Busy as expected for a late Friday afternoon with a wide range of customers from babies to the elderly. I've only listed the 2 guest beers available today.
Reedley Hallows - Beer O'Clock | 3.80 | | Sweetness of banana with a hoppy yet yeasty bready hint thankfully lacking the overbearing maltiness from my previous experience. |
Sambrook's - Junction | 4.50 | | Dark fruits with a subtle spice. |

Quiet Thursday afternoon
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | Excellent condition |
10 Jan 2023 (Magnus Greel)
25 minutes to kill before my bus home so TOFTT...
Reedley Hallows - Beer O'Clock | 3.80 | | Nothing wrong with it but found this way too malty for my liking and was a chore to finish. |

Four of us including Mr & Mrs Dosser ventured up here for refreshments, very busy but we found a table in the corner by the window and enjoyed our beers.
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Malty fruity with a hint of treacle, best of the bunch tonight. |
Conwy (Bragdy Conwy) - Hoppy Christmas | 4.30 | | Bland watery acetic fare past its best if there was one. |
Theakston - Old Peculier | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
19 Dec 2022 (Dosser)
3 guests on and a packed pub.
Theakston - Old Peculier | 5.60 | | A bit too cold fora higher score |

Mid evening not too busy just a few groups dotted about. One could've wrongly assumed tonight was an Old Dairy brewery takeover event as most of the handpumps were either Red Top or Copper Top with just the three usual suspects otherwise available.
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Malty with hints of blackcurrant and treacle near on perfect condition and temperature. |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Always good to see JDW still supporting this scarce ale. |
Greene King - Ruddles Best | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening with 30 minutes to wait for my bus home so just in time for a relaxed pint..
Wantsum - Dynamo | 4.30 | | Just about managed to chew my way through this sickly sweet murky pond water.. |
12 May 2022 (Magnus Greel)
Met a friend here early evening for a pub crawl of Ashford's finest.. Busy but late enough to have missed the pushchair brigade!
Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | |
Lancaster - Black | 4.50 | | More of a watery porter than a chewy stout |
Greene King - Ruddles County | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | A regular here |

Met a few friends here late afternoon, we opted to sit in the quieter more adult friendly front of the pub as the back half had been turned into a creche.
Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | | |
Saltaire - New World Red | 5.20 | | This malty offering had just come on. |
Sambrook's - Junction | 4.50 | | Risked a pint of this surprisingly had flavour but became ever cloying towards the end. |
