Beer of the Week (w/e 5th June 2022)
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Essex:
Bishop Nick-Heresy: 4%abv.Workmanlike English Golden ale.Floral citrus,mineral backbone.A great improvement on an earlier experience of Bishop Nick.By default, 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.
This week:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Church Farm Session IPA
Titanic The Wreckage
North Cotswold Windrush
Abbeydale Moonshine*
The Wreckage may well have taken the title had not just had a hint of being on the turn so BOTW goes to Abbeydale Moonshine. On superb form and easily passing the 3 pint test.

A flying visit to Worcester, over the weekend, was the basis for this week's bibbing.
Hobson's - Town Crier.
Ambridge Ales - Indian Troop.*
Ambridge Ales - London Porter.
Malvern Hills - Black Pear.
Salopian - Golden Thread.
Craddocks - Crazy Sheep.
Prescott (Hanlons) - Super 6.*
Mallinsons - Mixology II.
Ledbury - Dark.
Overall, I was quite disappointed with the beer quality, which hovered between the adequate and the average. Only a couple offered a bit more. The easy winner was the Super 6, taken in one of my favourite pubs - The Cardinals Hat. It was good to see it how I remember it, as it had a spell in the doldrums, for a few years, apparently.
