I won the dominoes team lottery card!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Titanic - Stout | 4.50 | | One of my favourites |
| By The Horns - Hopslinger Cascade and Chinook | 4.50 | | You'd think they'd think of new names for their beers rather differently hopped Hopslingers. |
| By The Horns - Bobby on the Wheat | 4.70 | | Looked awful, landlord insisted on changing it when he saw it had not settled. The half pint I managed to get through was good though. |
