A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Just finished for the week so here we go:
Durham - Magus
Ilkley - Pale
Roosters - Yankee
Roosters - Baby Faced Assassin
Leffe - Bruin
Augustiner - Helles
Thornbridge - Bison
Tiny Rebel - Dutty (too much bloody Mosaic)
Brewdog - Clockwork Tangerine
Siren - Soundwave IPA
Siren - Broken Dream
Augustiner - Edelstoff
Brew York - Galaga
Brew York - Imperial Tonkoko
All bottles and cans as I can't get to a town with decent pubs. BOTW obviously Brew York Imperial Tonkoko with Edelstoff a very close second. Hopefully I can swap a Dutty for a Beavertown Gammaray with my son and not have to suffer bloody Mosaic again.
Fleeting outdoor visit to a pub afforded my cask BOTW:
Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter 4%abv. I've enjoyed the canned esoterica I've been drinking this past few months, but cask beer swings it (nearly) every time.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Ossett - Yorkshire Blonde. Three sunk in quick order in Thomas Sheraton Wethers. A nice change from 8% IPAs..
A couple of pub visits and the remains of a bottle delivery.
Titanic -- Anchor (b)
Titanic -- Captain Smiths Bitter (b)
Hornes -- Triple Goat IPA
Hornes -- Triple Goat Pale
Timothy Taylor -- Landlord (>3PT)
Hirsch -- Hefe Weisse (b)
Titanic -- Stout (b)
BOTW goes to Timothy Taylor Landlord liberally consumed at The Blue Anchor.Served in a plastic mug,southern style without a tight sparkler but that didn't matter as it was such a delight to get back to a Friday evening session with friends,lots of banter and a great sunset over the River Thames.
Next week boat painting again in the quiet Warwickshire countryside with a couple of local pubs to have a crack at.

Binghams Vanilla Stout
Windsor & Eton Knights Of The Garter
Wantsum Yellow Tail
Wantsum Hurricane
North Cotswolds Green Man IPA

The Vanilla Stout was good but in the same house the Windsor & Eton Knights Of The Garter was spot on and BOTW.
