Clearly the place to come for beer lovers in Stratford upon Avon. The pub is part of the hotel and the whole affair felt somewhat on the edge of fading grandeur. I liked it and the lunchtime staff were friendly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor Castle (see also Sadler's entry) - Sadlers Mud City Stout | 6.60 | | Mellow rich tangy black beer with hint of smoke. Quite mild really. |
| North Cotswold - Bear Best Bitter | 3.60 | | Soft marigold and elderflower with a hint of toasted peanut - not dissimilar to Hornbeam's Voyager, just weaker. |
| North Cotswold - Windrush Ale | 3.60 | | Mid brown. Smells of raspberry. Soft in the mouth. Hint of toasted sugar, tangy edge. |
| Rugby - Ball Stitcher IPA | 5.00 | | No condition. Touch too warm too. Pale orange. Hint of orange and melon rind. Bit cloying |
| Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Wye Valley - Butty Bach | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
