Visits Details
11 Aug 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Neither handpump in use but Guv agreed to put one on. Pulled through water then first pint out.
Abbeydale - Moonshine | 4.30 |  | Fresh and refreshing, slight haze but probably be peak tomorrow |
06 Aug 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Early evening visit after local chores. Lady co-owner's birthday. This has become a vipers' nest of hazy beers - looking around every keg drinker was on the hazy stuff.
Solvay Society - Spéciale (collaboration with Leigh on Sea) | 4.80 |  | French wording on pumpclip. Very hazy without point of sale warning but OK with some sort of alleged Belgian bitter taste. Rather cloying |
28 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit.
Iron Pier - Long Ferry | 3.90 |  | Impressed when half was pulled off and thrown away before my pint pulled. Alas pint had a slight haze I would not have expected but tasted OK |
23 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Early evening visit after local shopping chores. Seems to be concentrating on just one cask ale at moment despite two handpumps. Almost all customers seem entranced by the 20 keg taps. Gawd knows why.
Elusive - Level Up : American Red Level 27 : Citra & Galaxy | 5.00 |  | OK but more condition would have enhanced it |
21 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. All tables taken. So far here only once have I not had to ask for a top up.
Torrside - Yellow Peak | 4.20 |  | Needed to be slightly cooler, lost most condition almost immediately in the glass |
17 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Had to blag an after closing time pint having been told emphatically the previous week it would close at 10 it had closed at 9. The sooner properly advertised hours are displayed the better.
North Riding Brewery - Oat Pale (collaboration with Mill Hill) | 4.00 |  | Thoroughly enjoyable on a balmy night |
15 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Sat and contemplated this new venue and realised that, as so often happens, no consideration has been given to soft furnishings and sound baffling to soften the noise. Needs some retrofitting in what is otherwise a large box of hard surfaces.
Abbeydale - Moonshine | 4.30 |  | Slight haze |
Burning Sky - Day by Day (collaboration with Elusive) | 5.40 |  | Very full bodied |
14 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Immediate conversation with a couple about beer scoring and how Good Beer Guide pubs are selected.
Burning Sky - Day by Day (collaboration with Elusive) | 5.40 |  | Rather cloying ESB but good temperature and condition |
Abbeydale - Moonshine | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
09 Jul 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit as found it open by chance as passing by to shop. Obvious work in progress on its second day of soft opening but thriving with lone drinkers and families nevertheless all trying it out. I was disappointed to find no cask ales on the handpumps yet but felt obliged, as you do, to try a beer. Had a Pressure Drop 6.5% keg job but without pre-warning served as a murk and misread the pricing tile so paid £7.50 a pint not the expected £5. I shall await the arrival of cask and hopefully its more reasonable prices before my next visit. Usual problem of keg beer being served chilled and gassy so belching to the bus stop upon departure.
