A very busy Saturday afternoon. I bought a packet of Smarties for a friend as she had told me earlier that her local supermarket has run out of them.

Well I see that Chris E gets in here a bit so it must be worth a visit. Just after 2 - a few drinkers enjoying themselves. Friendly chat with the barmaid. It appears to be a good honest boozer but another with limited ale choice.

Thursday evening and some very welcome rain was starting to cool things down after a very hot day. A good crowd in here tonight, I had a good chat with one of the regulars about the GBBF.

Sharp's - Atlantic Pale Ale4.20GoodFirst one from a new cask, in very good condition and I enjoyed the first few mouth fulls but then certain flavours that I just do not like came to the fore.
