Early Monday evening. I chose this as a couple of more promising pubs in Dorchester are closed on a Tuesday. Thought I was the only one in the pub and then found the large garden. Then I knew I was the only one in. Very tired looking garden. Rather a depressing visit.

I met up with Jane and Isabel who had just been to the nearby Teddy Bear museum. They needed a drink and this place looked civilised. It was. We were the only people in. There were two ciders on too.

Late-afternoon visit, the last time I was here it was the Goldfinch Brewery tap.

Dorset Brewing Company - Tom Brown's Bitter4.00GoodOne of the old Goldfinch brands taken over by DBC. Deep amber in colour. A bitter that is fruity but also dry.

Dorset Brewing Company - Portland Porter4.70ExcellentThe pump clip said vanilla and boubon but I didn't get any of these flavours coming through. Dark in colour and very flavoursome. Best beer of the day.
