Beer of the Week (w/e 27th March 2022)
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Kent:
Kent Brewery-Session Pale 3.7%abv.Lovely zestful pint, punching way above its weight. My BOTW
"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.
Very limited this week with just Oakham Bishops Farewell on cask. Very good as ever.
Hence, BOTW goes to Marble Cubbio Damage from a can. Still superb nontheless.
"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
Just a handful of pre-curry swifties, this week.
North Riding - Citra.*
Mill Valley - Yorkshire Mild.
Tigertops - Pacific.
Titanic - Plum Porter.
7 Brothers - American IPA.*
Ilkley - Blonde.
The Citra was excellent, as usual, but as I've nominated it several times over the years, I'll give the honours to the IPA. Taken in Harry's Bar.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Perhaps it needs a new review to counter D H's recent moan?Originally Posted by aleandhearty
