Beer of the Week (w/e 13th July 2014)

[Mobyduck]

Tiny list this week,
Darkstar Hophead 3.8%
Wells & Youngs Hummingdird 4.2%
Dorking Red India Ale 5%
West Berks Isis Pilsner 4.9%
All were good and I don't want to keep nominating the same beer but the Hophead was by far the best. BOTW.

Quality, not quantity.
Canterbury Ales-The Wife of Bath's Ale 3.8%abv. I'd been keen to try this beer for ages, as it has had good reports in Kent.Ardent, marmaladey hops with a long dry finish, in excellent condition.Only the second 5 star beer this year.

marble -primus
hopcraft-to much to answer for
fine -mothership
tiny rebel-5 years of cask

Hammertons -apa great beer from this new London (Islington)also had a stout from them a couple of weeks ago that was spot on
