"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Moongazer Cheeky Jack, good but not quite as good as BOTW Brancaster Oystercatcher .
I know it’s a repeat but it’s well deserved and a shame that it doesn’t find it’s way far from Norfolk.

Another quiet week.
Luddite - 1812.
Luddite - Mosaic.*
Luddite - Transportation.
Luddite - Milk Stout.*
Luddite - Big Ears IPA.
North Riding - US Session (Calypso & Idaho 7).
It will probably come as no surprise when I say we visited the home of Luddite Brewery - The Calder Vale Hotel. The liquorice tinged Milk Stout was just the job, after days of pale beers at home.
