For me, the best pub in the city. I sat at the bar chatting with 2 locals, one who went to college in Ashford, the other someone I had met on scoopgen Yahoo site. The barman did a cellar run for us for the Marble Ginger.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Ginger Marble | 4.50 | | Oh yes, one of the best ginger beers in Britain with real root ginger flavours. |
| Durham - Black Bishop | 5.50 | | Choccy tasty stout. Good grainy quality. |
| Woodlands - Redwood | 4.90 | | Malty fruity bitter with lovely character that made you look at the glass after every gulp. |
| Owl - Raptor in Blue | 4.70 | | It's a bitter, could have been in better condition. |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Red Rose - Red Sky | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Boggart - Ruby Tuesday | 3.80 | Not Tried |
