Very quiet week with just Oakham Bishops Farewell* on cask.

So, to maintain variety, BOTW goes to Marble Ancodia. A canned, 4.5% session IPA which surpassed expectations.

Just the one beer had this week.

Several in the Lion on Blakey Ridge before a huge steak&ale pie stopped me in my tracks.

The Mancherster Bitter proved to be a great session ale but BOTW goes to Drop Project Choppy ,a smooth Irish stout on NBSS 4.5 form in The Hope,a fine pub with a big mix of customers and ages where everyone was really hitting the ale,great to see a proper boozer in all it's pomp.
