    Kent:
    Sole pub beer of the week- Wantsum Single Green Hop Ernest 4.2%abv.I'm usually a bit wary of single hop beers, as the base beer seems to be rather one dimensional in order to show off the hop.As I hadn't seen any Kent Green Hop beers this season, and as I've enjoyed Ernest hops in the past,I tried it. OK, but have had better.

    Cross Bay Sunset
    Three Castles Stoned
    Ascot Gold Cup
    Peerless Langton Spin*
    Wantsum Black Prince
    Disruption Long Walk Thru Eden*
    Sherfield Southern Gold

    Some very nice beer , keg wins the day this week with BOTW Downlands Little Tiles excellent in The Ten Tun Tap House.

    Digbeth,Preston Bagot and Belgravia.

    Salopian -- Light Fantastic * (3PT)
    Siren -- Soundwave IPA * (keg)
    St Austell (for Brunning & Price) -- Traditional
    Timothy Taylor -- Boltmaker *
    Church House --IPA (keg)
    Harvey's -- Sussex Best
    Adnam's -- Ghost Ship *
    Greene King -- IPA


    BOTW goes to Salopian Light Fantastic,a perfect session ale in the very friendly Spotted Dog

    Next week looking barren.

    A bit of overlap with Mr. F's list:

    Salopian Light Fantastic
    Siren Soundwave IPA* (keg)
    Timothy Taylor Boltmaker *
    Church House IPA* (keg)
    Blue Monkey Infinity*
    Oakham Bishops Farewell*

    Thoroughly enjoyed the Infinity which, as ever, whistled through the 3 pint test but BOTW goes to Timothy Taylor Boltmaker which I rarely encounter and which really hit the spot.

    Could be better;

    Bad Seed - Session IPA
    Bristol Beer Factory - 12 Apostles
    Theakston - Best Bitter
    Marstons - Razorback
    Hambleton - Nightmare Porter
    Saltaire - Triple Chocoholic
    Rat - White Rat
    Camerons - Motorhead Roadcrew
    Elgood - Plum Porter
    Northern Lights - Blonde

    I suppose having lost count of how many pints of it I had last week BOTW is Hambleton - Nightmare Porter (again), taken in what appears to have become my new local.

    Mixed bag of new beers order online and a couple of beers out and about:

    Fuller's London Pride (cask, premium ale) (4.1%)
    Tiny Rebel Stay Puft (can, marshmallow porter) (5.2%)
    Mad Squirrel Big Sea (keg, West Coast IPA) (5.5%)
    Wiper & True Narrow Sea (can, saison) (5.6%)
    Vocation x Marble Hop, Skip & Juice (can, pale ale)(5.7%)
    Firestone Walker Mind Haze (can, IPA) (6.2%)
    Salt n Pomona Island Shoop (can, NE IPA) (6.4%)
    Deya Meet Me in the City (can, IPA) (6.5%)
    Ridgeside Muffin Compares 2 U (can, milk stout) (6.5%)
    Pomona Island When People Wore Pyjamas and Lived Life Slow (can, IPA) (6.8%)

    Great to encounter a dark beer again, of which I rhapsodised about here, so BOTW goes to:

    Ridgeside Muffin Compares 2 U
