20 minutes to pour a pint with 2 inch head. £5.30 a pint. Toilet had no water. Wow.

| Hogs Back - Spirit in the Sty | 4.50 | | Lacked condition and a 20 min pull spoilt a mango beer that may be ok at some point. |

My final stop on a tour of Eastbourne, I am pleased to say that every one of the pubs appeared to be fully Covid compliant. Friendly and attentive staff here. I may not have listed all the beers available as I was not sitting in full view of the bar.

Needed sustenance after my 71 mile ride to Eastbourne- Music, TVs (on silent), pool, sausage dish billed as the “dogs bollocks” as the special of the month - friendly barmaid. Cosy feel - I liked it. Cosy feel - I liked it - at least while I ate.

Late afternoon and fairly busy with a mix of old folk in the main bar and a younger crowd around the pool table and Sky Sports screen.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity - Pure UBU | 4.50 | | Peaty, warm and sickly - I did not have the inclination to finish this |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Loud Shirt - Psychedelic IPA | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Holler (formerly Holler Boys) - Extra Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried | My first choice alas had gone.. |

First stop on our Eastbourne crawl. Tried several bars but the beers on offer were not what we were looking for.ie. Greene King and national beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | £3.55 a pint but Angie was most upset to pay £2.15 for a half. This outrageous price was not advertised. |
| Arundel - Stronghold | 4.70 | | Tired |

One of the few pubs that I found in Eastbourne that had some more unusual beers on sale. Good value as well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebird - Two Horses | 3.80 | | Citrus flavours |
| Franklins - North Shore IPA | 5.50 | | Nice flavours and 3.40 a pint |

Mid afternoon a few drinkers dotted about the pub. A couple of tv screens muted allowing for the softly playing blues style background music creating a relaxed atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | In good condition but lacking the usual bite. |
| East London (ELB) - Truman's Zephyr | 4.40 | | Full of flavour alas on the tired side but pleasant enough. |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried |
