A busy afternoon with 60th birthday celebrations for one of the staff.

| RedWillow - Faithless I | 3.80 | | Amber bitter with most of its bitterness from crystal malt. Little hoppiness to speak of giving a rather cloying and unbalanced beer for my taste. My score 13/20. |
| Alehouse - Burnley's 10K | 4.50 | | Amber beer brewed at Verulam Brewery as a special under the Alehouse name. Quite bitter and hoppy with a dryish finish. My score 14/20. |
