BOTW is Siren Undercurrent the first beer of the day on a crawl around Oxford, taken in The Grapes.
Quiet week which included:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Purity Mad Goose
and BOTW Abbeydale Moonshine which slid easily past the three pint test on a warm and sociable Sunday afternoon.
Very slim pickings, this week.
North Riding - Citra.*
Wild Weather - Surprisingly Limber.
Stod Fold - Dr Rudi.
Last week's BOTW was Oakham Citra, this week it's the North Riding version.
Thames Path and Pimlico.
Five Points -- XPA
St Austell -- Proper Job
Burton Bridge -- Draught Burton Ale
Fullers -- Day Dreamer *
Portobello -- APA *
Beavertown -- Gamma Ray (keg)
Bira 91 -- White Beer (keg)
Thornbridge -- Civil Servants Boys Friday Pale Ale *
Burning Sky -- Tony Evans IPA *
The last two were brewed for Cask's 10th birthday celebration and BOTW goes to Burning Sky Tony Evans IPA,sublime and you would never guess it's 7% .Aurora on steroids and another contender for Beer of the Year.
Next week brief visit to Hanley then some Craft Beer Co. action.
Kent (West.)
Cellar Head-IPA 5%abv:First out of the cask.Floral,piney,hazy.

Larkins-Traditional 3.4%abv:Fine.
My BOTW-Larkins Best Bitter,taken, with its siblings, at Rock
I'd recommend staying on the boat and using up all the rations!!Quote:

Rather than repeat Jaipur I'm going for Batham's Best. It's a beer that defies all the rules as it's old school and superficially sweet yet isn't. Several pints were tried at £2.95 in their tied Stourbridge Royal Exchange.
BOYW Batham's Best
