Mid to late evening we arrived just in time for 9pm last food orders which turned out to be a very good meal indeed. Friendly and welcoming combined with a superb beer range yet bizarrely this pub isn't in the GBG and the Hungerford Arms is?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotleigh - Snowy Winter Ale | 5.00 | | Dangerously drinkable faux session ale! |
| Fallen - Local Motive | 3.90 | | Superb mango peachy tropical punch |
| Electric Bear - Werrrd! | 4.20 | | A lighter style APA nevertheless didn't detract from the expected flavours |
| INNformal - INNocense | 3.50 | | Hoppy zesty citrus style |
| Very INNformal - INNhouse Best Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| White Horse - Stable | 4.30 | Not Tried |

2100 and busy. Good beer range and knowledgeable helpful bar staff. Great pub we liked the atmosphere here hence stayed for a few more.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - Cereal Killer | 3.00 | | Strong elderflower nose with a similar flavour, impressive for such a low ABV. |
| Vale - Best Vale IPA | 3.70 | | Dry hoppy session bitter very nice. |
| Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Niveous | 4.50 | | Fruity tropical apricot and peach wheaty broth, very happy for this as two of my five a day! |
| Milestone - English Rose | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Peakstones (formerly Peakstones Rock) - Churnet Valley IPA | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Very INNformal - INNhouse Best Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Aftenoon visit, a detour from the Railway Station on the way to the Downgate. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.

12:30 An outing to travel a particular piece of new track at Reading, Feeder Relief for those interested, meant catching a specific train from a station between Bedwyn and Reading. This pub read well so Hungerford it was. Sadly their own INNformal beer was in the cellar but had not been racked, however the choice offered was very good. The pub itself was very quiet, two wine drinkers at the bar and two groups of ladies dining.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two Cocks - 1643 Cavalier | 3.80 | | The other regular beer |
| Loose Cannon - Belgian Farmhouse | 4.50 | | I was expecting a Saison type beer but it was more of a standard bitter. Unusually the pumpclip had the date June 2015 on it. Something I haven't seen before. |
| Loddon - Hullabaloo | 4.20 | Not Tried | One of the regular beers |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Aylesbury (ABC) - Jester | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| 360° - Mayflower #56 | 5.60 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Hungerford, Berkshire, RG17 0EG.
Part of a two pub Pubco, the other being the Five Bells at Wickham. Renovated in 2012/13 the pub has three rooms decorated in gastro style. The bar is to the left, the right hand room has a mixture of seating styles and the third room has a single dining table with intriguing driftwood style chairs. The bar has six handpumps, two regular beers and four ever changing. This was formerly a brewpub but the kit has been moved to the sister pub.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 10 of them.
