Late afternoon,I'd come in search of Green Hop beer, but alas one was on the stillage, but not on sale.Many tables pre-booked, so I sat in the little back yard and enjoyed my beer.
Iron Pier - Long Ferry | 3.90 |  | Described as a Golden Ale,but it was better than that.Chewy malt and mouthwatering spicy hops. |

Lunchtime on an oppresively hot and sticky Saturday.Quiet.
Gun - Project Babylon Pale Ale | 4.60 |  | Bronze APA:stone fruit. The heat detracted from this,though to be fair, the finest Fremlins/Goachers collaboration devised by members of this site would struggle today. |

Brewsmith - Brewsmith IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
