Late entry for reasons but a good week with some more Northern exposure:

Settle Elderflower
Fell Volk
Three Kings Apache*
Mill Valley Chocolate Orange Stout*
Phoenix Arizona*
Redwillow Weightless*
Saltaire Citra
Mighty Medicine Pirate Juice
Marble Berimbolo*
Marble Lagonda*
Marble Alf*
Marble/North Riding Silly Point (keg)*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Brancaster Oystercatcher*

Some very good beers there with the Chocolate Orange Stout, Apache and Weightless worth mentions.

Marble beers on cask at the Marble Arch never fail to exceed expectations and they all did. Tricky to pick one out as they were all excellent but I’ll go for Marble Berimbolo as BOTW. Fresh, thirst quenching and very sessionable at 4.5%. Nigh on impossible to keep in the glass.

[Bucking Fastard]

Another late submission.

Todmorden and Rochdale

Settle -- Elderflower (3PT)
Hawkeshead -- Pale*
Three Kings -- Apache APA
Mill Valley -- Chocolate Orange Stout *
Titanic -- Raspberry Pale*
RedWillow -- Weightless *
Strata -- Strike
Vocation -- Heart & Soul*

A week shortened by injury but with a very worthy BOTW in Mill Valley Chocolate Orange Stout true to all those flavours and totally moorish in The Pub. (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/85630/)

Great to see ROBCamra and Ms Camra who were excellent guides in The Dale,a top drinking town.
