12:45 Lunch visit. Haven't been here for about 10 years. Quite impressed by the changes. The bottled beer shop is an intriguing feature. The owners have recently purchased the Brandon brewery.

Brandon - Saxon Gold4.00Good
Brandon - Black I6.00GoodA new beer from the new brewer. It was the last pull from the cask but I had it rather than let the Landlady sling it. Good flavour. I am looking forward to trying a fresh one.
