A better week than I was expecting in and around London.

Mc Mullens -- Rivertown Brewing APA
Marston's -- Pedigree
Firebird -- Parody
Sam Smith -- Old Brewery Bitter
Nelson's -- Trafalgar Bitter
Greene King -- Yardbird Pale
Oakham -- Bishops Farewell * (>3PT)
Saltaire -- Amarillo *
Saltaire -- Triple Chocoholic *

The last three were excellent and BOTW goes to Oakham Bishops Farewell on top form in The Mansion House (www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/24078/),not sure how much I actually consumed during a lengthy session.

Next week some boating haunts before flying off to warmer climes.

Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout

A decent week for me, managing three sessions. That's about as good as it gets these days.

Tigertops - A&E.*
Hawkshead - Brodie's Prime.
Great Heck - Yakima IPA.*
Gun - Pale.
Empire - Moonraker's Mild.
Horbury - What Now.
Saltaire - New Grounds.
Parkway - Resolution.
Exit 33 - Winter Warrior.*
North Riding - Enigma.*
Empire - Fakir.
North Riding - American Pale.
Thornbridge - Hopton.
North Riding - Mosaic.*
Titanic - White Star.
Thornbridge - Crackendale.
North Riding - Milk Chocolate Stout.

Some very good beers, this week. The Winter Warrior, a complex, strong dark ale, containing treacle, takes the honours. A special mention for the A&E, a wonderfully bitter copper beer, which was the chosen brew for the Tuesday night '£1 a pint' offer in Harry's Bar. Certainly enjoyed my fiver's worth!

A great boozer proving itself yet again.

Short list this week but all quality:

Everards Tiger*
Salopian Midnight Sunshine*
Salopian Luminescence*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

BOTW Salopian Midnight Sunshine. A moreish 4.7% stout. Perfect on a chilly day.

[Spinko]

Brass Castle - Sunshine. Where else but Stockton's Golden Smog

[Aqualung]

vocation -breakfast club
This excellent beer has ben reduced to £2.00 in my local Tesco. I guess that £3.00 for a 440ml can is too much for a supermarket.
