A special afternoon visit to mark the 1,000th Thursday "Weekly Wind-up".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nethergate - Priory Mild | 3.50 | | Good mix of chocolate and roast malt and a hint of hoppines in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Elland - Grateful Deaf | 5.20 |  | Rather bitter and hoppy, and a hint of Sorachi detected in this although it's supposed to be an American Pale Ale. My score 13/20. |

Was some sort of seniors do on so place heaving so 2 quick pints reduced to one by the hoards waiting. Once they sort roads out both buses come together and i can spend evening there, but not risking needing a taxi.
