Dull week with just old favourite BOTW Oakham Bishops Farewell featuring. A top quality fresh barrel saw the 3 pint test demolished.

Some overlap with the above:

Tiny Rebel 93 til Infinity
Neepsend Avalou*
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA*
Trinity Brewing All Because of Captain Wow*
Purple Moose Glaslyn Ale
Blue Monkey Chocolate...

Quality this week mainly courtesy of the Seven Stars:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Holdens Golden Glow*
Timothy Taylor Dark Mild*
Brunswick ESP The Ghan*

All good and all deserving of BOTW most...

Thank Ian, that's useful and I didn't know about it.

I am following plenty but no emails. Perhaps I should view that as an incentive to get reviewing again and following everything newly done.

I followed every pub I reviewed and haven't had a notification for years. One of the reasons my incentive to review has diminished but only one.

Meant to contact Dave about it but never got...

Better week with Coventry featuring heavily:

Pomona Island Poor Moon

Meagre pickings compared to the North Western lists:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Lacons Legacy*

BOTW Lacons Legacy. A bitter, refreshing, 4.4% pale.

Limited this week with Abbeydale Moonshine making a worthy BOTW.

No cask this week as I couldn't find any in France:

Lagunitas Session IPA k
Affligem k *
Leffe 0.0 b (in error)
Eurofizz (unidentified)
Polar Monkeys IPA k *
White Rabbit IPA k *
Sainte Cru...

Bad cold maybe.

Belgian and served in a pint sized cocktail glass but beggars can’t be choosers.

BOTW Affligem. The best of a cold and fizzy bunch.

Good list. 10 for me and unlikely to add to that in the future.

Very limited this week with just Oakham Bishops Farewell on cask. Very good as ever.

Hence, BOTW goes to Marble Cubbio Damage from a can. Still superb nontheless.

Quality not quantity (of choice):

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*
Adnams Ghost Ship*
Woodforde's Nelson*

Thoroughly enjoyed all these but BOTW goes to Woodforde's Nelson...

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...

Speak!!

Saw they had a Marble tap takeover. Very envious, hope you enjoyed it fully.

BOTW Blue Monkey Infinity + 1. An gem of a beer which saw rather more than 3 pints disappearing.:nishelypished:

Not sure it’s Coventry’s first micropub. Beer Gonzo may lay claim to that although it is beyond the inner ring road, as much is in Cov.

A welcome addition to Cov’s drinking choices nonetheless and...

Enjoyed a bit of time at The White Horse which has significantly improved since my 2010 review. Should update it really.

Bit of variety:

TT Landlord
Green Duck Dakota*
Purity Longhorn IPA (keg)
Everards Old Original*
Ossett Excelsius*

Really enjoyed the Dakota but it was pipped by BOTW Ossett Excelsius. A...

Limited week with just BOTW Oakham Bishops Farewell featuring. But, as with the skipper, it was very good.
