A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Mile Tree Strawberry Blonde 5.5% superb.
We are on the caravan site where the brewery is, and it was so fantastic we got a 4 pint container of it. The bottle conditioned version is 4.5% but we will be taking them home.
Don't think I will get anything better this week.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.

oakham-citra
oakham -green devil ipa
brains -british summer
w+ eton -parklife

oakham -twenty years 5.8 and as usual full of hops.
Cross Bay - Spectrum
This week:
Flowerpots Goodens Gold
Andwell Red IPA
Copper Dragon Golden Pippin
Gales Seafarers, HSB
Oakham Bishops Farewell
Not a bad selection at all and I'd forgotten quite how good Golden Pippin is. BOTW was Flowerpots Goodens Gold, pale, hoppy and delicious at 4.8%. A good beer from the south shock!

Very quiet week for me, with just one beer tried. However, the Tour de Yorkshire Dales, brewed by the Yorkshire Dales Brew Co, was in superb nick at the George Inn, Hubberholme. After a good walk in the surrounding Wharfedale countryside, it really hit the spot.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Despite a couple of days in Sheffield last week my BOTW wasn't tried there although it was brewed there.
Kelham Island King Of The Rocket Men it was the top selling seasonal last year, so they've brewed it again this year.
That was a very good decision as it was excellent when tried in The Baum.
