12:15 Half a dozen in. Good atmosphere and good conversation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Runner | 4.00 | | |

17:30 Supermarket then the pub, as usual. Pub was fairly busy. My friend Tony told me the sad news that Wolf Witham, founder of Wolf Brewery, had passed away suddenly at the start of the month.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northumberland - Touchdown | 4.00 | | |
| Northumberland - Northumbrian Ale | 4.50 | | |
| Grain - Year of the Hop 2015 - Epic | 4.40 | | New hop to me. Not very inspiring. |
| Cottage - Texas Brown Ale | 4.70 | Not Tried |

18:00 After a day in the garden pruning fruit trees beer beckoned. As a bonus I was given a bottle of Steve's latest brew. English Pale Ale 4%.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Jack - Trawlerboys | 4.60 | | Up to its usual standard. Amongst my favourite beers. |
| Teignworthy - New Year Resolution | 5.00 | | Flavoursome, drank its strength. |
| Northumberland - East Coast Pale | 4.00 | | Not to my taste at all. Light coloured but too malty. |
| Burton Bridge - Leapling Lad | 4.50 | Not Tried | Evidently a nickname for a man born on the 29th of February. |
03 Feb 2015 (HSB)
16:00 Early visit to avoid tonight's White Hell assuming the weather forecast is correct. Steve the brewer told us about his new beer EPA. Still in the cellar, I am promised an email to let me know when it is on sale.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Worsthorne - Chestnut Mare (now superseded by 4% version) | 3.50 | | Started a bit sweet but got better as I worked down the pint. |
| Taylor's Attleborough - Stitched Up | 4.70 | | |
| Taylor's Attleborough - Remember Me | 4.40 | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elmtree - Burston's Cuckoo | 3.80 | | |
| St Austell - Cornish Best (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | New to me. Reads well on the St Austell website but in reality bland and boring. |
06 Jan 2015 (HSB)
17:00 Steady trade. Checked out some info for my quarterly report in my role as CAMRA BLO for the pub's brewery.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northumberland - Jingle Balls | 4.20 | | |
| Grey Trees - Christmas Truce | 4.60 | | |
| Iceni - Boadicea Strong Ale | 5.90 | | Certainly tasted its strength. |
| Neath - Porter | 4.80 | | Bit too fruity for a porter. |

09 Dec 2014 (HSB)
18:00 Very quiet. Steve was short of beer as the crowds for the Christmas Carnival on Sunday had given the stock a bit of a bashing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taylor's Attleborough - Remember Me | 4.40 | | Longer in cask before tapping. A mellower flavour. |
| Great Heck - Black Jesus | 6.50 | | |
| Teignworthy - Maltster's Ale | 5.00 | | A bit lacklustre. Overshadowed by the previous pint. |
