I was deeply impressed with beer quality in Preston,not a single duff ale and many high NBSS scoring brews.The dark selection was terrific from which BOTW goes to Wilde Child Glutinous Maximus ,very strong toffee milk stout ,sweet yet it slipped down in The Guild Alehouse (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/83929/).

Next week looks solid,two doses of footie,boating to Cov and end month session in Hertford and Surbiton.My cup will overfloweth.

As with Tris BOTW is for the second time this year is Titanic Plum Porter Grand Reserve in the same location, odd in the fact that I don't really like the standard version, :confused: but this was good.

Surrey: a case of mistaken identity.

Surrey Hills-Ranmore Ale:3.8%abv.Barley straw session pale.Willowy hops, some hint of stone.
Pentrich Brewing-Count The Miles:5%abv.A cloudy New England pale.Hazy,soft sweet. Tropical fruit.
Oakham-Citra. I meant to oder this, but ended with
Brew by Numbers-21 Pale Citra:5.2%abv. Murky, from keg dispense.Citric, followed by stone fruit. I enjoyed this,against my better judgement.

My BOTW-Pentrich Brewing-Count the Miles.All taken at Surrey Oaks (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/35618/)

Meagre pickings compared to the North Western lists:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Lacons Legacy*

BOTW Lacons Legacy. A bitter, refreshing, 4.4% pale.

A shame to have missed Preston, but pub time is very limited at the moment, for various reasons. Just a couple of mini tea time sessions, this week.

Thornbridge - AM:PM.
Tigertops - Dark Wheat.*
North Riding - US Session Pale.
Blue Bee - Vanilla Stout.
Blue Bee - Enigma Mosaic IPA.*
Chin Chin - Savage Smile.
Fat Cat - Milk Stout.
Durham - A Day Away.
Rudgate - Ruby.
Ossett - Classic Twist.*

Quite a close call, but the Enigma just scrapes home. Taken in Harry's Bar (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/60167/).
