| Olde Swan - Dark Mild (aka Pardoe's Dark Swan) | 4.20 | | Another good Black Country mild. |

Christmas lights have just been turned on in Oswestry - pub fairly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monty's - Ding Dong | 4.40 | | Obviously a bitter, served to cold to get the full flavour. |

Just a quick pint or two!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - IPA Gold | 4.10 | | A musty aroma with an overwhelming taste of mushrooms and a fairly bitter finish! I didn't think it was too bad but I can understand others disapproving. |
| Monty's - MPA | 4.00 | | I know there are lots of nice citrus and malty flavours in this beer. In this pint the flavours were a bit muted, in my opinion the beer was served too cold. |

Quite busy at early doors.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monty's - MPA | 4.00 | | A very good pale ale with good hops and citrus balance. Medium dry leaving a delicate malty aftertaste. |
17 Sep 2012 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Relatively quiet at early doors.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | | An excellent example of this citrus bitter. |
| Stonehouse - Station Bitter | 3.90 | | Classy session beer, well presented and well kept. |
| Ludlow - Gold | 4.20 | | Pleasant ale with a good malty aftertaste. |
