BOTW goes to Blythe Staffie in great nick from The Angel Alehouse,Atherstone.Up against strong competition,it was very refreshing.
Next week looks quiet apart from a minor crawl planned in Biggleswade.
Reading saved the day,
Darkstar Hophead
Darkstar APA
Darkstar Blockhead
Triple fff Moon Dance
Fullers Olivers Island
Wylam Galaxia*
Hopcraft Devilfish Ink*
Sirencraft Broken Dream*
Blue Monkey Sanctuary*
Hopback Cropcircle
Zero Degrees Black Lager.*
BOTW Sirencraft Broken Dream* an awesome 6.5% breakfast stout, smoke, coffee and chocolate.
Only a small list this week.:-
Surrey Hills Shere Drop 4.2%
Brodie's Stepney Green Steam 4.5%
Burton Bridge Burton Porter 4.5%*
Twickenham Champion's Ale 4.7%*
Dark Star APA 4.7%*
Hawkshead Cumbrian Five Hop 5.0%*
Hydes Munchen 5.0%
Kelham Island Pale Rider 5.2%*
Brodie's Leytonstone Stout (Keykeg) 6.0%
Dark Star Green Hopped IPA 6.5%
The winner is the Dark Star APA in excellent condition for £2.85 at the Leatherhead Spoons. It should really have been the 5 Hop but that would have been a repeat. The Green Hopped was a bit disappointing, probably because it was served on gravity in a warm room.
BOTW Dark Star APA
Great call,for me it's going to be in contention for Beer of the Year.Quote:

Both the Staffie and Bishops were in top condition and excellent.
BOTW Titanic Plum Porter. Just what was needed on a chilly Autumn evening.
A quiet week.
Mallinsons - Columbus.
Fernandes - American Red Rye Ale.*
Rat - Rata Nui.*
Fernandes - Latte.*
Fernandes - Two Islands IPA.
Titanic- Cappuccino.*
Easy winner was the Rata Nui, another very drinkable hoppy, golden ale from the Rat stable.
Shindigger -black ipa 5.5 was pretty good in the Magpie Brentford and BOTW.
Big Smoke - Electric Eye Pale Ale
Early (for me) submission this week.
Despite several good beers tried around the Heatons on Friday BOTW is going to be
Blue Bee Attack Of The Geek a 6% IPA brewed with Mosaic hops. A total hopbomb.
I had a couple on Saturday in The Baum and another couple last night. It was still fantastic. :cheers:
