A tussle between American Five Hop, one of my favourite beers of the last couple of years; Acorn Barnsley Bitter at the Bath Hotel, my nearest regular haunt; and the superb Tetley's at the Black Rock in Wakefield. As I told the licensee, it was the best Tetley's I've had since the brewery in Leeds was abandoned. He's well aware how good it is, as he fired back "Best Tetley's in Yorkshire!" And I had three pints of it, so that has to be my beer of the week.
