    It wasn't my round...

    The build up to Christmas was a bit of disaster this year, having caught Covid in early December. Finally managed a quick drink on Christmas Eve.

    Blue Bee - Centennial / Talus.
    Mallinsons - Incredible Scenes.
    Acorn - Polish Hopped CF123 IPA.
    Blue Bee - Chocolate Stout.

    Not sure if my tastebuds were firing on all cylinders, as they seemed a fairly underwhelming bunch. The Acorn seemed to have the most going for it. Taken in Harry's Bar.
