    No cask ale for me last week as I was in Ciutadella.

    Becks at the airport, San Miguel & Estrella in Ciutadella were the only draught beers I had.

    However Grahame Pearce Sant Climent Lager was a bottle served in C'an Lluis one of our favourite restaurants in Ciutadella (the roasted kid leg is superb).

    Brewed by the Es Molí De Foc Cerveseria in honour of Grahame who passed away recently.

    Only 4.2% and full of flavour the bottle says "This beer is a tribute to Grahame, his humor, his friendship and his good life and drink"

    A nice idea, I think I'll add it to my Will as a wishlist for one of the brewers I know to brew a beer for me.

    Mind you they'd probably get Green Mill to brew the original version of our Old Git again.

    Another poor week variety wise
    Darkstar Hophead
    Darkstar American Pale Ale
    Greene King St Edmunds (I should have known better and just had a Coke)

    BOTW has to be Darkstar American Pale Ale

    Things will look up soon with a trip up London next Saturday followed by the Rugby trip the Friday after.

    Harvey's-Sussex Best Bitter 4abv.Unimpeacheable.
    Timothy Taylor-Golden Best 3.5%abv.Excellent session beer, a bit hop forward I thought, but none the worse for it.The only MILD seen this May. My BOTW.

    Just 3 tried on cask:

    Oakham Gangsta
    Oakham Bishops Farewell
    Hop Back Summer Lightening

    What the week lacked in variety was made up for in quality.

    BOTW Hop Back - Summer Lightening

    A very heavy week for me based around a college reunion, in London.

    Fullers - ESB.
    Trumans - Swift.
    London Fields - Hackney Hopster.
    Fyne - Maverick.
    Quantum - American Light.
    Fyne - Blooming Beer.*
    Hawkshead - Brodies Prime.
    Castle Rock - Harvest Pale.
    Butcombe - Rare Breed.
    McMullen - Nags Head Ale.
    St Austell - Tribute.
    White Horse - Wayland Smithy.
    Goody - Good Heavens.
    Binghams - Twyford Tipple.
    Sambrooks - Pumphouse.
    Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter.
    Butcombe - Haka.*
    Great Heck - Shankar IPA.*
    Portobello - Star.
    Andwell - King John.
    Cottage -Junga.*
    Fullers - Fools Gold.
    Thwaites - Wainwright.
    Windsor & Eton - Windsor Knot.

    Easy winner was the powerfully hopped IPA / APA from Great Heck. As I drink in their brewery tap, the Bull & Fairhouse, in Wakefield on a regular basis, I find it quite ironic to be nominating a beer of theirs drunk in The Swan, Hammersmith! Still, it was the easy winner. Biggest surprise of the week was a tasty beer from Cottage. Junga is a Polish hop, apparently.
