There's only a few I'm not familiar with and no breweries I've never heard of. It's good to see a crafty one get the major gong and Salopian doing well. I'm not sure about the mild results. Re the strong bitters, Revelation is one of my all time favourites and Kinver brewery is a favourite of mine.

Yes I do and Ind Coope Burton Ale which I still think was a decent drink but often badly handled. I'm not familiar with Rhymney Dark but ELB Orchid is one of the best milds I've ever tried.

I tried Goats Milk twice on my visit to Atherstone. Neither were clear or resembled a decent beer. Their Coffin Stout on the other hand ......

I received an email from CAMRA this afternoon. I felt more comfortable with this list than past years.
