Against expectations,managed a few this week, mostly good.
Goffs Jester Brew 1
Dark Star Hophead
Potbelly Piggin Saint
Potbelly Beijing Black
Industrial Coal Face Stout
Raw Baby Ghost IPA
Stockport West Coast IPA
White Horse Stable Genius
The Hophead was the best I've tasted in a long while, almost certainly Partridge Green brewed, so much better than the sweet gloop brewed in Chiswick. But BOTW this week is Industrial Coal Face Stout, nothing fancy about it, just a solid 4.5% very drinkable stout.
Kent:
Three Legs-IPA 6% abv.Apparently launched this week, a delicious juicy, murky IPA.Stewed apricots. Dangerously drinkable.My BOTW,taken at Larkins' Alehouse

Next week drifting nothwards on the Grand Union ,then some footie which should net some much better ale.
Bit late but never mind.
Oakham -green Devil ipa on cask at the Antelope Surbiton.
Truly a great beer and one of my favourites.
And me!! It can usually be found in Glasgow City JDWs or more reliably the State Bar. I've got a visit lined up in May.Quote:
