A very enjoyable few days in Staffordshire and Notts with some great beer in outstanding pubs made this a very good week.Also some tip top Dark Star ales in The Harp which were close to BOTW but the truely outstanding beer was Blue Monkey 99 Red Baboons as trailed by Mr P.
Back in Nottingham this coming Friday where The Organ Grinder are having a Blue Monkey beer festival featuring a few of their occasional brews and all the regulars,likely to be dangeroushttp://www.bluemonkeybrewery.com/new...ival-beer-list

Will be in Notts on Sunday, so will have to look into the Organ Grinder - looks like some interesting beers. Thanks for that BFOriginally Posted by Bucking Fastard

Mr Fastard prompts me to join the thread....
The Hope's Extreme Beer Fest did pretty much what it said on the tin. Marble Draft and Bristol Brewers United ‘Smoked Porter’ came out tops for me - the latter shading it, but both just pipped by an excellent Dark Star American Pale Ale in the Harp. Better even than that, however, was brewery fresh Gilt Complex from Surrey Hills. This is their summer ale and is highly recommended if you encounter it. There was a mountain biking event in the area yesterday - respect to the riders that I encountered entering Denbies, none of them could conceivably have been any wetter or muddier.
Keeping breweries in business for more than 40() years
A close run thing for me this week. The Milkwood Dylan Thomas and Nethergate Old Growler were very good but my BoTW, largely because I drank so much of it, is Sadlers Thin Ice
I've just joined Alcoholics Anonymous - I still drink, just under a different name.
Had a fair few good beers this week, but few (if any) fantastic ones.
After a good session today I'll go for Vale brewery St Georges - a hefty 4.8% copper ale at the Nags; the two I had earlier were in fantastic nick and slipped down easily. Runner-up was West Berks Mr Chubbs Lunchtime at the Foresters earlier
Het Anker Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Kaiser 2008. Beat the Duvel Triple Hop. Good job the 75cl bottle pries were shared.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
Sadly brought back only as a special for April but showing Roosters is in safe hands, BOTW is Roosters Leghorn
4 main contenders this week - the new Black Sheep All Creatures at my local Ivy Leaf, Kent Spring Wheat at my local 'Spoons, By The Horns Bobby on the Wheat (the Wheat seems to be recurring theme here) at the magnificent Southampton Arms and the one to top them all, Redemption Big Chief at the Bull & Last in Dartmouth Park and at £4.50 a pint it bloody well should be BotW!
