Quieter week after last weeks excess

Blue Bee - Nectar Pale
Empire - Fastnet
Rudgate - Nordic Storm
Wentworth - Chocolate Chilli Stout
Rowton - Starlight
Harbour - Amber
Three Tuns - Jubilation

BOTW Rudgate - Nordic Storm

The Wentworth Choc chilli stout was a very good stout but had way to much chilli which killed the flavour like having a way too hot curry

[Thuck Phat]

From these 4:
Oakham Bishops Farewell and Inferno
Marstons Old Empire IPA
Purity Mad Goose

All these were good but BOTW is Oakham Inferno.

[Quinno]

The Nags Head had Windsor & Eton Kohinoor on during the Jubilee music quiz (Gilbey played a song from each year of the 50 on the pub's piano - our team Aztec CAMRA came 2nd ) so that's this week's easy winner. At least four pints went down amongst others...

[Bucking Fastard]

A poor week on the beer front,with another short visit to Bateman's country where XB seems to crop up just about everywhere.As a result BOTW was Sharp's Doom Bar,I know that's a pretty ordinary choice,but it was the best I could find.Consumed in The Mall,Woodhall Spa.

[Wittenden]

Beer tents week:
Old Dairy-Copper Top.A dark chestnut best bitter:farmyard,roasted root vegetables.
Old Dairy-Sun Top.A very pale ale:citrus-great for a summer's day.
Westerham-Jubilation. A showcase for nine Kent grown (and bred) hops.Savoury spiciness.Epic. My BOTW.

[Millay]

St Peters Ruby Red Ale for me.

Marble - Draft in the Old Mill Inn in Chinley in the Peak District was totally on form but was also in battle with..
a. n. other beer in the Angel Inn in the Northern Quarter in Manchester..
