For nostalgia's sake,I drank a dusty bottle of Old Dairy's Red Top,which had evolved into a lovely mellow autumnal glass, never to be repeated.

Quiet week with very little cask action so this week's winner is from a can.
BOTW Marble Cross Collar. A 5.2% West Coast Pale which is one of my favourite canned, Marble beers, and therefore I suppose one of my favourite canned beers.

Another quiet week.
Mallinsons - Centennial Chinook.
Shiny - 4 Wood.
Siren - Lumina.
Stancill - Porter.
Chin Chin - Happy Place.
Wensleydale - Gamekeeper.
Another week where the beers were decent, but didn't particularly excite. The Lumina was probably the pick of the bunch. Taken in Harry's Bar.
