Managed to sink 6 pints last night after a stressful day in the office.
2 x Fullers Dicovery - Jugged Hare, Pimlico
1 x No idea - The Expensie Cask Pub & Kitchen
2 x Guests (no idea names or brewies) - Willow Walk, Victoria
1 x Abbott - Willow Walk, Victoria
Wow! Sunday sessions with MrB really do take a severe toll on memory cells HTM - even into the following week!Quote:

I've had a rotten week for beer so far, my top tip of the week is don't bother drinking in Thurso if you like decent beer. Two outlets for real ale, neither up to much, lots of "laagar" of course.
Thank god for Sheffield and the Harrogate beer festival so things can only get better.
A few weeks ago I mentined Brentwood IPA as being my dishwater of ther week. Yesterday I had another Brentwood beer called Spooky Moon and it was just as bland and tasteless. I don't think I will be in hurry to do a pub crawl of Brentwood. I think the Stonehenge Pigswill is ahead at the moment but with Mrs B out tonight and my culinary skills limited to "heat and eat" it would be rude not to pop along for curry night especially since there is terrestrial TV footy on making it a rare sporty 'Spoons night. God, I am morphing into Hoppy.
Well, I had to look up Thurso on the map and it's hardly surprising to hear it's not a real ale stronghold.Quote:

Thornbridge Jaipur at the Sheffield Tap will be the perfect antidote to the weirdest tasting Deuchars I've ever had, :sick: and a surfeit of Tennants with a free iceberg :sick::sick: I don't mind cold laagar but not when it's -7 outside .Quote:

That's how bad it was
I suppose the Sheffield Tap may form the 1st & last venue of the day; if so, I think I'd leave the Jaipur until the latter visit.Quote:
