1945 and all is, unusually, very quiet here tonite. Only two in plus barman JC and landlord Dave, but, this is a much welcome footy free zone, an oasis of calm for some? And a few decent ales were on too.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dr Sunshine's Special Friendly English Wheat Ale | 4.20 | | Nice to see one of East Kent's finest up this way. |
| Fox (Leeds) - Mr Tod | 4.20 | | Another new ale for me. |
| Caledonian - Double Czech | 4.50 | | A very good imitation of a unique style. Third new ale tonite. |
| Rudgate - Silkbeard | 4.20 | | An IPA and pretty good too. |
