming with good hops. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Lost in Belgium | 4.60 | | It certainly has a Belgian yeast flavour. Spicy and dry. |
| Three Sods - Autumn Amber Ale | 4.90 | | A good, traditional Bitter. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

First time I've risked a Friday evening in here for a while. ChrisE may be pleased to hear that the Friday night DJ thing has been dropped.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gun - Chummy Bluster | 4.40 | | A dark, chocolatey Best Bitter. If only there were more brewers around able to pull it off as well as this. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Cortado | 4.90 | | I had been assured that the coffee flavours here were subtle, but, personally, I found it overpowering. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Astryd | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

I was in here one hour and 29 minutes after touch down at Stansted Airport, which I think is a new personal best.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Little Chief | 4.20 | | Littler than Big Chief and quite bitter. |
| Two by Two - Sabro Amarillo | 5.20 | | Great fruity/orangey hop flavours. |
| Redemption - Citrus Pale | 4.00 | | Citrussy, as one might expect. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit for a pint whilst waiting for a train home, the noise from a music system was so loud that I wished that I had waited on the platform instead. At least the beer was good. There was also a Cardomom and Berry Milk Stout on offer but I forgot to note the brewer and ABV.
