Gravity cask at the Old Star, Shoreham. Dark gold and hazy with a small loose white head. Big dirty malt notes with some orange and grassy character. Sweet taste with a little bit of bitterness. More fruit here, including a touch of apricot. Light and slightly oily body. Flat. Not bad but not one of my favourite Iron Pier beers.

A small bar tucked away in Hove. I've not tried the other Bison bars so can't compare them. Even though there was a relatively small draught selection (six beers) I fell in love with this place. A lovely atmosphere, young but by no means exclusionary. The draft tends to focus on local breweries such as Only With Love, Beak and Abyss, but there is also a Vault City sour. If you've ticked them all, you can always check out the four bottle fridges to your left as you come in. A lovely old school feel to this place. Prices are a bit high but not the end of the world.

So this is where the good people of Shoreham spend their evenings. A large pub with a bar in the middle and a stage to the right as you come in. Otherwise this is back to back punters. The beer, we'll there's loads of it. 6 cask - Gun and Downlands are represwnted well - and 2 ciders along with a few keg and a bottle fridge full of this and that, mostly qell-loved Belgians from what I can tell. Certainly worth a look in and may be the best pub I Shoreham (which can't compete with Brighton & Hove but holds its own for its size). 10% music surcharge on weekend evenings. Bus stop to Brighton outside.
