Not everyone gets to pull a cracker in a folk setting, RM, some of us pull dogs (or ferrets).

And so to the serious matter: beer.

I have spoken again to Peter the licensee today. Sheps have been mucking him about and he has not been able to find out what session/seasonal beers he will be able to get in small barrel or large box for serving under gravity.

I will check again tomorrow evening, Monday.

I'm not a mad fan of Masterbrew - but it is the weakest (3.8, I think) so perhaps a choice for the drivers.

If it is still available, Kent's Best (which I prefer) is I think 4.1.

I quite like the Late Red (not sure of the strength offhand) and the Oyster Stout (quite strong I think).

Sheps also do some Xmas beers in bottles - but they are IMHO too strong to drink as session beers. They are WAY stronger than Shitfire (Spitfire) and Nun's Pleasure (Bishop's Finger)- but they are well reviewed. Shall I suggest Peter gets a few bottles in and leaves them on the shelf unrefrigerated?
