More down to earth untrendy locals pub with a relaxed and cosy feel to it with the associated musty smell experienced in similar pubs.

Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's)4.70ExcellentAll the expected full bodied hoppy fruity spiciness fulfilled. Almost perfect had it been served not so cccold!!
Disruption IS Brewing (sub-brand of Ascot) - Shadow of Darkness - Biscoff5.00ExcellentA complex plummy fruits with a roasted coffee flavour combined with a bitter kick made for an enjoyable pint.

Arrived at around 9.30 and the places was rocking. Very cool band playing, very cool pub I liked it.

Dancing Man - Jack 'O' Diamonds4.50ExcellentAfter drinking this down the road I didn't fancy anything else.
Dancing Man - Pilgrim Pale Ale3.90GoodThis came out very hazy and I got the impression it wasn't supposed to be. Tasted good though and didn't repeat on me so I'll give it a pass.

Homeward bound after a day around the Solent. With the Boat Show underway nearby, it is pretty busy in here in the early evening.

Always good to visit this pub, which has the increased attraction of home-brewed beer since I was last here. All too short a stay, I would like to have remained longer to enjoy the beer and the live blues music.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Dancing Man - Big Casino IPA5.00ExcellentAmber-coloured. Big bitter and fruity hop flavours.
