Two visits today, either side of Xmas meal over the road at the New Inn.
First at noon and second about 3 - it either wasn't very busy today or we missed the rush.
There’s was a single hop “Galaxy” at 4.1 ABV., but it was undrinkable. Pint refused and a new ale put on with good grace.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Hurricane | 4.50 | | Fresh on and very good. The Single Hop made way for this thankfully. |

Heaving Sunday lunchtime session. Loads of free nibbles on offer. Ales at £4, soft drink just £3 (£2.60 cheaper than over the road). Really like this micro, apart from the exclusively Wantsum ale menu. Strata One Hop IPA at 4.2 was in fine condition but rather lacking in body.

Lunchtime, about 1:30; as many in here as in the New Inn. Freebie roasties and sausages went down well., as did the price of a pin, £4. . Still majoring on Wantsum ales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Wantsum - One Hop Columbus | 4.00 | | Not impressed, a bit bland and little life. |

3 weak wantsum beers on this wet, windy miserable lunchtime. All £4.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | Caramel notes and quite fresh. |
| Wantsum - 1381 | 3.80 | | Quite ordinary with no distinct flavours. |

Early afternoon. Kev the Pickle holding court. Landlord and landlady in. We got some gratis roasties and sausage bits. Great ambience.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Beer Day Special | 5.00 | | A fine best bitter |
| Wantsum - One Hop | 4.50 | | One Hop Crystal at 4.2. Pleasant enough. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried | Is this becoming a Wantsum unofficial tie? |

Lunchtime. Busy. We got the window seat though - and some free nibbles. Nice. Shame they only had Wantsum ales on - I like the brewery, but I also like a choice.

Swift one in passing, late afternoon, only one other customer in.8I was recognised and warmly welcomed. Apparently Minster had a shotgun incident on Monday night. Thought it was a quiet little village.
