Beer of the Week (w/e 11th August 2019)

That's scandalous, and the top bar was closed completely on my last visit - I presume the pub as changed management for this sort of chaos to now be happening.

I hope it's a case of a holiday relief manager not up to scratch,as I didn't notice any of the regular (and long standing) team anywhere inside.

However if there has been a permanent change of management and this sort of malarky continues,any closure of the top bar will see a sudden decamp elsewhere,unless there is something decent on at the lower bar.

I've been to the George early doors and the top bar didn't open until midday (I think).

Not a bad week, with a couple of interesting new beers I'd not come across before.


Little Critters - Little Hopper.
Oakham - Citra.*
Robinsons - Dizzy Blonde.
Titanic - Plum Porter.*
Saltaire - Waimea.
Wilde Child - Eastern Promises.*
Small World - Thunderbridge Stout.
Castle Rock - Session IPA 2.0 v1.7.
North Riding - Cascade.*
Tigertops - EM Band.*
Oakham - Black Hole.
Three Brothers - DDH Pale.
Kelham Island - Pint of View.

Really enjoyed the Eastern Promises and the EM Band. I've found some Tigertops beers a little disappointing, of late, but the EM Band had that lovely lingering bitterness that I associate with the brewery's better beers.
