| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Bought 2 pints. Poured through a sparkler. The second pint was flat. After being left on the table for 30 mins. Not sure why they put sparklers on beers in such a busy pub. |

Interesting visit. My beer must have given me a hell of a kick as 20 mins after drinking up, on my way home I some how ended up in hospital. Not sure what happened but 11 hours later I was discharged. Nothing wrong with me apparently.

New Years eve into the New Year. Bottle of Dack was closed at 12am but this place had a disco and 10 beers on. None of the sorry not available in the sack. Giant head on my beer. Boss said that we are allowed to give a 5% HEAD.Not the sort of thing I want to hear from a camra poty 9 years in a row.£3.09 for a few beers here. Not expensive in the great scheme of things but a lot for a brummie spoons. Beer was excellent though.

Big crowd, excellent selection of beers but cold pub with heaps of snow falling outside. I believe this pub was not only named the local pub of the year but also the West Midlands POTY. A fine establishment.

| Backyard - Bad Santa | 6.80 | Not Tried | Desperate to try this, but as I was driving and the snow was deep, not advisable |
