Short on variety but long on quality:

Oakham Bishop’s Farewell*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*
Adnams Ghost Ship*

All good but BOTW goes to Adnams Ghost Ship as 3 very welcome pints flew down after a long walk.

Stratford upon Avon.

Yeastie Boys -- Digital IPA (can)
Vocation -- Life & Death (can)
BrewDog -- Punk IPA(can)
Hanlon's -- Stormstay

Greene King -- IPA
Pentrich -- Perfect Sounds IPA * (keg)
Three Hills -- Trium Faba Imperial Stout * (keg)
Vault City -- Strawberry Woo Woo Sour * (keg)
Vault City -- Pineapple & Habernero Sour (bottle)

BOTW goes to Three Hills Trium Faba ,an 11% Russian Imperial Stout on keg at Ya-Bard (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/89143/).Intense coffee but with vanilla and then subtle coconut I didn't mind paying £3.95 for a third in such convivial surroundings.

Kent,East Sussex

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') -East Kent IPA 6.5%.A real heavy hitter:juicy flint, perfectly conditioned.Epic.A welcome change from those murky,fluffy confections masquerading as IPA.
Brumaison-Flaxen XPA 3.8%. Very pale, a bit thin.Taste of onions.Hmm.
Gun-Scaramanga 3.9%. Crisp session pale ale.

My BOTW-Gadds' East Kent IPA,taken,as is often the case,at Larkins' Alehouse (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/85780/)
