Stanstead Abbotts and Croydon,twice.
Mc Mullen -- Country Bitter (>3PT)
Oakham -- Inferno *
Oakham -- Bishops Farewell * (3PT)
Signal -- Solo *
Thornbridge -- Jaipur IPA *
High ale quality in The George from which BOTW in Signal Solo was drawn,a decent porter from a very local brewery.
Next week looking good,away day to see a very old friend and end month meet ups in Hertford and Pimlico.My cup should runneth over.

Kent: Goacher's Saturday.
Goacher's-Gold Star 5.1%abv.Elegant English Pale Ale.Spice
Goacher's-Special House Ale.3.8%abv. A perfect session bitter, albeit on the cold side.
Both equally good, but the Gold Star is my BOTW,mainly because it is less frequently seen.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Another good week for me.

An easy winner this week. The Easy Breezy was a fabulous pale beer made with Amarillo, UK Cascade, Mosaic, and Hallertau Blanc hops. Taken in Harry's Bar.
