Norfolk and Northamptonshire:

Brancaster Best
Brancaster Oystercatcher*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Dow Bridge Acris*
Dow Bridge Legions

I was pleasantly surprised by the Dow Bridge Acris, a traditional bitter, possibly even a BBB, but with a nice dry finish. Better I'd guess than the London Sh*te and Gloom Bore I've read about recently.
BOTW was Brancaster Oystercatcher not for the first time and hopefully not the last. Very fresh and easily passed the 3 pint test.

Hampshire, Surrey, South and central London.

Flowerpots Perridge Pale*
Crafty Arctic Fox (keg)
Dark Star Hophead
Adnams Mosaic
Beavertown Gamma Ray (keg)
Harveys Dark Mild
Navigation Rebel*
Navigation American*
Milestone Azacca Gold*
Milestone Hammerhead Stout*
Revolutions Swoon*
Disruption People Of The Hop Vol 1* (keg)
Titsey Leverson Buck
360 Degrees Session IPA*

Despite some decent cask the clear winner is Disruption People Of The Hop Volume 1, possibly the best keg beer I've ever had, certainly the smoothest, the first in a series of beers matching up various hops, in this case Mosaic, Azacca and Callista, at 6.5% it commands a price of £6.00 a pint in The Alfred (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/35750/), I have had three halves so far and will be having more.

A short break to Sheffield this week should give a decent list next week.
