05 Jul 2025 (Hogan Sampling)
My fifth visit of the outing: Originally not on my list to visit but I was passing it on the way to The Good Intent so I popped in to see what real ales if any were on. Two were on and one locally-sourced and as not tried before, this persuaded me to try one of the two. Busy for my early evening visit but prompt friendly service from the barman.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flowerpots - Bitter | 3.80 | | Badged as Pots Bitter by Flower Pots Brewery, based in Cheriton, Hampshire, it came with very good head and lacing and lasted well. A dry bitter first hit on this bitter from north-west of Petersfield and heading towards Winchester. A mildly malted caramel-infused sweetness in its bitterness rising up and a hoppiness pervading its aftertaste aided by its Challenger, Goldings and Northdown hops. It was named after the Flower Pots' farm where beer was first brewed in the 1830s. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |
