11th visit of the outing: You would think with so many pubs already in St Albans, there would be no room for a Spoons. Here for the curry before the final pub of the visit. Busy for my early evening foray but prompt, friendly service. A suitable high chair and table close to the bar was conveniently found.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Stimulus | 4.00 | | Some head and lacing on this Berkhamsted-brewed pale ale but not lasting. A tropical fruited assortment in its first hit. Its American hops no doubt behind its barrage of grapefruits, lychees and blackcurrants coming for my taste buds. My curry duly did battle to contain the extremes of its fruitiness unfolding. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - Black Dragon Mild | 4.30 | | Sweet, fruity malt character, low hop rate and a full bodied flavour make this a classic stronger dark mild. My score 16/20 |
| Rebellion - Market Collapse | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Mid Saturday afternoon and there were some late lunchtime crowd in. I was totally blown away by the building to be honest and the beer was almost secondary.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCH - Double Header | 5.30 | | Copper colour with creamy cream head. Beer is fine. Decent juicy fruity malt. Decent hop on finish. Above average bitter. Good bitterness. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 3LE.
In terms of buildings, one of the most impressive Wetherspoon conversions I've been in. Main bar is a huge high half timbered space with a large fireplace at one end and long bar down one side. There is a middle family room with sofas and a fire and a rear piano bar with mini grand piano and comfy leather chairs.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 3 of them.
