It will have to be Thornbridge - Kipling. Had in the Gasworks Manchester. That, and Jaipur, are always my must have when the pump clip is spotted.

No pub this week,but I enjoyed an al fresco pint of Cellar Head Single Hop-Bullion-Pale ale on the farm from whence came the Bullion. From one of those plastic bladder things, but a world away from the sarsonian gruel served at one of the 200 top pubs that I endured the weekend before.Indoors,I've enjoyed Pig and Porter Whispering Bob .
