Afternoon catch-up with my son and partner. Usual good selection of ales - as it was Sunday I went for the stronger end, very good session.

Early lunchtime- first one in but started to fill nicely around 1. Interesting chat with the philosophy student barperson.

Mid afternoon- beer festival. Cold day so relatively small turnout - but growing as the evening approached. An excellent selection of ales at normal, low, New Inn prices - unlike the rather lacklustre event going on in the Dane John. At least a dozen other ales on.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Oakham - White Dwarf4.30ExcellentSo good to see this back from Oakham. Reminiscences of Dover’s New Mogul and their “kill the dwarf” sessions - where 9 gallons were quaffed in a couple of hours or so.
360° - Session IPA4.30Good
Beerblefish - Hoppy Pale No. 144.50Good

Early evening - plenty of punters enjoying the sunshine in the garden. Good vibe as usual. 2 other beers on, not listed.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Durham - Jarrylo4.70ExcellentBadged as a “Fusion IPA” - not sure what it was fused with but it was very good and a dark amber in colour.

Busy early evening, following a campaign to save a nearby pub from decimation and development by a money grabbing developer
