Back from today's sesh so I can nominate my BOTW from this short list:
Roosters - First World Problems
Theakston - Old Peculier
Black Sheep Best Bitter
Slaters - 1 Hop (used to be Top Totty?)
Hambleton - Nightmare Porter
Durham - Pacific Fusion
Live Brew - Pale (Oat & Chinook)
The Top Totty was excellent but just in front Hambleton - Nightmare Porter, the only decent beer they brew for my money.
A mixed bunch this week
Butcombe Rare Breed
Flowerpots Perridge Pale
Brunning & Price Traditional Bitter
Sherfield Lockdown
Longdog Bunny Chaser
Timothy Taylor Landlord
Milestone Shine On
Milestone Honey Porter
Tomos & Lilford Stout Point
Triple fff We'll Meet Again
Front Row Sin Bin
Piddle Cocky
Ascot Grumpy Landlord
The best of the bunch was Tomos & Lilford Stout Point, despite its name it's actually a Vanilla Porter, quite sweet but smooth and rather nice.
Kent and Cambridgeshire
Goachers -Special House Ale 3.9%abv.Full of transcendental Tovil goodness.
Iron Pier-Long Ferry 3.8%abv.Chewy malt,spicy hops.
Papworth-The Whitfield Citrabolt 3.8%abv. Long bitter finish, a golden ale.
Adnams-Ghost Ship 4.5%abv.Pretty epic.
My BOTW-Iron Pier Long Ferry. New to me, from a brewery I respect.
