A decent week.

Ilkley - Lotus IPA.*
Roosters - Baby Faced Assassin.*
North Riding - Citra.*
3Bs - Stokers Slake.
Small World - Thunderbridge Stout.

Quite a close call, this week. However, the Lotus, an old favourite, made with plenty of American hops, takes the honours.
Just three pubs visited last week, but a couple of them several times.

A JDW onlt week for me :-

Southwark Bermodnsey Best 4.4%
Reunion Beardtongue 4.5%
Portobello Market Porter 4.6%

ELB Cowcatcher 4.8%
Reunion Incredible Pale 5.0%
Pheasantry Mikado Kild 5.0%
Brewdog Punk IPA (keg) 5.4%
ELB Quadrant Oatmeal Stout 5.8%
I thought the Bermondsey Best was a good BBB although amber rather than brown but the winner is ELB Cowcatcher (£2.09) at the E11 Walnut Tree.
BOTW ELB Cowcatcher
Ashover - Zoo at 5.5%, a very quaffable pale ale brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops, in The Alexandra Hotel

No competition for the Marble beers which were all excellent. BOTW Marble Berimbolo. No description as it flew out of the glass so fast that the memory’s a touch blurred. Superb and a BOTY contender.
