Not too lively after the festival. Several festival ales still available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - XX Dark Mild | 3.00 | | £2.50 a pint |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 |  | £4 a pint. End of the cask. After Dave sold 4000 pints in the festival there was bound to be one that wasnt quite right for this lady. |
