12:40 Unbeknownst to me the pub was holding an eight day Oktober beer festival from the 28th so after discovering this I made three separate visits during a three hour visit to the town. 34 beers on the full list, 15 available on the first day. Five on the handpumps the other ten on gravity in the back room. Sadly the gravity beers that I sampled were all lacking condition. The customers trying the beers increased with each visit. All beers were £3.30 a pint, for a fiver you could get a pint and a hog roast roll.
