Managed to get a few beers in on another restrained week.
Dark Star Hophead
T.Taylors Landlord
Flowerpots Perridge Pale
Big Smoke Solaris
Hogs Back Hop Garden Gold
Joules Pure Blonde*
Manning Music Man*
Revolutions Clash*
Bakers Dozen Electric Landlady*
BOTW is the Electric Landlady, stunningly good with The Alfred coming up with the goods yet again.
Should be a decent list coming up this week as I'm in Bristol on Thursday and Friday.
A couple of swifties in Huddersfield, before a gentle wander round Halifax was the basis of this week's bibbing.
Mallinsons - Kiwi Calypso.
Roosters - Gridiron.
Shiny - Affinity.
Church End - Goats Milk.
Vocation - Bread & Butter.*
Rat - Ratcher in the Rye.
Titanic - Plum Porter.*
Vocation - Life & Death.*
Nightjar - Moloko.*
Burning Sky - PLateau.
Squawk - Aix.
KIrkstall - Dissolution IPA.*
Blackjack - Porter.
Salopian - Kashmir.*
Eagles Crag - Black Eagle.
Fernandes - Black Voodoo.
Fernandes - Great Northern.
Quite a few contenders, this week. However, the Life & Death, a big hitting modern IPA (6.5%), really perked up a jaded mid-session palate. Sampled in the Square Chapel Bar, Halifax.
Cross Borders - East Coast Pale keg
Harlow and St Albans.
Mc Mullens -- AK
Mc Mullens -- IPA
ABC -- Moose Springsteen Milkshake IPA (keg)
Mad Squirrel -- Big Sea IPA *
3 Brewers of St Albans -- English Golden Ale *
St Austell -- Big Job
Oakham -- Northern Pacific
BOTW goes to Mad Squirrel Big Sea IPA,a chunky 6% but well balanced in the correctly named Mad Squirrel Tap in St Albans.
Next week boating through Wolverhampton means a compulsory stop at the Great Western and then a Brum city centre adventure,before an end month session then footie so could be a big week.

I drank quite a lot of Carling/Carlsberg while researching Keighley on behalf on Pubs Galore and a lot of Macallan partly to take the taste away, the Cobra was with a curry of course.
BOTW Black Hole Brewery - Supernova
A very slow week for me with just a few JDW outings :-
Black Sheep Twilighter 3.9%
Portobello Decca Supreme Session Ale 4.3%
Lancaster Black 4.5%
HHook Norton Old Hooky 4.6%
Purple Moose Dark Side Of The Moose 4.6%
Banks;s Yazoo Hop Perfect IPA 4.8%
Brewdog Punk IPA (keg) 5.4%
The two best were the Yazoo JDW International and the Black Sheep Twilighter. The Black Sheep gets it, a low abv hoppy Summer pale / golden ale. It was £2.15 in the Welling JDW. Also had various tins from Tesco the best of which was the Thornbridge Halcyon.
