Can I put in a request for Wadworths Henry's IPA to go into the Bad category, it currently resides in "good" and at 3.6 hardly an IPA and it is not good.
2 nominations this week, both Wadworths. Normally steer well clear and for good reason but enforced due to a visit to a Wadworths pub http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/33124/

Its one of their "local heroes" pubs, which is a move to be commended IMO

Forget about Doom Bore, Stuart Howe is a brewer who knows what he's doing. He is a bit of an opinionated **** but he knows his stuff, read his blog here:

Quite right, the 60 barrel brew house is in fact a 15, he produces 60 FIRKINS a brew. A barrel is 36 gallons, not 9. Maybe someone should point that out...
Came across an Elephant training school beer - Oddsnsods, a dark 4.3% bitter. Whilst drinkable and having a decent amount of aroma hops in it I would go with your opinion - OK. It smacks a bit of...
I don't know much about this but a bit more than most from what I can see.
These are both ciders as such they are fermented from juiced apples but here in Somerset there are "cider snobs" who take...
Can't stand Cottage myself. Always brewing "new recipes" which seem little different to ones gone previously. Good landlords locally in Somerset generally can't stand them either. They sell at very...
Ah yes, The Blue Flame, in the middle of the levels a true gem.
Just done it for the South West. As I understand the local CAMRA branch (mine is Somerset) nominates beers in each category from it's branch. Members can then vote for the beers that all the branches...
One visit to a quality pub enables me to contribute to this thread
Cheddar Hops and Glory
Moor Revival
Moor So'Hop
- My BOTW
Made the mistake of having the Moor before the Cheddar (well it...
Not sure if has been mentioned but definitely worthy: person / people in front of you order a large round of Guinness which is the slowest beer to serve. Also there just happens to be the most inept...
Think you just defined the APA. Strictly speaking an IPA, originating in this country, should only contain British hops or hops that were available to brewers in the 19th Century when the style was...
Funny you should mention the "C" word, another contender for the BABOTW was a saison. Maybe I just like brewers yeast, malt and hops. Call me old fashioned if you will.
Several beers at Minehead CAMRA festival enjoying the steam (and a Diesel or 2) engines.
Definitely worthy of Mentioning:
Saltaire New World Red
Wild Beer Madness
Red Willow Wreckless

Nothing discernably wrong with the beer, so BABOTW to Hardknott Cool Fusion. Just didn't get what this was meant to be, there was a bit of ginger, some sourness and spices and didn't even taste of...
This is a pic of Marstons trying to grab hold of the "craft" ticket to push sales with their rebranding of Ringwood.

Reduced the ABV as well. The general feeling around these parts is that...
Saddles connected to a remote chiller unit is the system used at many CAMRA festivals. The chiller unit creates an ice bank and circulates cold water through the cooling saddles which sit underneath...

Thursday and Friday both spent at Tuckers Maltings beer festival with ensuing carnage.
from th remains of my programme I'll nominate
Quantock Nightjar 3.9%
packed with flavour and well balanced...
Its means someone in a white coat pushed a button somewhere to start the machinery to brew the beer :sick:
Yep, Beer duty escalator is scrapped, all other alcohol - wines spirits and cider increased by 2% above inflation (2.7% so 4.7%)
The main theme to draw is the lack of price rises. Trouble is this...
A visit to Bristol Beer Festival gives me an opportunity to partake for once:
Abbey Ales Somerset Ale 3.8%
Box Steam Tunnel Vision 4.2%
Dawkins Resolution IPA 5.3%
Milk Street The Usual 4.4%...
Its been interesting to note comment on Thornbridge from some of us recently saying its not been as good as usual - stems from Kelly Ryan (mentioned in the blog article) going back to New Zealand...
I had a look round on this the other day - as you say it is up to the pub to keep it up to date, mostly it seemed to list the permanent beers (as in the JDWs) with any info on guest ales missing. I...
