Short lists are unfortunately par for the course at the moment,
Navigation Rebel
Castle Rock Harvest Pale
Ossett Yorkshire Blonde
Slaters 1 Hop
Tollgate Old Rasputin
Great Heck Proverbs 31:7

All of these were good, but I have to repeat last weeks BOTW taken in the same place just 30 hours or so later , Navigation Rebel, lovely beer.

My knees have been giving me grief this week which restricted play to three local JDWs :-


Reunion Opening Gambit 3.8%
ELB Fox Session Pale 4.1%
Burton Bridge Porter 4.5%
ELB Nightwatchman 4.5%
ELB Cowcatcher 4.8%
Sambrook's Powerhouse Porter 4.9%
Brewdog Punk IPA (keg) 5.4%


I didn't think the keg Punk was as good as the slightly stronger cans. The easy winner is the ELB Cowcatcher for £2.15 in the Wanstead George. I did get to try some Festival gins and the Aber Falls one was the best.


BOTW ELB Cowcatcher
