A pub is for life not just for Christmas
So my first completely publess week in over 40 years gave me the following...
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA (Bottle)
Northern Monk Rapscallion (Can)
BrewDog Elvis Juice (B)
BrewDog Punk IPA (B)
Vocation Life & Death (C)
Marstons Owd Rodger (B)
Lagunitas IPA
A compact list but several of most of them. I only tried The Owd Rodger out of curiosity not having had it since the late 70s or early 80s so no idea how authentic the modern version is in taste, far to sweet for me though and took a while to get through the 500ml bottle. BOTW goes to the Jaipur, a modern classic in whatever format it comes in.

I'm not doing a list but the Brewdog Roaster Coaster reappeared in Tesco and is my BOTW.
I'm tempted to order three cases of cans from Five Points but uncertainty over when my op might happen is stopping me.
Quality week of cans and bottles:
Marble Lagonda IPA
Marble Earl Grey IPA*
Marble Berimbolo*
Marble Barley Wine*
Marble Hopolata West Cost IPA*
Marble Uppe Hela Natten
Northern Monk New World IPA*
Northern Monk Heathen IPA*
Northern Monk Newer World IPA*
Thornbridge Pink Grapefruit Halcyon*
Oakham Citra IPA
Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropicana*
Blue Monkey Infinity IPA
Most of those unstarred are probably down to the lack of freshness.
Run out of loo rolls, drunk all the bleach and the cupboard is bare of hand sanitizer but the beer shelf is groaning. Marble and Northern Monk seem intent on continuing to brew so, as soon as there's space in another day or two, I'll be doing my level best to support them.
BOTW Northen Monk Heathen IPA. A delicious, gently fruity, 7.2% New England IPA.

BOTW goes to Vocation Life & Death ,and I enjoyed all the others.Must get to Hebden Bridge when this is all over and do some serious Vocation research.
Next week hoping on line beer supplies arrive,otherwise limited top up opportunities at Tesco may lead to more wine consumption.
