I really enjoyed both kegs but BOTW goes to Everards Going for Gold,a Commonwealth games seasonal but NBSS 4 in The Barley Mow,essential after a morning working locks and boating through a heatwave.
Next week lots of sport action but rail strikes may curtail boozing.

Have to go with the strongest beer tried this week, North Brewing/Varvar Barrel Aged Smoked Stout a 9.0% Imperial Stout, much enjoyed in the equally enjoyable Hole In The Wall.
Kent:
Nightjar-Not all Heroes wear Capes:5.5%abv.Hazy,tropical fruit.Farmyard.From a new to me brewery.
CellarHead-Hop Project #7 Summer Pale:4.2%abv.Hazy, a bit muted on the hop front,unfortunately.
Dark Star-Hophead:3.8% abv. First time I'd drunk this since 2019. Not a patch on what it once was.
Goacher's Real MILD Ale:3.4%abv.Refreshing on a hot day.Roasty with a pleasant astringency.Taken at Red Lion
My BOTW-Nightjar: Not all Heroes wear Capes.
To me it's now a totally different beer, once ground breaking now decidedly average, which is a shame.Quote:
