13:45 Lunch stop. Beer festival this coming weekend so the beer choice was rather different.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fox - Patriot4.80Good
Adnams - Tally-Ho7.00AcceptableThe pub normally keeps a cask for a year but decided to tap it in conjunction with the beer festival. We had a half between us. It was sour and reminiscent of a Belgian beer. It had probably been in the pipe sometime.

Lunch stop on a tour of North Norfolk by bus. Reasonably busy. I can recommend the seafood platter.

Thursday night is spice night. We went along to give it a try - not bad. A few people in the bar with 8 real ales on but no one drinking them! Restaurant was closed for a "private function".
BeerABVScoreNotes
Crouch Vale - Amarillo5.00Excellent
Fox - Grizzly Beer4.80GoodA golden beer but seemed to be lacking body for a beer of this strength.
Fox - Hoppy Daze4.80GoodAnother golden beer. Again seemed to be lacking in body and not very hoppy.

Early evening with a few locals around the bar and one or two tourists coming in. Tuesday is music night.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fox - Kanook4.30GoodA golden ale.
Fox - Hop across the Pond4.20GoodA bitter coloured beer with some distinct hop flavour.
Fox - Grateful Deaf American IPA5.50AcceptableBrewed by an American brewer from Oregon who came over for the GBBF and brewed this beer during his visit. It's name comes from the fact that he was deaf. Tasted like it had seen better days.
Fox - Kelham Fox4.30UndrinkableMy wife had a pint which was like vinegar. The barman replaced it and took the beer off.
