I feel like I'm repeating myself...
Vocation - Life & Death. Working through the stash in the gardens.
London,sarf. Not a lot of cask
Shepherd Neame-1698 (bottle) 6%abv
Harvey's -XX Sussex Dark MILD 3%abv Flavoursome and reassuring.
Harvey's-Armada 4.5%abv Suave.
Gipsy Hill-Hepcat 4.6%abv.Keg, but inoffensive.
My BOTW-Harvey's XX Dark MILD.
Short list but all worthy of BOTW:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Little Brewing Company Taj*
Byatts Maibock*
Vale Gravitas*
BOTW Byatts Maibock. A 5.5%, beautifully balanced, German ale. Another winner from Byatts.
More Neck Oil and little cask for exploring the watering holes of Tooting, but a mini-fest of Oakham's beers at Islington's White Swan made up for something:
Beerblefish + Werewolf - Maple Tooth Tiger **½
Oakham - Bite the Bullet **
Oakham - Citra **½
Oakham - Mompesson’s Gold *¾
Oakham - Hawse Buckler *¾
Thornbridge - Lord Maximus **¾
Twickenham - Naked Ladies **¾
Not a brilliant drink, but sometimes the surroundings just add something else, so BOTW goes to Five Points - XPA **¾ at The Pride of Spitalfields last night.
Wakefield.
Fernandes - Mosaic.*
Fernandes - Luis Fernandes Porter.
Ossett - Citra.*
Fernandes - Voodoo Stout.
Fernandes - Citragen.*
Runaway - American Brown Ale.
Squawk - Sylvia.
Chin Chin - Still the Beats Bang.*
Another satisfying week, with several pale beers very good indeed. The winner is a big-hitting West coast IPA (5.6%). Taken in Luis Bar @ Fernandes.
Croydon,Manchester and Warwick.
Oakham -- Citra *
Burning Sky -- Aurora * (3PT)
Drop Project -- Jeez *(keg)
Marble -- Rocket *
Gasworks -- Alma IPA *
Smithfield Social -- Pilsner
Dark Star -- American Pale Ale
Church Farm -- Pale
Salopian -- Oracle

BOTW goes to Marble Rocket,their excellent interpretation of a 4.8% best bitter ,perfect with the cheeseboard taken in The Marble Arch.
Next week boating north through Brum and Tamworth plus end of season footie should produce a respectable list.
