A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Clark's classic blonde
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
Two contenders, both excellent.
Oakham Bishops Farewell
BOTW Hop Back Summer Lightening
An excellent week for beer, both in choice and quality. Tried the following:
Phoenix - West Coast IPA.
Fullers - Wild River.
Allgates - Golden Aeld.
Fernandes - Simcoe.
Otley - O3 Boss.
Brew Co - Brewers Gold.
Great Heck - Golden Bull.
Truefitt - Ironopolis Stout.
Roosters - Welsummer.
Nethergate - Basing Park Blonde.
Roosters / Odells - The Accomplice.
Red Squirrel - Red Dawn MILD.
Cap House - Miners a Pint.
Cap House - Foxhunter.
Cap House - Miners Light.
Cap House - Ruby.
Rat - Red Rat.
Elland - Midsummers Night Porter.
On a quiet week, the Ironopolis or the Red Dawn would probably have won. However, the Accomplice was an absolutely stunning IPA. Not only BOTW, but my beer of the year so far.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
This was our last week in Cornwall and our beers were:
St Austell HSD
Moor Nor'hop
Skinners Spriggan Ale
Hop Kettle Hay Bale
Pot Belly Welland Truly
Penzance Brisons Bitter
Although I found the Skinners to be one of the best , must give BOTW to St Austell HSD.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
An old faithful made it to BOTW,Dark Star Hophead,a great session ale consumed with gusto during a great session in The Charles Lamb,Islington.An interesting pub with a gallic feel.
