I gave this pub 9 when I wrote my review below in 2016. On my latest visit there were seven beers available; I went for two that were sitting next to each other (see photo): Hawkshead Five Hop 5% and Logan Beck Proper 4%, brewed just over two miles from the pub. Contrasting styles but both in astonishingly good condition. I sat at the table with mouth agape, in awe of the quality of these beers. I think one of the criteria for NBSS 5 is that you change your plans and stay in the pub to have another. I seriously couldn't do that, but I did give some thought to how it might have been possible, including getting a hotel room, sleeping in the car, sleeping in the gutter... I know that quarter marks have been outlawed by the Camra AGM, so I can't give 4.75 each. I make it 4.5 for the Logan Beck and 5 for the Hawkshead, but I could be wrong. As for the pub, it has to be 10, doesn't it.
