All about Birmingham this week:

Twisted Wheel Moral Panic*
Hobsons Green Hop*
Towers Chamberlain Pale Ale
Thornbridge Market Porter
Oakham White Dwarf*
Bransome Golden Fiddle
Thornbridge Jaipur*
Fixed Wheel Wheelie Pale
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

Tough call this week with recall of each beer not being the best although I do remember the Jaipur clearly which I enjoyed despite it's chilliness.

BOTW Hobson's Green Hop. The only green hopped beer I've had this Autumn and it was juicy.

Difficult choice ,BOTW goes to Blue Bee Parkwood Porter which stood out on the crawl despite my tastebuds taking a battering from a large mix of different beers previously.Having a pint helped and it was in good condition in The White Swan (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/55712/),for me one of the highlights of the tour.

Next week no rest for the wicked with boating to Kidsgrove and Stone finished off by weekend footie.
