16:50 A pub I have passed by many times but never had the opportunity to go in. A gem. An interesting conversation with the Landlord about his beers led to a cellar visit. I was actually spoilt for choice with the beers on offer not a regular occurrence for me. Having noted the previous CAMRA award I hope that the pub goes higher in future years. It certainly deserves to.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Darwin's Origin | 4.30 | | Cascade, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, and Saaz hops. A bitter start with an unusual aftertaste. I would describe it as a sweaty note. Sounds bad but it wasn't. |
| Lacons - Talon | 4.30 | | A new Lacons beer for me. Up to their usual standard. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's London Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Lacons - Encore | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Butcombe - Rare Breed (or Adam Henson's Rare Breed) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Black IPA | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Cottage - Imperial Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | Cottage clips now just say CB as the brewery name. |
