|---|---|---|---|

| Swannay (formerly Highland) - Voe | 5.00 | | Very rich oat milk stout. A beer to sip and savour. |
| six°north - Breakthrough | 1.00 | | Strange one this. Pump clip said pale ale and indeed it could have been an EPA with a slight catch mid-mouth. ABV not noted. |

Early visit. Still some interesting cask beers but, looking at the taunting pole, don't expect this to continue.
Hawkshead Hoppy Wheat with home made pumpclip might well have been something different.
