This was meant to be just a quick visit, but it is such a wonderful place that we ended up staying well into the evening. A cider festival underway and very big crowds present (not just for the cider I think), merging outside into the even bigger crowds at the Tyne Bar just down the hill.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Durham - White Stout | 7.20 | | A strong, hoppy, pale Ale. |
| Five Towns - Raven King | 5.50 | | Full-bodied black stout with a tan head. |
| Rat - Monkey | 6.00 | | A fab, smooth, red ale matured in whiskey casks. Nearly got a five star review from me (for a red!). |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Portland Pale Ale | 4.90 | | On keg dispense. Too cold and too fizzy, obliterating all flavour. |
| Mordue - IPA | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Wylam - Sheer Chai | 3.60 | Not Tried |
