Tiny store with three stools and tiny tasting bar. Small but well curated selection. Worth a stop when in the St Pancreas area.

440 ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of powdery chocolate, dry roasted malts and dark creamy berries. Flavors of roasted malts, creamy coffee and earthy plums. The plums are pretty subtle but really make the beer. Very good.

Large but busy pub across from Paddington station. Mostly Greene King beers, as expected. No real reason to drop in except to get a bite to eat while waiting for a train.

Cask. Pours a bright mahogany with moderate foamy head. Very light aromas of toasted malts and butter. Flavors of soft bready malts with just a hint of hops. Meh. Light malt beverage…

Possibly the only place to buy beer in Bourton-on-the Water other than a brewery or pub. Very small selection of local beers and ciders but many I have not tried. Good prices though most are 500 ml bottles.
