Mid afternoon fairly quiet, not ventured into Derby centre for many years so unsure if I've been here before.

Annual beer festival here with extra beers stillaged in an outbuilding at the rear.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Navigation - Swallow Dive4.20GoodPale ale with a grainy malt character and fairly low hop rate. My score 15/20.
Rudgate - Midsummer Festivale3.90AcceptableGolden 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.

Sat in the snug and chatted about beer.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Lord Marples4.00ExcellentHow I remembered it from the Coach & Horses. A malty brown best bitter with lots of hop on finish. So drinkable.
