Dragged Richard in here as he had not been before. Spent an entertaining half an hour chatting with the landlord and landlady and a local at the bar about beer and pubs.

| Dark Star - Oktoberfest | 5.20 |  | What a beer. Everytime I drank it, I just stared at it in frank admiration. The hops in particular are fantastic and marry the German malts really well. |
| Ramsbury - Gold | 4.50 | | Came back for this. Fine. Decent slightly white stone fruit fruity golden ale. |
