A trip around Stockton on Friday. Totally standard:
A good pint in Wetherspoons but atmosphere ruined by kids/kidults playing on phones.
A pint of Bass - unbanked - in the excellent Sun Inn.
An average pint in a GBG regular where I never seem to get quality.
Back home for some Vocation in the garden.
Bass it is!

Barely a cigarette paper between the White Rat and the Black Rebel (American dry hopped stout), both in fantastic nick. However, the former just takes it. An NBSS score of 4 and two thirds of the first pint drunk between the bar and the picnic table outside! Taken at the Hunters Inn.
