A good beer week with the exception of some boring stuff in Pimlico apart from The Cask of course, however BOTW is going to Reading this week and The Nags Head with a Siren tap takeover, Siren The Night Market was exceptionally good and a style I'm very fond of, Export India Porter.
Next week we shall see what Cambridge has to offer.

A poor week, plodding the mean streets of Stockwell and Brixton:
Harvey’s – Sussex Beast **½

Sambrook’s – Junction **½
Timothy Taylor – Landlord **½
BOTW goes to Twickenham – Naked Ladies **¾ at The Barrel Vault (JD Wetherspoon)

All good but BOTW was Byatt's Midnight Export. A proper, rich 6% stout with hints of coffee and chocolate and another winner from a currently very reliable brewerey.
