    BOTW is Wainstones Sandstones tried at York festival on Thursday. So good I tried the other Wainstones beers on offer, Ironstone and Amber and for a recently started brewery they were tip top beers, but the Sandstone was the best for me.

    GBG shows them under Stokesley brewery, started 2010.

    It's hard living in the land of Phoenix, Pictish & Green Mill.

    Incidently Green Mill have just moved to the old brewhouse at the Cask & Feather.

    Work has prevented me getting to the pub all week except for a mini pub crawl of Reading but that was full of good beers especially in the Nags Head and even in the Monks Retreat. Lots of choice but I think I shall go for Ramsbury Showtime. Roll on Monday night when the drinking recommences.

    The regulars at the Station are trying to "twin" the pub with the Pictish Brewery (its been voted best Brewery for the last 2 years by the locals) , the exchange of letters are pinned on the pub notice board and are very funny

    Had a superb pint of Marble (brew ?? - 3.9%) in Cask Pub and Kitchen yesterday - that's my BotW.

    Managed to get out yesterday after all; St Austell Proper Job & Thornbridge Kipling were both delicious at the George in Croydon. Hard to choose but I'll give it to Kipling, 5.2% for £1.90. 'Exceedingly good beer...' Coat!

    My BOTW goes to Mellow Yellow from Caledonian Brewery,describe on the pump clip as a harvest ale and a pleasant pint supped in Crick on the way taking my son to Sheffield University for freshers week.He shows no sign of appreciating real ale but give him three years in the ale capital of the UK (IMHO) ,and lets see what he learns.
    Only half a day from my winter mooring,although I will have the odd trip out up The Stort .Sadly the whole area apart from Hertford is poor on the ale front unless you like Greene King and McMullens beers,so in desperation going to Cerne Abbas mini beer festival to catch up with relies and hopefully get a better BOTW next week.

    Had about a dozen decent beers this week, but no clear winner. In the running were Brewdog 'Trashy Blonde', Ossett 'Quick Silver' - like a drier Excelsior, Fernandes 'Great Northern' and Fernandes 'Chocolate Stout'. The Quick Silver just shades it.

    P.S. Had Rudgate 'Ruby Mild' again this week and was a bit underwhelmed. Does anybody else feel that the quality's not been quite the same since it was awarded Champion Beer?

    Most enjoyable pint of the week: Midnight Porter from the Magpie Brewery, in The Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough.

    Most unusual pint of the week: Black & Tan from Naylor's Brewery, in the Plough & Harrow ('spoons), Hammersmith.
