Annual beer festival here with extra beers stillaged in an outbuilding at the rear.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navigation - Swallow Dive | 4.20 | | Pale ale with a grainy malt character and fairly low hop rate. My score 15/20. |
| Rudgate - Midsummer Festivale | 3.90 | | Golden ale with a caramel and toffee character and little hop flavour that is bordering on diacetyl. Sweet and cloying finish. My score 14/20. |

I was walking past this pub at 10:30am and the doors opened, it seemed rude not to take advantage of this, and I entered. The place gradually filled up, I listened carefully as another customer asked directions to the Flowerpot as that pub is not in the current GBG and I did not have its address. I was surprised to see beer mats inviting me take an Enterprise tenancy as I had always assumed this to be a genuine free house.

Reasonably busy with diners on a Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Avalon Harvest Ale | 4.20 | | Golden in colour with a dry, bitter flavour but little hop character. Disappointing. My score 13/20. |

Sat in the snug and chatted about beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Lord Marples | 4.00 | | How I remembered it from the Coach & Horses. A malty brown best bitter with lots of hop on finish. So drinkable. |
