The Masons Beer - Results

Thanks to everyone who took part in the Mason Arms Beer Preferences Survey. Over 80 people completed the questionnaire and made suggestions for the range of drinks that could be available when the pub reopens. The results and comments will be passed on to the new owners and, although it won’t be possible to include everyone’s favourites, the list will help them to choose the final selection.
