All these were £2.09 in the E11 JDWs.

Another week where the standard was pretty high, overall. The Forge, a hazy 6% NEIPA just shades it.

[Thuck Phat]

Four reasonably regular ones for me:

Brancaster Oystercatcher*
Adnams Ghost Ship*
Abbeydale Moonshine*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

Enjoyed them all but the Adnams Ghost Ship just shades BOTW as it was there, in top nick, on a warm evening when it was most needed.
