A very quick wander round Leeds, on Sunday afternoon, plus a couple of regular haunts on the way home.
Brass Castle - Fruit Lupe (Orange & Amarillo).*
Brass Castle - Dusky Bay.*
Roosters - Buckeye.
Cloudwater - Stout.
Vocation - Heart & Soul.*
Northern Monk - Salted Caramel Star.*
Beer Ink - That Rug Really Tied The Room Together.
Saltaire - Amarillo.
Rat - Rat in Black.
Wilde Child - Rite of Passage.
Rat - Rat Attack.
Squawk - Milvus IPA.
North Riding - Cascade.*
Stancill -Porter.
The Fruit Lupe drank a lot better than it sounds and nearly took the honours, but the Heart & Soul was in tip-top nick at Assembly Underground, Leeds. A worthy winner.

Some good stuff this week:
Bathams Best*
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA*
TT Landlord*
Jennings (Marstons) Cocker Hoop
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Sarah Hughes Surprise*
Hop Back Summer Lightening
York Yorkshire Terrier
Run very closely by an excellent pint of Jaipur IPA, BOTW goes to Sarah Hughes Surprise. A typical Black Country beer: initially sweet, hops not overly prominent but with a clever, dry and very moreish finish. Like Bathams Best on steroids at 5%.
