18:00 Fairly quiet. Only two beers on as Steve has been very busy brewing. He has bought some Cara Red malt and will be brewing his first red ale.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Grain - Year of the Hop 2014 - Calypso | 4.40 | | Yet another new hop for me. Tropical fruit taste. |
| Shortts Farm - Strummer | 3.80 | | Good traditional bitter. |

17:00 Earlier than usual and the pub was rather quiet. The landlady's children came and sat with us. My wife now knows more about loom bands than she did before, and I was tested and found sadly lacking on my knowledge of the cast of Scooby-Doo.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank Top - Dark Mild | 4.00 | | I am not normally a mild drinker but I thought this was an excellent beer. |
| Blackhill - Botton Busty | 3.90 | | Fairly innocuous. |
| Northumberland - Mediev'ale | 4.00 | | Not to my taste |
