Our first port of call on our mini-crawl around Hitchin. This pub is right near the train station in a not so pleasant part of town. Still a jolly nice pub though. Seems to have a strong presence in the community. Sat at the bar and listened to a bunch of locals having an argument over what the ladies' darts team should be called.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Augustinian | 4.50 | | I was a little diappointed, the pump clip gives you the impression you're about to taste something special. A bit wishy washy, malty with a little fruit and toffee. It was nice enough but instantly forgettable. |
| Tring - Colley's Dog | 5.20 | Not Tried | My dad had this and it was excellent. |
| Tring - Brock Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
