| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surrey Hills - Ranmore Ale | 3.80 | | Could not fault this very sour hopped tasting bitter ale |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Pale | 4.40 | | Probably best ale on here tonight |
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Real disappointment. No head or lacing, quite flat. Even multiple vigorous decantings to and fro with two pint glasses brought minimal life to the ale |
| Titsey - Vanguard | 3.40 | | Lacklustre, I don't think I was judging its 3.4%. Chore to finish |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Southwark - Mayflower Session IPA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

| Five Points - Railway Porter | 4.80 | | Very good but have had better over time |
| New Bristol - French Toast | 4.40 | | Unusual |
| Five Points - Pale | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tonbridge - Easy Street Pale | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Brew York - Clever Gyle | 4.90 | Not Tried | I wondered what justified its premium price at the pump |
