Busy for early Sunday evening, meals inside and a lot of people drinkking outside
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Flying Dutchman Wit Bier | 4.50 | | Hmm, thought this was unusual when I tried it, now I know as a wheat beer, thought slightly coppery in taste and colour but very nice; had a pint-and-half of it! |
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | | Utterly insipid |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Came here as brewery tap closed early, for a pint after work. A few in but three beers off (including bass, which I fancied) so that bored me
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Far too cold, fisapponting, other than that nice petty smell and above average taste |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Tiger | 4.20 | Not Tried | These beers seem to be coming around quickly, hope the list isn't this limited |
| Wolf - Coyote Bitter | 4.30 | Not Tried |

A bit packed and chaotic
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf - Coyote Bitter | 4.30 | | Oh dear, cloudy and rank, but could not be bothered to change it due to the heaving bar and woefully inadequate bar staff on Boxing Day. Rather burst my bubble as enjoyed this last time |

Busy Boxing Day lunch. Great varied menu with tempting specials and excellent service. Delighted at the beer selection on arrival after being promised just Pedi and Bass on the website!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Perfection. Huge sweet tropical fruit notes in exceptional condition. Could have quite happily drunk the entire barrel. Set up my Boxing Day beautifully! |
