A quite friday after the exceses of last week:D
Doctor Mortons - Eurocrat
Mallinsons - Great Bails of Fire
Bobs Brewing - Super Chief
Abbeydale - Illumination
Stonehenge - Old Smokey
Burton Bridge - Money Maker

Was dissapointed by the Abbeydale , i usually like their beer but this one had a strange aftertaste (beef chow mein:eek:)

Hard to choose between the Dr Mortons , Mallinsons and Bobs

A crawl round Nottingham and Sheffield gave a great variety of breweries and beers, but I have to go for Castle Rock Screech Owl 5.5%. Superb. Had a few and enjoyed them all.

Nothing outstanding this week, but the pint of Boggart Rum Porter I had in the Knott, Deansgate, Manchester was pretty good on a cold winter's day, as was the O'Hanlons Port Stout which has made a welcome return to my village local. However, on balance, I'll think I'll nominate the Hydes Yule Be Back which I had in Maidstone today (and which should be widely available as part of Wetherspoons Christmas Ale selection).

I've been busy ticking off all the strong beers at the Euston Tap and can recommend the Left Hand Imperial Stout if you like a trip to the dark side. However my BotW goes to another strong stout and a holdover from the JDW Festival, Wadworth Pixley Blackcurrent Stout. Very drinkable for a 6% beer and the blackcurrent doesn't dominate the taste. Didn't find it during the festival but glad I have now.

:drinkup: (I think perhaps we should have a dark beer version of this)

A relatively quiet week on the ale front but the discovery of Thomas Guest's Cobbler, an excellent, traditional best at 4.4% was a highlight. However, based purely on it being a true 'bounce out of the glass' pint my BOTW is Dark Star's American Pale Ale.

Went to Bury Beer Festival on Saturday and have also done a crawl through Bury & Sowerby Bridge this week. So plenty of choice.

With an honourable mention to two brand new breweries Pilot Pale from Irwell Works Brewery and Bootleg Brewing Co's Contraband (brewed by a 19 year old girl). Both of which were excellent for new brews.

The winner is Mayhem from North Yorkshire Brewery. Two pints tried at The Firehouse in Sowerby Bridge. :cheers:

As Oggy hinted, a very quiet week after the 'glorious 12th'. Only two contenders, Townhouse 'Styrian Pale' and the winner by a whisker Fernandes 'Double Decker Pecker'.

Another quiet week but looking forward to the London meet up to expand my drinking horizons.BOTW goes to Trashy Blonde from BrewDog in the unlikly surroundings of a GK branded pub,The Three Horseshoes,Willian.It didnt feel quite right to be drinking a golden ale at this time of the year but the other options were much less palatable.

A very quiet week on the ale-front, with only 6 pints consumed over a one-day period.

TT Landlord x 1
Harvey’s Sussex Best x 5

BOTW: Harvey’s Sussex Best

Cottage Somerset & Dorset Ale just about gets the nod this week ahead of Brodies Red and Purple Moose Glaslyn Ale.

Some goodies this week, not least the quartet of pints I had in Burslem (Titanic Steerage, Woods Quaff, Oakham Inferno and AN Other - I left my notes at home!). Tried another Old Dairy beer last night (Copper Top) - good but not as good as the Gold Top. Still getting a few remnants of 'Spoons festival ales, Oakleaf Wethers Original being the pick. This week's BotW though goes to one that I missed out on in the Barton Arms last week so I was happy to get another shot at it whilst in Burslem - Oakham Inferno.

Arbor Ales (again) Oyster Stout at a minifest in the Three Crowns Chippenham Friday was top notch but BATHAMS Mild in various outlets in the West Midlands on Saturday had to be the very best consumed. (15 pints Roger.....) :eek:
