    Haven't seen that anywhere down here, hoping the Nags Head in Reading would have some but none currently on their cellar list as far I can see.

    Not much of a list this week but high in ABV


    Holden's Black Country Bitter 3.8%
    Vibrant Forest Six Bells (Rebadged Flying Saucer?) 4.3%
    Hop Back Summer Lightning 5.0%
    Kent Brewer's Reserve 5.0%
    Truman's Captain Lockwood 5.0%
    Dorset Durdle Door 5.0%
    Holden's Special 5.1%
    Derby Quintessential 5.8%
    Five Points Hook Island Red 6.0%
    Black Horse Nicholas De Luda 6.0%
    Vibrant Forest Kaleidoscope (keg) 6.5%
    Holden's Old Ale 7.2%

    It's a choice between the Holden's Old and the Kent Brewer's Reserve but the one from my favourite Kent brewery gets it. It was £3.51 (with CAMRA discount) in the local Bell.


    BOTW Kent Brewer's Reserve
