Only 4/10 for me,
Royal Oak, Borough,pretty ordinary pub,but with it being a Harveys tied house,i had to do it.
Cambridge Blue, Cambridge,ok and some decent real ales
Old Green Tree,Bath,top notch pub,the best we did on our 18 pub Bath crawl
Canal House, Nottingham,i can remember when this pub opened,it was originally a free house,we always enjoy a last drink in here before getting the bus home.
I usually get a 7 or 8 out of 10 on the lists.
We are all equal,but some are more equal than others

None tried:have never tried mail order for beer, and our M and S is tiny, and I very much doubt if it will have the Adnams. Any way its too late for Christmas:I'm not venturing back into Ashford.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Just the Table Beer, for me. Have to say I was impressed and actually preferred it to some of its stronger siblings. I rather like the concept of mail order beer, but when you can get 4 X500ml bottles, of something reasonable, from Asda, (eg. Ilkley Black, Saltaire Cascade) for £5, for me it's a financial no-brainer. How some of these online businesses stay afloat, I've no idea.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
I've had Adnam's Jester on cask. With some of those prices I'm not likely to be ever trying most of them.
Just the Rodenbach Grand Cru for me, not to every ones taste but I love it. I got it from Beerhawk as well as they're local.
All Innes & Gunn beers are disgusting. Mikkeller can be good but are over rated, likewise Wild Beer. Kernal I like as well but not their prices. Not tried any Weird Beard, Howling Hops or Brew by Numbers.
My other Christmas beers in the same box from Beerhawk,
Harveys Imperial Russian Stout
Nogne O IPA
Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA
Westmalle 8
Maradsous 10
Harviestoun Old Engine Oil (cos there was no Ola Dubh)
St Bernardus Prior 8
Delerium Tremens Christmas
Durham White Stout
Harrogate Pine Woods
Five definites for me and possibly BBNO--01-01.The pictured bottle shows 01-10 but I am sure I had their first saison(didn't like it ) I hate the way they number the beers as they are not memorable not like a named beer.Had the kernel,wierd beard ,wild beer,adnams and one of my favourite beers Rodenbach.The landlord of the Magpie and Crown Brentford used to get 4 barrels of this around Christmas time each year when it was my local.Last drink of the night, then okay maybe just one more,definitely my last one seem to happen regularly for me. Very rare beer on draught.

Just the one for me, Bull and Last, maybe its the walking bit that puts me off.
