Crowded, with a mixture of beer pilgrims and those gathered here for the live music. One or two already heading towards “casualty” status at 7pm.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Heck - Golden Bull | 3.80 | | Pale and very well-hopped. Sharp. |
| Great Heck - Brave New World | 4.00 | | A very pale beer with a heavy, US, citrus hop flavour. But not much else. |
| Bob's (brand produced at Partners) - White Lion | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Milton - Marcus Aurelius | 7.50 | Not Tried | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exit 33 (formerly The Brew Company then Sky's Edge) - Bock | 5.00 | | Strong amber bitter with a good bitter hop character. Full bodied with some malt and fruit evident. My score 15/20. |
