02 Oct 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Every seat taken, but a corner seat found for me until curfew close.
| Elland - White Prussian | 3.90 |  | Just the one word, perfect. But for curfew close I might have drowned in the stuff |

| Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
26 Sep 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until curfew close. Had been more crowded earlier. Good banter, as expected, to raise the spirits.
| Hop Fuzz - English | 4.00 | | Just a mid brown English bitter and a new cask, nowt not to like |
| Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - McCanns Hockley Soul | 4.20 | | Good one to finish on |
| Hop Fuzz - Hop Buzz Hythe Green Hop Beer | 4.00 |  | Good but not my favourite of the three on here tonight |
18 Aug 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Afternoon into early evening visit, first for nearly 5 months. Little has changed except frontage and front fascia sign painted up in new colour schemes and a bit inside too. All sitting well apart inside. Sad news to hear co-Guv Steve is not very well at present.
| Stockport - Stockport Pale | 3.90 | | I was dubious from the description but was well balanced and not an in your face lemon juice |
| Musket - Flintlock Best Bitter | 4.20 | | Good enough to have a second |
| New River - Blind Poet | 4.50 | | Very popular today, a smoked porter |
20 Mar 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Valedictory late visit but a return one soon hoped for. Only Dame Vera was missing from the "We'll meet again" refrains.
| North Yorkshire - Yorkshire Porter | 4.40 | | Very chocolatey and kept its head and lacing throughout |
| Kent - ALTernative Amber | 4.50 | | First, third and last beer in a pub for a while |
18 Mar 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 9pm close. Raises the spirits somewhat to hear a lorra lorra larfter as Cilla would have said.
| Kent - ALTernative Amber | 4.50 | | Spot on American Amber style if there is one as such |
| Spitting Feathers - Mustn't Grumble | 4.00 | | Well brewed strong dark mild |
| Kent - KGB or Kent Golding Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
14 Mar 2020 (Philip Pirrip)

| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Last half squeezed out of the cask and still superb |
| Slater's - Nelson Sauvignon | 4.30 | | New cask and a delightfully balanced ale |
| McCanns (used to use Angels and Demons name as well) - The Troubadour | 4.50 | | So full bodied the glass even seemed heavier! |

| Mighty Oak - The Old Man and The Sea | 4.10 | | Surprisingly good MO beer |
| Dorking - Pacific Gold | 3.80 | | Agreed with pub Guv this was still a tad fresh (slight metallic taste), with better to come over the coming days |
