Woodforde's Nelson's Revenge*
Adnams Ghost Ship*
Brancaster Oystercatcher*
Woodforde's Once Bittern

All were decent but BOTW Brancaster Oystercatcher was on top form on the several occasions I found it.
Harlow,Hertford and Hoxton.
Mc Mullen's -- IPA
Mc Mullens -- AK
Mighty Oak -- Jake the Snake
New River -- Blnd Poet
Titanic -- Plum Porter *
Five Points -- Pale *
Crouch Vale -- Brewers Gold *
Five Points -- Railway Porter *
Weird Beard -- Mariana Trench *
I can't award BOTW two weeks running to Titanic Plum Porter ,so this week it goes to Five Points Railway Porter on sparkling form in The Wenlock Arms,along with a host of other ales.A classic London Porter with the dry,bitter finish which always demands another.
Next week boating into Rugeley and Tamworth plus footie so my cup may runneth over.

I really enjoyed all the highlighted beers, but the US Session Pale, made with Loral and Mosaic hops had incredible flavour for a 3.8% beer. Sampled in Harry's Bar
North Yorkshire
Yorkshire Dales-Swale Trail Pale 3.8%abv. Grand north country pale ale.Initial sweet impression,long berry finish.
Yorkshire Dales-Butter Tubs 3.7%abv. Not as zesty as I remember it.Some sort of mineral back taste.
