Pre-lockdown list:
Quantock Wills Neck
Marston's Pedigree
Yorkshire Heart Blackheart Stout*
Purity Gold
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Salopian Golden Thread*
Enjoyed the Golden Thread but BOTW goes to Yorkshire Heart Blackheart Stout which went down well on a chilly with the added bonus of being a new brewery to me.
Already missing cask beer.

Drink drink, whoever you may be,
we are the drunk and disorderly,
and we’ll drink more beer wherever we may be,
and we’ll meet you all in a pub said he.

"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Didn't get to the pub before LD2, and we should have been in North Yorkshire now, so I'm grumpier than usual.From cans:
Good Things Brewing:
Into the Pines 7.4%abv West Coast IPA. Heavyweight.
First Tracks 3.2%abv Session Pale Stone fruit. Hazy.
Cellar Head Amitola 4.2%abv APA. Tropical fruit,with a decent degree of bitterness.
Amitola is rapidly becoming a beer of choice for me, but I was really impressed with the character of the lighter First Tracks, my BOTW. Next week, two new'uns from Good Things.
