"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
A gentle wander round Halifax provided most of this week's beers. I even managed to pick up four new pubs in the process.
White Rabbit - White Pale Ale.
Rat - White Rat.
Anthology - Extra Hopped Session Pale.*
First Chop - DDH (Citra & Eldorado).*
Anarchy Brew Co. - Blonde Star.
Thornbridge - Astryd.*
Vocation - Chop & Change.
Ossett - Cluster.
A pretty good bunch, overall, but the Astryd and the Anthology pale were the two that really stood out. The former just shades it. Taken in The Upper George.

Found at the Poppleton Beer Festival: Two by Two Porter a clear favourite.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
