Well that turned into a bit of a week bearing in mind I didn't (unusually) go near a pub on Monday or Tuesday!
Hard to pin down a winner but I'll go with Wilde Child Clique Fiesta taken in the rather good Brunswick Inn which I'm yet to review but its going to get a 9/10.

I had the Charrington's IPA at The Harp the other day, the first time I've seen a [revived?] Charrington's beer since the '80s and it was very good indeed.Originally Posted by Bucking Fastard

My early drinking career was based in a Charrington's house with their IPA as often the only option.Lot's of it went down but locally I much prefered Young's beer then brewed in Wandsworth.I am too young to have seen Charrington's Oatmeal Stout on cask,but the Heritage Brewing revival was great.I suppose HB will also close with the National Brewery Centre

Disappointed to miss Burton but enjoyed a couple of pints of BOTW Tydd Steam Piston Bob straight from the barrel. A 4.6% BBB but balanced and with a pleasingly bitter finish. A BB perhaps.

Having found my notebook...
Chin Chin - Check Codes.*
Half Moon - Old Forge.
Revolutions - Cruel Summer.
Fernandes - Nelson IPA.*
Fernandes - Chinook.
A Chin Chin beer is BOTW for two weeks on the trot. They must be doing something right. Taken at Luis Bar @ Fernandes.
