Lunchtime, hard pressed to choose my beers today. I think this pub is currently sourcing beers from some cracking (local-ish) breweries.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By The Horns - Stiff Upper Lip (downgraded from 3.8% in 2023) | 3.40 | | |
| Westerham - Single Hop Bramling Cross | 4.00 | | Good condition; don't think Bramling Cross as a hop is one of my favourites, but I keep perservering, even on my home brew kit. |
| Burton Bridge - Battle Brew | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Explorer | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Portobello - Market Porter | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Lunchtime, Leeds Vienna Mild available soon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Sennen | 3.80 | | Easy drinking and refreshing. |
| Hilden - Number Four | 4.40 | | No resemblance to the beer I had at Maidstone's Society Rooms two weeks previously. The lovely hoppy flavor and aroma had all but disappeared. Too long in the cellar? Mislabelled beer? Either way very disappointing. |
| Dark Star - Festival | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Red Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | Despite still being four gallons in the cask, this was not pouring properly so no chance to try it. |
