A fine selection of ales here on a sunny Saturday evening. And on a hot day no-one was complaining.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA (superseded by 5.6% version) | 6.50 | | Doesn't get much better. First higher strength beer from Gadds for a while. Worth waiting for. £3.80 a pint. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Slight difference with normal taste. Still a good pint though. |
