Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Scapa Special | 4.20 | | I enjoyed this a lot. Well balanced and so not the oft encountered malt dominated Scottish ales |
| Brew York - Calmer Chameleon (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | | Good but my fault in choosing and being lumbered with what was simply lemon juice with a fancy name |
| Vale of Glamorgan (VOG) - Dark Matter | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
