Beer of the Week (w/e 17th May 2020)
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Missing cask:
Marble Lagonda IPA*
Northern Monk New World IPA*
Vocation Twisted Sour
Northern Monk Rapscallion*
Vocation Smash & Grab*
Marble Trials #2 Imperial IPA*
Oakham Citra*
Marble Stout
Vocation/Marble Hop Skip & Juice*
Northern Monk Heathen IPA*
A good selection supplemented by a Vocation delivery which was inspired by Spinko and his admiration for Smash & Grab - thank you.
The Smash & Grab may well be a contender next week but this week BOTW goes to Marble Lagonda IPA. A tried and trusted old favourite which turns the three pint (can) test on it's head with the challenge being whether you can limit yourself to three. I failed miserably fortunately and if I was only allowed one beer during this pub-free period then this would be it.

Thornbridge Green Mountain

Vocation Love & Hate

Salt IKAT
Oakham Citra
Black Sheep Pineapple Milkshake

All at the least very pleasant, some very good , BOTW this week is Salt IKAT 8.0% and full of juicy tropical flavour.

Wiper & True -- Kaleidoscope Pale (c)
Titanic -- Cappuccino Stout (b)
Harbour -- Panda Eyes (b)
BrewDog -- Elvis Juice (c)
No knockout IPA's in that list ,as I deserve a rest.Decent variety with BOTW going to Titanic Chocolate & Vanilla Stout,just breasting the Plum Porter.Both benefit from a typical Titanic dry and bitter finish which just begs another.
Next week more of the same.

I don't really like ordering stuff in I might not like. Then again, I don't like ordering 12 different cans and having taste buds all over the place.
So it's Vocation Smash and Grab again. I still have about 60 cans knocking around so good job I'm not going off it.
