| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Star - Helmsman | 4.20 | | Creamy rounded pale ale |
| Hop Back - Crop Circle | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Lancaster - Blonde | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

| Tetley - Old Black Bull Cask Ale (house beer) | 3.70 | Not Tried | House Ale. Clip says "Brewed for Tetley & Son Ltd. Northampton". What a sad end - it could be brewed anywhere by anyone and is just hiding its provenance |

Very busy indeed on Saturday evening – three deep at the bar, a more mature crowd in the comfy seats and ‘Blues Train’ bashing out a few old favourites on the stage.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - NZPA | 6.00 | | A full-on Pacific IPA. Nearly exceptional status, but we thought some might find the hopping too harsh. |
| Distant Hills (was Howard Town) - Sparrow's Nest | 3.60 | | Gold and hoppy, but very flat in the glass. |
| Pennine (Batley) - see now entry for Pennine (Bedale) after move - Sun Stone | 4.40 | | Oh dear, I didn’t like this one at all. Perhaps it was a duff pint? |
| Distant Hills (was Howard Town) - Wren's Nest | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
