Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#24. POOLE. With light fading I popped into a Marstons pub called the Foundry Arms, not much to see here in terms of beer, although surprisingly I'd never had the cask version of this one - or at least rated it before. Golden glowing golden style ale. Healthy enough, hoppy and steady and mildly sticky-sweet.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#23. POOLE. Last beer in the Brewpub visit. Fruity session IPA and an easy texture as you'd expect. Slightly over-carbonated but full of a tropical fruit aroma and taste.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#22. POOLE. Fourth beer at the brewpub. Black with a small head. Its chocolate is not heavy but the 'cake' style is evident, albeit quite dry in its finish.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#21. POOLE. Third different third at the brewhouse. Sweet porter, so much so its berries and fruit negate the style completely, including a sweet aroma. By no means a bad brew though. Cherry notes.

Square shop unit taproom. I'm unsure if their own brews are made on-site as I couldn't see any brewing equipment. Seven are available and I tried a palate of four for a reasonable price. Four guest keg are also available in a keg only venue. It's also a few minutes walk north of the train station at Parkstone. The exposed brickwork works well here with a tiled and wooden floor, in what comes across as a fairly traditional setting within a middle shop unit on a busy road.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#20. POOLE. Second of five thirds at the brewpub and furthest right on the photo. Dark clear amber with a texture not feeling its strength. Its taste does though with a fine and appealing sugariness.
