I could only count five of these that I actually remember drinking, and White Shield is donkey's years ago!

I could only count five of these that I actually remember drinking, and White Shield is donkey's years ago!

Actually my tick quota is quite high, but mainly because Buntingford Brewery seem to have done well and I've had a couple of trips to Guildford where Surrey Hills brews are well distributed.
And nice to see Purple Moose get a mention as I did the brewery tour last month whist on vacation and there's good things coming out of Porthmadog in addition to the steam trains..

Crikey - the only two casks we haven't had out of that lot are the Cotswold Spring Old Sodbury Mild and the Buntingford Polar Star.

Bronze – Fernandes – Malt Shovel Mild (West Yorkshire)

Well, I didn't see that one coming. A very pleasant surprise. One of my favourite beers, I'll always have it when it's on in the Fernandes Tap. I'm delighted for Steve Hutchinson, the brewer, who turns out tasty beers week after week, in his cramped two and a half barrel plant, in the cellar, about ten feet below the bar!

I only need 2 from that list.Kelburn and Beeston. Had the Old Sodbury Mild about 2 weeks ago not overly impressed. Big surprise for me is Mordue -Workie Ticket. I just don't understand why they are highly rated.Have to try it again.
