The Branch having visited earlier in the year when Battle Brewery received an award for one of its beers, this time BLO Mac went on his own to give the pub the good news that it was making its debut in the Good Beer Guide. This is a pub tied to the brewery, so not surprisingly brewery owners Rob and Joanna Dudman were delighted with its inclusion, as was Rob the bar manager who is pictured in front of his casks with the GBG poster for the pub.
