Pint at The Rusty Gun pub in the garden alongside an awesome pork burger. It was lovely. And it's a pity the same couldn't be said for the beer. Cold and wet, but no flavour or mouthfeel.

Pint at The Rusty Gun pub, in the garden at the end of a blindingly hot day. The beer wasn't great, but I blame the beer. Odd flavour and regretted the pint. I am sure it would be much better.

Cask at the Rusty Gun. Great pour on what was clearly a well kept beer. Hops and malt very well balanced and a perfect pint to accompany my burger.
