17:30 I was texted on Monday that Grain Summit had gone on. My first opportunity to get to the pub to try some. I had the last two pints. Steve the cellarman has now upped the beer offering to six on at any one time.

13:15 After a morning of domestic duties, although I did manage to get to a toy fair, it was nice go for a beer in my local. Sadly I just missed Arkwright's "Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel"

Humpty Dumpty - Black Mill IPA
5.00
Superb, 24 hours since being tapped. Tight head, rich colour, roasted flavour balanced with a good hop taste. I never ceased to be amazed that in an industry that can produce such a wonderful beer as this the most popular beers are still mass produced rubbish.
The pub is found in Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17 2AH.
Family owned town centre locals pub featuring an ever changing range of real ales. Real ale price discount for card carrying CAMRA members. Occasional beer festivals. An in-house brewery was installed with first brews in May 2014.
We have visited this pub 153 times, seen 447 different beers and tried 358 of them.
