Walked up as usual and found ourselves nearly at the front of the queue. Nice venue.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Settle - Main Line | 3.80 | | Complex brown bitter |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | | |
| Westerham - Summer Perle | 3.80 | | Bit thin but great hops |
| Brumaison - BB | 3.60 | | Brown malty nutty sweet bitter |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - DDH (Double Dry Hop) | 4.00 | | Pale straw colour. Big aroma of cut grass and grape skins. Sharp lychee bitter finish. |
| Iron Pier - Wildway IPA | 4.50 | | A wheat beer that didn't taste like it. |
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | Cloudy and lacking condition |

Evening, opening session. Marquees in the Rugby Club for the second year. Not too crowded. Lots of familiar faces. Unfortunately I didn’t find a beer with a “wow” factor. Just listed those I tried.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backyard - Nelson Sauvin IPA | 5.00 | | My favourite of the night, albeit it could have been a couple of degrees cooler. |
| Peerless - Knee-Buckler IPA | 5.20 | | |
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Bluebeary | 4.00 | | Yes - definite blueberry notes, but not overpowering. |
| Brumaison - 1770 London Porter | 4.70 | | Well balanced porter - not too heavy. |
| Reedley Hallows - Beer O'Clock | 3.80 | | |
| Brumaison - Beulter | 4.60 | | Recommended by Keith Lane - likely to be on at The Lanes in the future. |
| Brew Buddies - Juicy IPA | 5.00 | | Just a bit heavy on the bitterness I thought. |
| Stonehenge - Eye-Opener | 4.50 | | Didn’t live up to the description. |
| Larkins - Pale | 4.20 | | My first beer on a fresh palate - I was not impressed. Warm and a bit tart. |
