Lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Single Hop Progress | 4.00 | | Very enjoyable, could be worth brewing this up in the Oz garage brewery. |
| Hogs Back - Snout Winter Stout | 3.80 | | Not bad, but I'm not sure 3.8% really cuts it as a "winter stout". Double that and it might get my attention. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
