    Best week for quite a while:

    Oakham Bishops Farewell*
    Hop Back Summer Lightening*
    TT Landlord
    York Centurions Ghost*
    Yorkshire Heart Get Pithed*
    Cloudwater Extra Special Bitter*
    Wilde Child Dystopian Society*
    Northern Monk Neapolitan Ice Cream Pale (keg)*
    Northern Monk Heathen IPA (keg)*
    Deya Steady Rolling Man (keg)*
    Ashover The Fabrick*
    Thornbridge Tapit*
    Roosters Yankee
    Salopian Firkin Freezin

    Tough choice with the Fabrick, Tapit and Get Pithed all going down very well.

    BOTW Cloudwater Extra Special Bitter. Just as described as an amber 5.5% bitter. Long may they brew cask beer.

    Good week for me, with a flying visit to Otley, on Friday and my favourite Sunday afternoon crawl.


    Titanic - Black Ice.*
    Saltaire - Titus.
    Brew York - Brew York.*
    Abbeydale - Black Mass.
    Great Newsome - Holderness Dark.
    Oakham - Citra.*
    Titanic - Plum Porter.*
    Burton Bridge - Damson Porter.*
    Salt - Batik.
    Tigertops - Haka Hop.
    Moor - Revival.
    Five Towns - Candidate.
    North Riding - Citra.*
    Sandiway - Endo.
    Mallinsons - Calypso.
    Fernandes - Black Voodoo.
    Rat - King Rat.
    Fernandes - Summit.
    Mallinsons - Danger: Hops!

    Some strong contenders, but the Brew York, Brew York - a very tasty APA, quickly soothed the troubled brow after three hours on various buses. Sampled in one of my favourite pubs - The Old Cock, Otley.

    Farr Brew - Our Most Potent Porter
    Aylesbury Brewhouse - Pulsar
    Rudgate - Bitter Sweet
    St Austell - Tribute
    Otter - Otter Ale
    Titanic - Black Ice

    BotW goes to the Jurassic Dark, an interesting and tasty dark wheat beer.
