I'll kick off with Wolf's Golden Jackal-I've had this a few times this summer, and find it a good quaffable session beer with a decent fruity background.

A bizarrely quiet week for this thread. Has everyone taken the pledge? Mind you, not much on the beer front for me until today. This week's choices:
Goffs 'Summer Knight'
Oldershaw 'Blonde Volupta'
Burton Bridge 'Burton Porter'
Bob's Brewing Co. 'Golden Harvest'
Bob's Brewing Co. 'Chardonnayle'.
Ulverston Brewing Co. 'Another Fine Mess'.
Great Heck 'Slaughterhouse Porter'
Brew Co. 'Slakers Pale Ale'
De Ranke 'Saison de Dottignies'
Fernandes 'Cascade'
Fernandes 'Chinook'.
Goffs 'White Knight'
Outlaw 'Irish Stout'
Undoubtedly between 'Another Fine Mess' and the Fernandes 'Chinook' - which wins by a whisker. The De Ranke wins a spot prize for most challenging beer of the week.

Today was the first day that truly felt like autumn was on the way. Still that's when Snecklifter, Riggwelter and Old Peculier 'et al' come into their own.Originally Posted by Alesonly

Yes I must Agree But then again I do prefer Dark strong Ales Porters & Stouts of 5% or over all year round.

Very quiet week for me , Mrs Trench had a minor op so i have been nursemaid over the last few days , only managed a couple of hours in the pub last night , so its a straight choice between Black Country BFG and Springhead Roaring Meg

Just back from a few days in Cork, and a painful reminder that in a country like Ireland which is rightly renowned for its pubs the same cannot be said for its beer. That said, at least you could get a decent-ish pint of stout (i.e. Beamish, even though this is now produced at Murphy's Lady's Well brewery by Heineken Ireland) in most bars. I also found a bottle of Dungarvan's Helvick Gold and tracked down the Franciscan Well brew-pub which had some interesting brews such as Shandon Stout and Rebel Red (also quite widely available elsewhere in the city). But my Irish beer of the week would have to be the excellent Galway Hooker (honouring something nautical, and not what you might think...) which I had en route in Dublin.
