Last knockings visit until a premature kick out with a klaxon and fire evacuation of the building after two sips - with beer finished on the pavement on the opposite side of George Street. Added to the very limited ale range, due to line cleaning, a sour end to the drinking day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Tasted very fresh, £1.71pp for thin gruel ruined by being ripped through a pouring restrictor too |
