Unusually no pub visits this week so BOTW goes to a bottle of

It's between the Redwillow Seamless and the Catatonic. A joint venture between Tiny Rebel and Salopian was always likely to be good and this certainly was. It was taken at the Jolly Crispin in Upper Gornal for £3.20.

Nearly all were good this week but the CBOB Tiny Rebel Cwtch justified its status, enjoyed in in The Draft House Birdcage. BOTW.
Unfortunately, another very quiet week.
Fernandes - Triple OOO.
Rat - E-Rat-ification.*

The easy winner was an old favourite.

Desperately quiet for me. We were planning to go to this pub The Ram Inn bang next door to Burning Sky Brewery. Heigh ho.
Just the three:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Deya Steady Rolling Man*
Partners Head 'n' Feed*
All good and I was pleasantly surprised by the Head 'n' Feed.
BOTW Deya Steady Rolling Man. Described as an American Pale Ale on the pump clip and from a brewery new to me. At 5.2% it was exactly as per description and whistled down.
Mallinsons Twin Peaks, so called because it's brewed with Mount Hood & Mount Rainier hops (clever eh!).
A light, hoppy, 4.3% session beer. Slid down very nicely in The Baum.:cheers:
