Early morning after midnight visit. Somehow I seemed to have gate-crashed the pub's staff Christmas party.

Early morning after midnight visit until close. Original temptation to attend was hint might have Titanic Plum Porter Grand Reserve on cask but was on the keg taps alas.

Early morning after midnight visit until close. Becoming a busy late night venue locally with its reliable 00:30 close every day.

Marble - Pint (was 3.9%)3.40ExcellentFirst day on pump and excellent condition. Just a pity it has been ABV dumbed down just for duty savings
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur5.90GoodOn a few days but not much loss of character

After midnight early morning visit until close. Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter had sold out alas.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Howling Hops (Brewed at Hackney Wick) - Single Hop Pale Series No. 4 Centennial4.80ExcellentThe only cask on - I do not normally try murk beers so a bit of a distress purchase but this was powerfully hopped and excellent

After midnight early morning visit until close. Quite raucous here still with some of the landlord's pals inside and standing outside under the awning away from the torrential rain. An Orval bottled nightcap provided final closure.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Villages - Bumps Golden Ale4.20GoodAcceptable still after a few days on
Anspach & Hobday - The Ordinary Bitter (was 3.7%)3.40Not TriedAs an aside had a taster, odd rubber like nose to it, suspect will be off sale soon

BeerABVScoreNotes
Villages - Bumps Golden Ale4.20AcceptableNew cask on - poured flat and stayed flat. No natural carbonation, nor extreme citrus. A beer that was a bit of a chore to drink. Suspect problem is Villages not a very good cask brewer
