The Cereal Thrilla is an exceptionally good keg Breakfast Stout and been Knocking on the door for the last two weeks but I have to go with the Jaipur as BOTW, a classic IPA and still doing the business. Both from The Alfred.
Drinking limited to Saturday only:
Tring Moongazing (4.2%)
XT 22 (4.2%)
XT 7 (4.5%)
Animal Ocelot (4.6%)
Also had a great home-brewed chocolate vanilla porter (5.4% ABV) at a mate's shed bar, that they'd cheekily named Janet Street.
BOTW: XT 22
Some interesting beers this week, most found in the ever reliable Seven Stars.
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
XT Animal Guinea Fowl
Fownes Seven Crowns Sunburst IPA*
Lakealand IPA
Leatherbritches Bohemian Dark*
Impressed by the Seven Crowns Sunburst IPA although I'm not convinced that at 4.5% it qualifies. A decent pint nonetheless.
BOTW goes to Leatherbritches Bohemian Dark, a 5.9% rich and complex porter which didn't touch the sides.
Just a Friday tea time mini-crawl, this week:
Rat - White Rat.*
Oakham - Citra.*
Titanic - Plum Porter.
North Riding - Citra.*
Fyne Ales - Hurricane Jack.
Chin Chin - Alone in the Dark.
Five Towns - Pennine IPA.
Roosters - One Eighty.
Gun - Scaramanga.
Wensleydale - Falconer.
Not a lot in it, but because the White Rat was the first one of the day and in excellent nick, it gets the nod. Taken in Henry Boons.
