Most of week the Red Star IPA has been nailed on but pipped at the post last night by Wantsum Black Prince, a very lovely, almost stout like Mild and worthy BOTW. Both enjoyed in The Alfred (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/35750/) on different days.

A modest week in South London.

Wimbledon -- SW17
Robinsons -- Trooper Light Brigade


and BOTW ,yet again Burning Sky Aurora * (>3PT) in perfect nick and now a permanent ale at the top bar in The George. (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/35541/)

Next week a few unreviewed pubs in The Fens,where it can be hit and hope on the ale front.

A very quiet week with only BOTW Oakham Bishops Farewell featuring.

Ah, great minds think alike, Moby. It was BOTW for me, when I tried it. I commented at the time it had a richness that belied its strength. Lovely stuff.

Good week for me, including one of my favourite Sunday afternoon crawls.

Fernandes - Barley Promise.
Titanic - Plum Porter.*
Lacons - Charter.
Fernandes - Blue Lady.
Fernandes - Polaris.*
Quirky - 1 Hop Wonder.
Nook - Oat Stout.
Nook - Berry Blonde.
Mallinsons - Cascade.
Abbeydale - Wanderer.
Titanic - Cappuccino Stout.*
Wigan Brewhouse - Kicker.
Bad Seed - Juice Freak.
Stancill - Black.
Great Heck - Christopher.*
North Riding - Cascade.
North Riding - Peanut Butter Stout.
MVB - Panther.
Harbour - Little Rock IPA.*

Several contenders in that list, but the Christopher (flavoured with Columbus hops, geddit?) just takes it.

Romney Marsh-Murmuration 5% Malt led,some blackberries.OK but not really to my taste.Not sure which iteration of Murmuration this was.

Interesting week, could have been any of the dark beers or the Oktoberfest beer but it's Timothy Taylors 1858 Brown Ale that caught my tatse buds.

Goose Eye - Black Moor
Salamander - Hallelujah
Hacker-Pschorr - Oktoberfest Marzen (bottled)
Ascot - Starting Gate
North Riding - Rum & Raisin Mild
Turning Point - Rising Tide
Revolutions - Final Countdown
Saltaire - No5 Stout
Bricknell - Chocolate Porter (bottled)
Taylors - 1858 Brown Ale
Atom - Jennsen's Lens
Atom - Dark Matter
Terrapin/Wadworth - Terrapin (something) Bliss*
Camerons - Strongarm
Rudgate - Ruby Mild


*had in Wetherspoons but the price ticket was covering the name, it looks like a "beer festival" beer but isn't on the list I have.

Had a pint of that earlier at The Pear Tree (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/57006/). Crazy pump clip, but obviously didn't look at it hard enough as I had no idea Wadworth was involved.

It'll be an International one. The Festival is next month. I tend to avoid anything by Wadworth.

Some decent beers again this week but the return of
Oakham -hawse buckler could not be overlooked.So three pints it was.

Late to the party I know, but my beer of the week for last week would have to be a joint win between Gulden Draak and Piraat (both by Brouwerij Van Steenberge), two really enjoyable Belgian beers made even better for their absolute bargain price in a box of six Belgian beers from Lidl.

These had to compete against Double Maxim (not new to me, but not had it for a few years), Brew No.34 Dinga Dinga (Rudgate Brewery), Great North Eastern Gold (Great North Eastern Brewing Company) and Perlenbacher Festbier (Lidl).
