25 Jan 2025 (Hogan Sampling)
Not the most exciting for real ale as only one on and so only my second visit to it but it made for a welcome pitstop from The Hatch having first taken the wrong footpath just outside Reigate. It is mostly full of craft beer. Fast service from the barman for my early evening visit and not so busy as on my first visit in November.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verdant - Penpol | 3.80 | | Good head and lacing on this Penryn pale ale, and where the brewery is north-west of Falmouth in Cornwall. It had a citrusy fruited first hit. It was followed by a dryish mouthfeel lingering. |
09 Nov 2024 (Hogan Sampling)
My 5th visit of the day's outing. Busy for mid-afternoon but a welcome bar stool to be had. A warm, friendly welcome and prompt service. Mostly full of younger age groups with toddlers but not too noisy despite this. Only the one cask on and alongside 7 keykeg beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dorking - Pilcrow Pale | 4.00 | | Very good head and lacing as fresh on when I arrived and from local brewery just up the road in Dorking. I was told to hang on for it to show up on the illuminated board which only took a few moments. A lightly hoppy mouthfeel with a pleasantly dry finish. |
