Rather quiet in here on a rainy Sunday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Night Porter | 4.40 | | A dry, chocolaty Porter in good condition. |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Misty River | 4.20 | | The tasting notes say this is a naturally hazy, hoppy beer. My half pint is crystal clear and malty with few, if any, discernible hop flavours. |
| Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Uncomfortably full on a Saturday early evening to the point that all but one of my companions decided to walk on and find somewhere more manageable.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Night Porter | 4.40 | | Not the best Porter I’ve drunk recently, but this pint suffering from rather tired condition. |
| Brewster's - Hophead | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - King's Parade | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

11:30 Just two others in. Barmaid very knowledgeable on her beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Independence | 4.60 | | My first example of a continuously hopped ale. The hop flavour was stunning. |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Sweet Chariot IPA | 4.50 | | Just a taster. |
| Hellhound - Dirty Blond | 3.90 | | Just a taster |
| Exit 33 (formerly The Brew Company then Sky's Edge) - Blonde | 4.00 | | Bit home brewed |

A worthy new venture in the City Centre and part of the now depleted ‘King Street Run’. Busy in the early afternoon. 10% CAMRA discount claimed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buntingford - Summit | 4.00 | | Wow – Summit hops! Light, golden, crisp, a bit of sherbet. |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Festival | 4.90 | | A dark-coloured, fruity and spicy premium bitter. |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - Misty River | 4.20 | | A golden beer with fruity hops. A bit harsh, but served today in very flat condition. |
| Elgood's - Black Dog Mild | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Grain - Blackwood Stout | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Cambridge Brewing Company - King's Parade | 3.80 | Not Tried | Ran out. |
