A small list

A short but delicious list:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Byatts Smoke on the Porter*
Byatts Mahana IPA*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*
Really enjoyed the Mahana IPA which is hoppy, fruity, pale and 6% but BOTW goes to Byatts Smoke on the Porter which easily passed the 3 pint test. A lovely, bitter, 4.9% porter from a very reliable, local brewery.
"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
Enjoyed our annual pre-Christmas wander round Skipton, on Saturday. Always a good atmosphere. Heartening to see all the pubs and bars doing brisk trade.
Lancaster - Chinook.*
Seven Brothers - Sunset IPA.*
Saltaire - Titus.
2by2 - Porter.
Wishbone - Tiller Pin.*
Craven Brewing Co - Black Angus Porter.
Wensleydale - Three Lions.
Reedley Hallows - NZ Pale.*
Bingley - Moo Moo.
Some good beers in the list, but the Tiller Pin ( a blend of Citra, Chinook and Cascade) was on fantastic form at The Boathouse Bar.

BOTW goes to Byatt's Mahana IPA ,a deceptive 6% and so quaffable it resulted in a 3PT during a very long and quality filled session in The Seven Stars. There was some weaving on my way back to the station.
Next week mainly a crawl around Worcester ,not boat based this time.
