BOTW was Oakham Asylum,bursting with hops in The Rake.
Next week relying heavily on a session in Ware
Kent
Old Dairy-Cattle Shed- 4.5%abv. Fruity hops.Great stuff.
Larkin's-Traditional-3.4%abv. A touch on the ardent side, the toffee was struggling to get through.
Rockin Robin- Reliant Robin-4.2%abv. In the evening gloom, I miss-read the ABV of this beer, and thought it well bodied for 3.4%.Oat straw; a bit sweet for me,though peach and spice came through towards the end.
My BOTW-Old Dairy Cattle Shed, an approachable APA, taken in the salubrious environs of the beer tent at the Weald of Kent Ploughing Match on Saturday. It was probably "bright", but I'm not really worried, and it hadn't traveled far.
Another fairly quiet week, so will have to go with Brewdog-5a.m. Saint in Preston's Roper Hall.
Decent week:

Some good ones there but BOTW was Blue Monkey Ape Ale by a margin. As reliable, delicious and drinkable as ever.
Even in deepest Wales the heat killed off the beer at the festival I went to so it was onto the cider after three.

Luckily the pub had some Jaipur in (£3.40) which was easily the best of the week.
BOTW Thornbridge Jaipur IPA
Blackjack - New Deck
BOTW - BrewDog Jet Black Heart (keg) (5.9%)
A warm, chocolatey drizzle of a milk stout, gratefully received at Stoke Newington's Jolly Butchers.
A fairly big selection this week which included a trip to Todmorden Beer Festival with oldboots & aleandhearty.
A good day out guys. :drinkup:
Some honourable mentions from the festival :-
Salopian Dead Drop
Mannings Music Man
Worsthorne Colliers Clog
All very pleasant, but BOTW is going to be Kirkstall Dissolution IPA. A 5% hop bomb tried quite a lot in The Baum. :cheers:
