Not a great week for me. Generally the inferior beers were in good condition and the likely contenders were not at their best :-

Butcombe Great Grey Owl 3.6%
Phoenix Navvy 3.8%
Acorn Madness 4.5%
Young's Special 4.5%
Lancaster Red 4.9%
By The Horns Diamond Geezer 4.9%
Brewster's Calamity Jane 5.0%
Brodie's Old Street Pale 5.0%
Nethergate Old Growler 5.0%
Jenning's Snecklifter 5.1%
Clarence & Frederick'S IPA 5.2%
Hopcraft Spanish Main 5.5%

This means it has to be the ever reliable Brodie's Old Street Pale at £2.50 in the Leyton King William IV

BOTW Brodie's Old Street Pale

Quiet week for me, also.

Nine Standards - Double Standard.
Liverpool Organic - Styrian.
Fernandes - Cluster.
Fernandes - Nelson IPA.

All pretty decent, but as I was in the mood for a dark beer the Double Standard (porter) hit the spot.

A bit long on bottled eurofizz this including Desperado - different, Kronenbourg 1664 and Leffe - probably the best of these.
No surprise then that having nipped back just in time for one, BOTW is Oakham Bishops Farewell.

Only one beer, the other on offer ran out at the wildlife festival we were attending:
Hepworth's-Prospect Organic pale ale.The name describes it really.Biscuitty malt, but nearly as hoppy as it was a few years ago.My BOTW.
