Good start to the drinking last night in The Baum with two very different beers making a bid for BOTW.

Blue Monkey Infinity, light, hoppy and very refreshing.
Greenfield Terry's Mild, dark, smooth and chocolatey.

A bit of a let down though was Skinners Ginger Tosser, thin, weedy and not tasting of ginger.

and not tasting of ginger.

Sounds like a plus point to me!

[Spinko]

Wish I could report all the good pints I've had in Sheffield but I'm afraid my memory is going to play trickd after 30+ ones so here's ones I actually remembee.

Thornbridge - Wild Swan )Sheffield Tap)
Thornbridge - Jaipur (keg) (Sheffield, Dada, Bath Hotel)
Kelham Island - Pale Rider (Kelham Island Tavern)
Oakleaf - May Bee Mild (Sir Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield)
Oakham - Citra (Red Deer, Sheffield)

I've had many more but unfortunatrly can't remember too many of them, the best was definitely the Citra so once again Oakham have the award!

Oakham - Citra

[Millay]

It could have been the Harveys Sussex Best that I've had a fair bit of this week. Or it could have been the bottle of Harveys 9% Imperial Extra Double Stout that I'm drinking right now. But it is going to be Moles Elmo's Fire after five quick pints at the Gardeners Arms last night. Wonderful stuff.

[Real Ale Ray]

It will have to be Everards Sunchaser a nice thirstquencher

[oldboots]

I'm going for an Old Leg Over this week ....probably the best in the Daleside draught range and on great form in Hales Bar this week. (the bottled Morocco ale is their best beer)

In Scotland for the next week so next week's BOTW could be Tennants Laaga.

Almost inevitably, a much quieter week than last week's catharsis. Some good beers though. Tried this week:

Navigation - Pale Ale.
Ilkley - Stout Mary.
Fernandes - Double Six Stout.
Brewsters - Hop A Doodle Do.
Acorn - Lightness.
Milton - Nero.
Crouch Vale - Yakima Gold.
Fernandes - Columbus.
Springhead - The Leveller.
Fernandes - Cascade.
Batemans - Salem Porter.

An honorable mention for the Stout Mary, but the Yakima Gold was on fine form at the Bull & Fairhouse.

None of that language here, lad.

Nothing came close to beating the Blue Monkey Infinity over the weekend, so that's my BOTW.
