Some real quality on my first week back with BOTW going to Anthology Marlborough on fine form in the Cask.Having just got back from NZ ,excited to see an NZ Pale on offer ,rather unwisely ignoring the 5.5% it whistled through the 3 pint test on what proved a very heavy session.
Next week boating around the Olympic Park and up the Regents,so expecting some hipster brews.

Kent:
Three Acre-Ruby Porter 4.2%abv.Don't usually go for beer with adjuncts, but this coffee led porter ticked the box on a gloomy dank Saturday.My BOTW.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
A poor week due to drinking in Wandsworth:
Breakspear - Gravity **½
Iron Pier - Dark Vanilla **½
Portobello - Star **½
Sambrook’s - Junction **½
Twickenham - Naked Ladies **½
BOTW goes to Mighty Oak - Saxon Strong *** at The Wenlock Arms, after a small blip a while back, it's still the place to beat for miles around.
