Kent:
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadd's)-West Coast IPA 5.6%abv.Heavy hitting tooth rasping blast. Surprisingly I'd not tried this before,equally surprising this was my first Gadd's of the year.
Westerham-Grasshopper Kent Red Ale 3.8%abv. OK,this is a Red Ale.
Timothy Taylor-Knowle Spring 4.2%abv.Mellowly zesty Golden Ale.A new beer for me from a Yorkshire favourite.
My BOTW-West Coast IPA.

Some decent keg and a very enjoyable return to the Wenlock after mooring nearby which delivered BOTW in Kernel Export India Porter on handpump,a very complex ale,blackcurrent,,rich,strong yet bitter and drying,the mouthfeel and taste was still there even after downing another ale.

Hawkshead - Lakeland Gold
Enjoyed this in Masons Yard 24 in a quiet Kendal.
Are you aiming for day1 Mick, 14th?Originally Posted by Mobyduck
BOTW I had something lovely in the splendid Guild Ale House in Preston on Monday, but failed to record it, so I'll have to go with Titanic Plum Porter Grand Reserve at my undoubted potm, Black Horse Hotel, Preston, and thanks to the PG crawl for highlighting such a must-do target.
Another visit to the Stars provided most of this week's choice:
Abbeydale Deception*
Byatts Amarillo IPA
Everards Mystic
Byatts Cosmic Jungle IPA
Salcombe Island Street Porter*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Enjoyed the Cosmic Jungle but BOTW was Salcombe Island Street Porter. Managed more than a half this time and it didn't disappoint. Very dangerous at 5.9% and I think it passed the three pint test.

Better than that I'm invited to the soft opening tomorrow evening.
