The Jaipur is a contender but I'm going left field for the winner with the Blue Monkey Blubarb & Custard. I could well understand and wouldn't be at all offended if someone decided this was a BABOTW, I like rhubarb and for me this rhubarb and vanilla golden ale worked really well. It was an expensive £4.30 in the excellent Wellington in Brum.
BOTW Blue Monkey Blubarb & Custard
No pubs visited :o
So BOTW is awarded to several bottles of BrewDog Elvis Juice consumed quietly at home while saving myself for the onslaught in Newcastle Under Lyme.:drinkup::drinkup::drinkup:
Just a short list this week:
4T's - Old School Mild
Mallinsons - Bramling Cascade
Mallinsons - Wappy Nick
Outstanding - Blonde
Bristol Beer Factory - Ellehammer
Mallinsons - Stoutella
Arbor - The Ego has landed
Exmoor - Stag
Salamander - Pirates Stout
Theakstons - Best Bitter
Mostly good although I got suckered by the Arbor as there was no mention of the dreaded Mosaic on the clip, anyway washed my mouth out with BOTW Mallinsons - Bramling Cascade an interesting hop mix that works well.
Very quiet week with Hop Back Summer Lightening taking this week's crown.
Beavertown -heavy water 10.4 is still a sensational beer.
Whitstable - East India Pale in The Duke (of York)
