    Blisworth,Cosgrove,Wolverton and Northampton.

    Wychwood -- Hobgoblin Gold
    Timothy Taylor -- Landlord
    Everards --Going for Gold *
    Brew by Numbers --21 *(keg)
    Beer Hut -- Fly Guy *(keg)
    Eagle -- DNA
    Phipps NBC -- Red Star


    I really enjoyed both kegs but BOTW goes to Everards Going for Gold,a Commonwealth games seasonal but NBSS 4 in The Barley Mow,essential after a morning working locks and boating through a heatwave.

    Next week lots of sport action but rail strikes may curtail boozing.

    To me it's now a totally different beer, once ground breaking now decidedly average, which is a shame.

    Yes,it is fine as a low abv pale ale,but there are plenty of better ones to be had.
