[Oggwyn Trench]

Should be a good week , the Station beer festival starts on Friday , so lots of Pictish , Salamander and Kelham Island to sample

Well a reasonable start to the week on Tuesday.

A couple of pints of Phoenix White Tornado followed by a pint I simply didn't like Corvedale Molly Morgan.

Then a pint of Slaters Magic Monkey Mild followed by two pints of the excellent Elland Born To Be Mild. Great name and a great beer.

Sadly no Beer this week as Im working 10 Days on Duty till Sunday night. So It Thames Finest only. I will Make up for it next week.

Can I nominate a foreign beer?

This week I acheived a long-standing ambition and went to see the Oberammergau Passion Play. I stayed in the Hotel Maximilian in Oberammergau which not only has excellent food, it brews its own beer in the basement. So, a hotel, restaurant and brewery which also does fantastic food and has gorgeous, attentive female staff - what could be better?

So, if acceptable, my botw is Maxbrau Helles, one of the best Bavarian beers I've ever tasted, and if PuG does ever stat listing overseas pubs, Maximilian's will definitely be getting a 10/10 out of me if it keeps upt the standard.

Foreign beer is fine. Nothing against foreign pubs really, the only reason we don't set them up on the main site tomorrow is the sheer quantity of technical hurdles involved, we are gradually knocking them down during the current rewrite though.

Only one MILD drunk this last week of MILD May, Thwaites, not bad but not good enough for beer of the week. Otherwise a fairly unexciting week of Copper Dragon and Black Sheep until I found Skipton's other brewery - Dark Horse and their Maypole a hoppy golden ale but subtle and very pleasant and drinkable.

No BOTW.. I simply don't have time for taste new ales.. All I drank this week was boring Carlings, Fosters, Ciders and few foreign beers name escapes me..

Late entry.I just managed too get some in last night as the spoons was open when I finished at 23.00 till 01.30 so I had
2 Pints of Titanic White Star
2 Pints of York Centurions Ghost Ale
2 Pints of Lancaster Red Lancaster Brewery

My Favourite this week was the York Centurions Ghost Ale.
