INXS in the background - I liked it. Big community pub with a good beer line up. Specialises in giving elderly gents a seat at the bar. Interesting collection of bottle beers on the wall including Watney's Brown Ale.

12:00 to 14:00 Annual beer festival visit. My first time here since the change of owners in 2015 and good to see that nothing has changed. Pub was very busy and, as per last year's visit, the over 60 year old man made up 95% of the clientele.

Excellent pub, free House? Busy early evening, nice basic menu locally sourced where possible. 11 beers on. Worth a visit, in a city blessed with numerous decent pubs. Some beers must be seasonal, not found on search function so have added!

11:00 - 17:00 Annual Valentine's beer festival. Eleven of us. A good time was had by all. The storm hit Norwich whilst we were there and the marquee threatened to take off.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| S&P - Darkest Hour Stout | 4.40 | | 5th beer. Good stout. |
| Axholme - Goze | 4.50 | | Last beer of the session. Not really ready but the Landlord gave into my request to sample it. Salty and sour, good copy of the German original. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Northern Light | 4.00 | | 4th beer. Thin light and dry |
| Elgood's - Black Eagle Imperial Stout | 8.70 | | Seventh beer. Good but a sip of my mates Tally-Ho made it seem rather tasteless. |
| Lacons - Jack Valentine | 4.20 | | Bitter and amber in colour. |
| Norfolk Brewhouse (uses Moongazer brand name too) - Dewhopper | 4.00 | | 2nd beer. Lager. Light, not enough condition to carry the lager taste. |
| Wold Top - Marmalade Porter | 5.00 | | 6th beer. Good but not much orange note. |
| Hambleton - Blind Date | 4.00 | | 3rd beer. Very dry. |

Annual Valentines Beer Festival in progress with around 30 beers stillaged in a marquee in the pub car park.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sarah Hughes - Dark Ruby | 6.00 | | On form here with a well rounded sweetish, fruity taste and a long vineous finish. My score 16/20. |
| Inveralmond - Duncan's IPA | 4.40 | | Pale in colour with a huge malty, grainy, cereally kick to start. Towards the finish, hops kick in to give another layer of flavour to this interesting beer. My score 16/20. |
| Panther - Golden Panther | 3.70 | | A pleasant quaffable golden ale from the revitalised former Reepham brewery. My score 15/20. |
| Phoenix - Massacre | 4.70 | | A fairly dry best bitter with hop bitterness dominating the taste. My score 14/20. |
| Leyden - Winter Warmer | 3.80 | | Not really strong enough for the style, this was just a standard bitter with moderate hoppiness and a dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20. |
