Hobsons Mild 3.2 at the Moderation in Reading was cracking on Sunday during the quiz...
Hopefully a few more to come this week especially as I am off to the Egham USC beer fest on Thursday...looking forward to Ascot's Triple Trouble, Blackaddlers Lemme Oat! and the potential star of the fest in Pitstops Celebration - a Belgian Chocolate Stout.
mmm...
Anything by Woodforde's! Lovely beers, but the Nog is future of dark beers! Many a pint quaffed during my Norfolk sojourn.
Also, had a couple of cracking pints of Moorhouse's Black Cat in the Nottingham Arms in Tewkesbury yesterday. Another quality dark beer!
A day in Dundee and Arbroath yesterday and if I liked lime it would be Caledonian Mexican Bandit which really screwed my taste buds up it was so limey.
As I don't like lime, my BOTW is Wood Wonderful 4.8%
Not doing anymore this week Gill?Originally Posted by gillhalfpint
Beer of the week so far is the first pint I had in the Baum last night after 2 weeks on the dreaded fizz.
As it happens it was Greenfield Summer Ice, but it wouldn't have mattered what it was really.
A couple of pints of Kelham Island Pale Rider followed.
Just to be ironic I finished off with a cask lager, Hawkshead Lakeland Lager, pretty good it was as well.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Was up in Aberystwyth on Saturday and drank Purple Moose at the Ship & Castle - Cwrw Eryri...yum. Would have won any other week.Hobsons Mild 3.2 at the Moderation in Reading was cracking on Sunday during the quiz...

However, the Pitstop Celebration was indeed fabulous at the Egham USC so I declare it my BotW, simply because it will never be brewed again (so we're told!)

This Purple Moose Cwrw Eryri / Snowdonia ale is getting about a bit. I also had a pint of it on Saturday in Farnborough - that's 3 people who have mentioned it this week in 3 totally different locations.
A slightly above-average week beer-wise, with 12 fairly decent pints guzzled over a 3-day period. Suffice to say, Doom Bar shall not be my beer-of-the-week.
Sharp's Doom Bar x 3
Courage Best x 1 - a commoner, but a beer I rarely seem to drink.
Itchen Valley Winchester Ale x 1
Bombardier x 1
Spitfire x 4
Brians Best Bitter x 2 - I think for the first time, actually
Newkie Brown Ale x 2
Grolsch [Bottle] x 1
Vodka & Coke x lord knows
BOTW: Itchen Valley Winchester Ale
Three more for the Mŵs Piws - that's good going (but look out for the Glaslyn Ale which is my preference to the Cwrw Eryri / Snowdonia Ale ).
