Late afternoon just a few others dotted about in the front and rear bars, we opted for the latter and enjoyed the calm relaxed atmosphere assisted by a nice cool breeze courtesy of the side door wedged open on a pleasantly warm day.

4th Beer and bangers festival. Outside marquee hosting the guest ales, with the usual ales in the bars, and varieties of sausages for just a quid. Chocolate choice upstairs as well in the skittles alley! Great evening, lots of folk inside and out

| Timothy Taylor - Boltmaker (formerly Best Bitter) | 4.00 | | Beer of the night. Full of hops, lovely brown colour and great aromas. Very nice pint indeed |
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | | |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | | Very hoppy, lovely lemony tang and a great drink |
| Burton Bridge - Golden Delicious | 3.80 | | |
| Derby - Something for the Weekend | 4.60 | | Nice golden colour and nicely hopped, no overriding features though |
| Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | | |
| Tower - Imperial | 5.00 | | I expected to like this but just not to my taste. Golden and hopped but a strange biscuity finish which I did not like |
| Batham - Mild Ale | 3.50 | | Insipid and tasteless |
| Leatherbritches - Lemongrass & Ginger | 3.80 | | No taste at all. Bizarre given the name |

As usual, full with a decent atmosphere.

| Burton Bridge - Golden Delicious | 3.80 | | Beers slightly off tonight- not up to normal standard. Quite soapy, maybe cleaned lines, Bridge bitter the same. |

Great atmosphere, around 8 o'clock, pleasantly busy and enjoyed hearing people asking about the beers, clearly their first visit to the pub. Warm, friendly and cozy
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Burton Bridge - Cool Hand Luke | 4.50 | | The January Gold Medal ale for the Bridge. Found out why I thought they taste similar - they are brewed to the same recipe, just with a different rotating hop. This one has Admiral & Challenger Hops and was pleasant, bitter, without being exceptional. |

Lovely atmosphere, nice fire going and delighted to see the VAT increase hadn't been passed on (still £2.35 a pint!!)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burton Bridge - Golden Delicious | 3.80 |  | Delightful pint, perfectly served and full of hoppy flavour and a dry bitter finished. Solid head and perfect temperature. |
| Burton Bridge - Damson Porter | 4.50 | | Lovely, full of fruit and dark, complex flavours flavours |
| Burton Bridge - Pull It Surprize | 4.50 | | Part of the monthly "Gold Medal Ale" rotation. I do find these generally quite generic and this one no different, no real taste to be honest and a bit of an amalgam of the rest of the Bridge offers |
