    Oggy, if I was drinking ouzo in half pints, I don't think I'd care whether I'd had a decent pint or not!

    It did come with half pint of iced water to dilute and a plate of spiced cucumber , olives and cheese , all for 2.50 euros .

    Didnt realise that there were so many different sorts of ouzo , i counted 30 in one shop , much smoother than the brands we get over here

    A good week for variety.Tried the following:

    East Coast: Hoppers No.8.
    Bob's Brewery: White Lion
    Ossett: Citra
    Phoenix: Thirsty Bob
    Hardknott: Light Cascade
    Loch Leven: Golden Goose
    Milestone: Crusader
    Angus Ales: Mashie Niblick
    Great Heck: Staggering Genius
    Milton: Nero
    Titanic: Captain Smith
    WharfeBank: Tether Blonde

    The Hardknott deserves an honourable mention, but the Milton Nero was a fabulous stout. It's well in the lead and my probable winner for this week, unless I can squeeze a couple in later today.

    A bit if a comedown this week after 2 weeks away. Had it not been for yet another short notice secret Squeeze gig at the Charlton's Anchor & Hope on Thursday I wouldn't even have made a pub until yesterday's local quiz night. A combination of World Cup footy and hot weather meant that a lot of Dartford's pubs were running a bit dry yesterday and choices were a bit limited so I will pick my BotW as Sambrook Wandle that I had with my pre-gig 'Spoons curry on Thursday in the Gate Clock at Greenwich. I have had a few pints of it before but it never really caught me as being anything special. Maybe the heat and the Beef Madras brought out the refreshing side of it that I had previously been unable to unearth.

    It's going to be one of those "Blonde" things but a very nice beer, Acorn Blonde from the outstanding brewery in Barnsley

    In complete contrast although it's still from Yorkshire. My BOTW is going to be Erebus from Summer Wine Brewery in Holmfirth. A 4.5% Dark Mild (so they claim) that's really a Porter.

    It was excellent on Friday in the Regal Moon in Rochdale.
    A pub is for life not just for Christmas

    As I suspected, it's my BOTW.
