14:00 Steady trade. We added to the Landlord's knowledge by telling him why there was a Number 4 on one of the door frames. It had puzzled him for some time.

Evening visit just as a folk quartet started playing Irish, Russian Gipsy and Scottish with variously accordion, penny whistle, hand drums, flute and guitar.

13:00 Fairly busy. Very pubby feel as only food is doorstep sandwiches so not heaving with diners like most other central York pubs. Sandwiches were excellent by the way.

Busy with the racing on TV.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Revolutions - Devolution4.50AcceptableAs seems to be the norm with this brewery, a rather smokey flavour with some hoppiness and a rather thin character. My score 14/20.
