Beer of the Week (w/e 10th March 2013)

[Thuck Phat]

This week:
TT Landlord
Old Empire IPA
Wadworths 6X
Everards Tiger
Oakham Bishops Farewell
Oakham Random Rabbit

All the well known ones, with the exception of the 6X, were very good and the Landlord, tried here, was one of the best I've had in the South. BOTW was Oakham Random Rabbit which was blonde, bitter and one of the driest beers I've had at 4.8%.

[Aqualung]

A fair number to chose from this weel :-

Yeovil Glory 3.8%
Turner's East Sussex Bitter 3.9%
Wickwar's Banker's Draft 4.0%
Long Man Old Man 4.3%
Welton's Black Water Snake 4.4%
Elgood's Thin Ice 4.7%
Lymestone Stone Cold 4.7%
Brodie's Old Street Pale 5.0%
Cotleigh Snowy 5.0%
Nethergate/Growler Umbel Magna 5.0%
Banks & Taylor SOS 5.0%
Kelham Island Pale Rider 5.2%
Brodie's Jamaican Stout 5.3%
Greene King Abbot Reserve 6.5%
Brodie's Cranberry IPA (keykeg) 7.0%
Brodie's Kiwi IPA (keykeg) 7.2%


The winner is an old favourite Umbel Magna which was tried in the Drum at Leyton for £2.40.

The Snowy and ones I've previously nominated as BOTW made it quite difficult to choose.

Had a few good ones in Sheffield this week - Sheffied Brewing Five Rivers, Tapped Treacle Stout and Cross Bay Winter Moon were all very nice, but BOTW goes to Raw Citra Pale - an excellent showcase for the Citra hop from one of my favourite breweries.

A trip around Chorlton-cum-Hardy on Friday gave me a very large list to choose from this week alongside a number of great beers tried in The Baum.

The winner is going to be First Chop AVA tried in The Beagle (on PuG but awaiting a name change).

Only 3.5% but very tasty and named after the brewers daughter who he says is also a hoppy blonde.
