Kent: no visit this week, as the pub I'd planned on trying, in search of Kent Green hop beers, was absolutely packed, due to an Apple Day down pour.I wouldn't have gone in pre-covid:definately not now.

No variety this week:

BOTW Oakham Bishops Farewell. The only beer this week but it did pass the 3 pint test on more than one occasion.

More variety likely next week with the skipper back in action.

A mixed bag,some quite dull but others great with BOTW going to Blue Bee Ginger Beer in the quirky Lime Kiln (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/425/).I like Blue Bee beers and their Ginger has all the elements required.

Next week drifting down the Peak Forest And Macc all being well.

Another subdued week with just two (usual suspect) pubs visited.

Disruption Azacca*
Beartown Kodiak*
Langhams Arapaho*
Downlands 1984*
Wantsum Goldings* (Green Hopped)
Lakeland Blonde*
Oakham Citra*
Flowerpots Perridge Pale*

All quality and worthy of a*, the 1984 was set up to be BOTW , a quite sweet but moreish stout, but an extra couple of Langhams Arapaho on Sunday tipped the balance in favour of the APA.

This coming week also likely to be fairly quiet before stepping up the game in Brum on the 15th.

Sheffield and Chesterfield tackled over the weekend.

Thornbridge Jaipur at the Sheffield Tap was the highlight.
