16:00 Reasonably quiet until the Rugby contingent came in to watch the match on the television.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haresfoot - Totem American IPA | 4.50 | | A superb beer, the American hops give it an exceptional flavour. My only concern is that in these days of ever changing beer ranges and the novelty factor will I ever see it for sale again. |

The pub is found in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1 3LL.
In High Street, recently (early 2010s) renovated and re-opened after a period of closure. Knocked into one room, with an eclectic mix of furniture. Greene King tied but the landlady is able to stock micros.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 7 of them.
