Evening until midnight close. Tried a couple of ciders from the JDW festival too. This is one of the best 'Spoon's for beer care.

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Bruin's (was Bruins Ruin) | 5.00 | | Fresh pint was excellent with lingering bitterness |
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Bruin's (was Bruins Ruin) | 5.00 |  | I was suspicious of the quick fill and shuffling. I had a wander and could see several Icebergs sitting below counter too. I challenged if this was a top up of some stale beer below deck and this was acknowledged. Replaced |
