Busy early evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Dragon - Golden Pippin | 3.90 | | Some hints of flavour but only hints. |
| Acorn - Blonde | 4.00 | | This beer was in good condition but, surprisingly for Acorn, was lacking in both body and flavour. Too easy drinking by half. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Daleside - Bitter | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Heineken - John Smith's Bitter (a.k.a. Cask and Original) | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Packed early evening. Some watching muted big screen sport but most in for the crack.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | Again far too cold. Floral, citrussy notes and good balance noted when it warmed up. |
| Rooster's - Hoppy Christmas | 4.00 | | Served far too cold but even when warmed up had little of interest. A golden ale with few hops and not much body. |
