It's between the Redwillow Seamless and the Catatonic. A joint venture between Tiny Rebel and Salopian was always likely to be good and this certainly was. It was taken at the Jolly Crispin in Upper Gornal for £3.20.

Desperately quiet for me. We were planning to go to this pub The Ram Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/11012/) bang next door to Burning Sky Brewery. Heigh ho.

Just the three:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Deya Steady Rolling Man*
Partners Head 'n' Feed*
All good and I was pleasantly surprised by the Head 'n' Feed.
BOTW Deya Steady Rolling Man. Described as an American Pale Ale on the pump clip and from a brewery new to me. At 5.2% it was exactly as per description and whistled down.

Mallinsons Twin Peaks, so called because it's brewed with Mount Hood & Mount Rainier hops (clever eh!).
A light, hoppy, 4.3% session beer. Slid down very nicely in The Baum.:cheers:
