    Muirhouse - Magnum Mild.*
    Morton Collins - Wintersett Gold.
    Great Heck - Treasure IPA
    Tring - Moongazing.*

    Both the mild and the Moongazing were excellent. I don't see many Tring beers in my neck of the woods, but I was impressed with this ruby ale featuring Citra and Chinook hops.

    Mumbles Hop Kick
    XT 2 (Pale)*
    Abbeydale Deception*
    Oakham Bishops Farewell*

    A toss up between the XT2 and BOTW Abbeydale Deception. I thoroughly enjoyed the Deception which just had that bit extra depth of flavour. Both very welcome on a hot day.

    A visit to the Scottish Borders and a day in West Dorset and East Devon provided this :-

    Palmers Copper Ale 3.7%
    Box Steam Summer Buzz 3.8%
    Black Sheep Best Bitter 3.8%
    Broughton Hippopotamus IPA 3.8%
    Knops East Coast Pale 3.8%
    Dorset Brewing Citrus Maximus 4.0%
    Jennings Cumberland Ale 4.0%
    Broughton Dark 'N' Cloudy 4.4%
    Palmers Dorset Gold 4.5%
    Knops Musselburgh Broke 4.5%
    Wolf Woild Moild 4.8%
    Stewart Black IPA (Bottle) 5.0%
    Edinbrew Industrial 5.0%
    Stewart Celtman 5.0%
    Vibrant Forest Mosaic 5.0%
    Palmers 200 5.0%
    Kelham Island Pale Rider 5.2%
    Oakham Green Devil (Bottle) 6.0%
    Stewart First World Problems (Bottle) 6.2%
    Stewart Cauld Reekie (Bottle) 6.2%
    Stewart Radical Road (Bottle) 6.4%
    Stewart Radical Road (Keg) 6.4%


    The winner is the Stewart Radical Road either keg or bottled. The cask in the Borders was pretty dismal all round.
    It was nice to visit a couple of Palmers pubs after a gap of at least twenty five years. Although their beers are still old school they were vastly better and more diverse than I remembered.

    Goacher's Fine Light Ale 3.7%abv. Not quite as marmaladey as perhaps it could be,but very fresh and full of the joys.Taken at Black Dog

    Despite some great beer on the PuG Crawl, this one definitely passed the three pint test Tollgate - Ashby Pale in Tap at no 76
