Mid afternoon and busy I sat at one of the perch window seats and enjoyed the wild west American atmosphere.

My first visit to this pub and I like it. This was a lunch time/early afternoon visit and was fairly quiet with a few social ale drinkers sampling the beers on offer.

Bustling of a late afternoon on Friday. I only noted two beers that were different to those available a few days ago.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Goacher's - Silver Star4.20ExcellentFuggles-hopped beers can often be too soft and malty. This is fresh and crisp and lovely.
