Busy in here after work – I suppose it always will be. I decided to give free rein to my inner-German tonight. Unfortunately I have not kept details of other beers that were available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hellhound - Black Shuck | 3.90 | | An intensely dry, roasty, black Porter. |
| Mahr's Bräu - Weisse | 5.20 | | On keg dispense. Cloudy pale-gold in colour. Has all the German Wheat Beer qualities in spades. Bags of spicy yeast, bananary ester, slightly lemony. Yum Yum. |
| Licher - Klosterbrauerei Ettal Benediktiner Weissebier | 5.40 | | On keg dispense. No longer independent, Ettal’s beers are brewed at Bitburger-owned Licher. A hazy-amber colour. Tastes like a German wheat-beer, but not remarkably so. A middle-of-the-road, mainstream version I thought. |

A quick pint after work. The pub is barely less crowded than it was on opening night. Furniture has been rearranged and looks better with tables perpendicular to, rather than parallel to, the bar. I no longer have the details of other beers available on this day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Five Points Pale | 4.40 | | A great Pale Ale on stunningly good form here. |

This pub has been trailed for many months and finally opened at 5pm this-afternoon. I was here by 6, by which time it was already jam-packed. Destined, I feel, to be a very busy pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkstall - Black Band Porter | 5.50 | | A brilliant, strong, flavoursome Porter that also has a classy hop presence. |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Kirkstall - Dissolution IPA | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Five Points - Railway Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Gipsy Hill - Southpaw | 4.20 | Not Tried |
