Didnt get out much and disappointingly the Cerne Abbas mini beer festival seemed dominated by low ABV bitters,no mild ,porters or stout.Slightly horrified to see both Youngs Bitter and Old Speckled Hen featuring among the 20 ales but I had to remind myself that this is darkest Dorset.

The week was saved by a heavy session in The Edgar Wallace and my BOTW was Howard Town Glotts Hop a 5% citrus and bitter golden ale,right up my strasse.
