A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Abbeydale - daily bread
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
A poor week so far after last weeks extravaganza ,at the moment RCH Hewish IPA leads the way ,ok but nothing to get to excited about, working all weekend so hoping something decent turns up in the local sat or sun evening.

Rest of the week, Sharps Doom Bar, St Austell Proper Job, Tribute and HSD, Coastal Poseidon, Potbelly Crazy Daze. Cornish Crown St Michael's Bitter.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
Some excellent beers tried this week, Mallinsons, Roosters, Nook and Wensleydale among the best but BOTW was from a newish brewery located down near Wetherby - Collingham Journeyman
Just the three:
Oakham Bishops Farewell
Purity UBU
Potbelly A Limp Pig Gold
Bishops excellent as ever but BOTW was Potbelly A Limp Pig Gold, odd name, quaffable ale.
Very quiet week for me, only sampling the four:
Glentworth - Little Cracker.
Abbeydale - Absolution.
Magic Rock - High Wire.
Acorn - Gorlovka.
Very difficult to choose between the latter two, but having had a couple of disappointing High Wire's recently, it was great to see it bang on form again.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Quite a few to choose from thanks to a mini crawl round Soho at the weekend. Disappointment of the week was Fyne Lismore Blonde - I'm a big fan of Fyne Ales but this one wasn't up to much. Much better were Triple fff Pressed Rat and Warthog, Mallinsons The Beach Is Back, Ascot Anastasia Exile Stout and XT Dark Roast, but none of these matched the excellent Oakham Citra - one of 5 Oakham beers available in the George, Croydon earlier this week.
A quick mention also for Fuller's newest beer - Wild River - a double hopped American Pale Ale. Not Fuller's most accomplished beer, but surely their most experimental. Interested to see what else they've got up their sleeves.
