[london calling]

An unusual week for me with several beers from a local beer festival.


Bath Forest Hare 3.8%
Geeves No. 1 3.8%
Pixie Spring Tidy Bitter 4.1%
Wood Street Devil's Walking Stick 4.2%
Nelson Powder Monkey 4.2%
Clouded Mind's Luppol 4.2%
Abbeydale Moonshine 4.3%
Coach House Christmas Cracker 4.3%
Caledonian / Stone Session IPA 4.4%
Brew Company Yellow Rose 4.5%
Burton Bridge Knot Brown Ale 4.8%
Brentwood Weald Porter 4.9%
Abbeydale Horrible Skellington 4.9%
Imperial Oh Mr Porter 5.0%
Stonehenge Old Smokey 5.0%
Brodie's Old Street Pale 5.0%
Hawkshead Cumbrian Five Hop 5.0%
Double Top Madhouse Porter 5.2%
Hopcraft Ta Moko Black IPA 5.5%
Imperial FSB 5.6%
Marston's Old Empire 5.7%
Adnams / Pretty Things Jack D'Or IPA 6.0%
Dark Star Imperial Stout 10.5%

It boils down to a choice between the Brentwood Weald Porter and the Hopcraft Ta Moko Black IPA. The winner is the Ta Moko Black IPA at £2.60 in the Leyton King William IV. Their sister company's Pixie Spring Tidy Bitter was an outstanding boring brown bitter.
