Back from today's sesh so I can nominate my BOTW from this short list:

Roosters - First World Problems
Theakston - Old Peculier
Black Sheep Best Bitter
Slaters - 1 Hop (used to be Top Totty?)
Hambleton - Nightmare Porter
Durham - Pacific Fusion
Live Brew - Pale (Oat & Chinook)


The Top Totty was excellent but just in front Hambleton - Nightmare Porter, the only decent beer they brew for my money.

A mixed bunch this week

Butcombe Rare Breed
Flowerpots Perridge Pale
Brunning & Price Traditional Bitter
Sherfield Lockdown
Longdog Bunny Chaser
Timothy Taylor Landlord
Milestone Shine On
Milestone Honey Porter
Tomos & Lilford Stout Point
Triple fff We'll Meet Again
Front Row Sin Bin
Piddle Cocky
Ascot Grumpy Landlord

The best of the bunch was Tomos & Lilford Stout Point, despite its name it's actually a Vanilla Porter, quite sweet but smooth and rather nice.
