Great
place,
marred
by
some
soured/off
beers
on
the
cask
pump.

Knowledgeable
and
pleasant
waitress
and
bartender/brewer.
Great
vibe
and
decor
inside,
though
it
doesn't
look
like
much
outside.
I
got
the
London
broil,
it
was
very
good.
Came
with
a
nice
salad.
Thought
it
was
a
great
price
for
$17.50
for
what
I
got!
This
was
my
2nd
visit.
The
cask
IPA
was
sour
and
not
good.
The
nitro
ESB
had
a
funny
flavor
to
me,
but
was
ok.
Might
have
been
I'm
not
used
to
ESB
on
nitro.
The
Airedale
Pale
Ale,
carbonated,
was
quite
good.
Similar
to
Bass
Ale,
and
actually
quite
a
good
copy.
Was
here
once
before
during
2020
covid,
all
the
beers
I
tried
were
off
and
sour
with
brettanomyces.
That
was
both
cask
ales
and
a
bitter.
Decided
to
give
a
pass
due
to
low
customer
demand
and
trying
to
keep
business
afloat.
Owner?/brewer
was
a
nice
guy.
After
reading
a
review
3
weeks
old
on
sour
casks,
and
visiting
twice,
I
feel
like
they
need
to
completely
sterilize
their
cask
system...handpumped
seems
infected
and
sour.
Seems
like
a
persistent
infection,
a
shame
after
all
the
work
this
guy
is
putting
in.
I
appreciate
his
effort
and
will
continue
to
visit,
but
will
have
to
enjoy
his
other
beers
instead
of
my
#1
target.
I
basically
visit
English
pubs
in
every
city
I
visit,
and
search
for
cask
ale
i.e.
hand-pumped
bitter,
pale,
or
IPA.
About
4
cities
a
week,
and
lived
in
Suffolk
UK
for
4
years.
