Mid afternoon and rammed with many folk standing despite a table available under the staircase to the upper level which suited our group of now 4 of us.

|---|---|---|---|
| Verdant - Sail We Must | 5.50 | | A dry Irish stout with a satisfyingly creamy coffee and chocolate balance. |
| Three Kings - Shield Maiden | 3.90 | | Light golden ale from pilsner malts. Hopped with USA Centennial & Chinook Hops with a floral spicy citrus and pine nose. |

First visit to the National poty 22. Amazing place in middle of castle. I could see why this place has won the big prize the moment we walked through the door. 8 ales on handpump, at least one from their own brewery. Camra discount offered. £6.30 for 3 halves. Cant have any more as im driving.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Superb |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | |
| Tamworth - Staffs Pale | 4.30 | | Quality home brewed beer. |
