A late-lunchtime visit (although not for lunch) and a seat in the sun on the top deck.

12:00 Got a taxi from Temple Meads to start our crawl here. First ones in. Sat on the upper deck in the sun. Sadly none of their own beers were on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Cotswold Spring - Stunner | 4.00 | | Barmaid had a bit of trouble pulling five pints. I wondered if the hard spile had been taken out. Overly frothy and a bit cloudy. |

Great to be drinking a really good pint in lovely surroundings after five days on (generally) poor beer in Switzerland.

The pub is found in Bristol, Avon, BS8 4RU.
A pub in a boat moored in Bristol’s Floating Harbour, with good views of the SS Great Britain. As you might guess, this was once a grain barge, built in 1936 and converted to pub use in 2007. There are three decks, only the upper two of which are usually in use. On a sunny day, the open top deck is the place to be.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 4 of them.
