:D That was exactly my reaction. Sorry ETA, it'll never float my boat.

Having just spent the weekend in Bath, and drunk a fair bit of this stuff, my BotW goes to Bath Ales Gem.

A pint of Green Mill Big Chief followed by several pints of Mallinsons Centennial. What a good beer, it's got a chance this week.

Well, despite quite a few pints over the weekend, nothing has come close to Mallinsons Centennial, so that's the beer of the week. :cheers:

Was hoping to squeeze a couple in yesterday, but unfortunately not to be. Therefore, Mallinson's 'Castle Hill Premium' is my BOTW.

So that's two votes for a Mallinsons beer this week so far. Keep 'em coming Tara (Mallinson). :notworthy:

Without real ales this week.. I'll have go for.. ahem.. Carlsberg that I had at The Fox. Oh feeling the shame... :(

Did you find somewhere to watch the football in the end?

Hmm… last week was not a particular good one, beer-wise and in fact, was somewhat lager-fuelled!

11 pints over a 3-day period, with an assortment of bottled beverages thrown in.

Beck’s Vier x 3
Guinness x 3
Leeds Brewery Midnight Bell x 1
Tetley’s Cask x 1 – vile, truly vile.
Gamers Cider x 1
Tuborg Lager x 2
The Nelson Brewery Ballywrinkle Brown Ale (bottled-conditioned) x 1
The Nelson Brewery Spinnaker (bottled-conditioned) x 1
Shepherd Neame Masterbrew (bottle) x 2
Stella Artois (bottle) x 2

BOTW: Masterbrew. Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear.
