Oops, told you I need a day off.

Hophead, at risk of repetition:unimpeachable for a summer's day.

Roosters - Seventh Inning Stretch
Abbeydale Wellesley. The usual Abbeydale light & hoppy and decent for a session at 4%.
Unusually it's been brewed with UK Cascade hops.

I won't show you all my big list, ooer Mrs, suffice to say BOTW is Boggart Rum Porter
Another short list due to the Spoons cider fest. It was only saved from being pathetic by a day in Liverpool, :-
Bateman's Gold 3.9%
Peerless Triple Blond 4.0%
Liverpool Organic 24 Carat Gold 4.2%
Lytham Ice King 4.4%
Downton Bogus Buffalo 4.8%
Portobello American Pale Ale 4.8%
Peerless Storr 4.8%
Liverpool Craft American Red 5.0%*
Brodie's Californian 5.0%*
Burton Bridge Stairway To Heaven 5.0%
Peerless Project 366 5.0%*
Fernandes Black Voodoo 5.1%*
Phoenix Wobbly Bob 6.0%
It's a close contest between the starred ones but I'll go for the Peerless Project 366 a beer brewed with what sounds like a genetically modified hop. It was in excellent condition at £1.65 in the Liverpool JDW the Lime Kiln. I dare say the price probably made it taste a whole lot better!
Spoons cider of the week is Fynburys Rutland Cider.
BOTW Peerless Project 366
A good week for me managing a few in The Tabard, W4 after my daughter's graduation and a major session with 'oldboots' and ROBCamra, on Friday, in the 'Merrie City.'
Titanic - Steerage, Iceberg, Last Porter Call.
Plain - Arty Farty.
Old Mill - Traditional Mild.
Marstons - New World Pale.*
Acorn - Darkness.*
Yeovil - Lynx Wildcat.
Castle Rock - Black Gold.
Black Iris - Bleeding Heart.
Brass Castle - Bad Kitty.*
Salopian -The Bends.*
Elland - Pacifica.
Revolutions - Cocker.
Abbeydale - Deception.
Great Heck - Voodoo Mild.*
Butcombe - Great Grey Owl.
Fernandes - Ten Degrees.*
Rat - Rat Attack.
Cotleigh - Osprey.
All the starred beers would probably have won in a quiet week, but The Bends was a lovely 5.2% APA, another winner from a favourite brewery.
