A trip to Manchester, where four out of the five pubs visited were disappointing for one reason or another. The exception was the Hare & Hounds on Shudehill (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/25976/), where the Holts Bitter was drinking very well. What a superb beer, and an excellent pub too.




[Anyone suffering from deja vu, I posted this in last week's thread, having not read the date. Apologies.]

Only beer of the week:

Two bottles of Proper Job consumed yesterday. A much favoured beer on cask though never before sampled from bottle, but the puzzling increase in ABV from 4.5% (cask) to 5.5% (bottle) gave the beer a rather harsh quality which I really didn't like; I won't be buying it in bottle again.

Finally, after fifteen long months, I managed to get to the pub this weekend. Not only that, it was in the fine company of Cap'n Bucking Fastard, Thuck Phat and the rest of the crew. Several of Wakefield's finest were visited.

Cask:

Fernandes - Malt Shovel MILD.*
Wishbone - Abyss.
4Ts - English Stout.
North Riding - Harry's Cascade.*
Darkland - Jera.
Great Northern - Holderness Dark.
Alechemy - Bad Day At the Office.*

MSM is one of my favourite beers and it was my first pint after lockdown. Although it wasn't quite at the top of its game, that first mouthful was a pretty special moment. Taken, appropriately, in the Fernandes Brewery Tap (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/55466/).

Kent,East Sussex:

Seems a long time ago, but...

Harveys Sussex Best Bitter 4%abv. The sole cask beer in The Milk House (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/59023/) in these uncertain times, but in cracking form. I contrasted this with the "bright" version at a wedding. More was drunk of the latter, but the pub version was superior.
Long Man Best Bitter 4%abv. A reassuringly old school stalwart. After- note of almonds. My BOTW,taken at The Ram Inn (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/11012/)

[Thuck Phat]

Cracking week finishing in the fabulous North and a beer or two in A & H's convivial company:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Wishbone Abyss
Rat White Rat*
Five Towns Algorithm Dodger*
Harry's Cascade*
TT Landlord*
Rat King Rat
Marble Pint
Briggs Dirty Electro*
Brass Castle Bad Kitty*
Oakham Green Devil IPA*
Cross Bay Hops Be Trippin
Three Kings Silver Darling*
Vocation Heart & Soul
Roosters Strength in Numbers*
Vocation Hop Skip Juice* (keg)

Some fine beers there with the White Rat, Strength in Numbers and Bad Kitty worth a mention.
BOTW was Five Towns Algorithm Dodger a blueberry DIPA brewed locally and in very good nick. The blueberries were definitely there but not overwhelming and the initial gentle sweetness gave way to a moreish bitterness which made this one dangerous at 9%.

Some outstanding ale,many which would normally win BOTW easily but there can only be one winner so another nomination for Five Towns Algorithm Dodger on top nick in Henry Boons (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/41276/).The blueberry hit was perfectly balanced,unlike some of the crew who got unhinged by this deceptive brew.:nishelypished:

Great to also catch up with a&h ,also on very good form.
