Had a quality pub crawl this weekend involving Leeds, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Manchester. The competition is strong. Here are the contenders:
Kirkstall - North Prototype (North Bar, Leeds)
Brasserie de la Senne - Zinne bir/Brussels people ale (North Bar, Leeds)
Buxton - Moor Top (Friends of Ham, Leeds)
Moorhouses - Blond Witch (West Riding Refreshment Room, Dewsbury)
Abbeydale - Moonshine (Kings Head, Huddersfield)
Magic Rock - Curious (Port St Beer House, Ancoats, Manchester)
Caveman - Citra (Smithfield Hotel, N/4, Manchester)
The winner is
Abbeydale - Moonshine (Kings Head, Huddersfield). It was so good it dissuaded me from going to the Grove..
EDIT: It seems the Caveman Brewery is in Kent and this was their first brew, "Our first beer. A hoppy pale ale with a lot of citrus aroma from US Citra hops. A steady session beer for summer days. Available on cask in fined or unfined form". How on earth did it end up at the Smithfield in a quaint corner of Manchester...
