All local and a decent week:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Blue Monkey Infinity +1*
Nethergate White Stout*
Growling Dog Raspberry Milk Stout*
North Cotswold Shagweaver*
Dr Dray Nightjar
Empire Porter*
Byatts Mythical Beast*
Abbeydale Absolution*
All starred would make a worthy BOTW but up against the mighty BOTW Blue Monkey Infinity +1 they paled slightly. An excellent, rich, moreish 5.6% beer which easily passed the 3 pint test.
"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
Birdingbury and Croydon,a modest week.
Bateman's -- XB
Burning Sky -- Springtime *
Burning Sky -- Aurora * (3PT)
Verdant -- Electric Mizzle * (keg)
BOTW goes to an old favourite Burning Sky Aurora on good form in The George.
Next week more footie,the delights of Warwick and an end month session in Paddington should produce a longer list.

Just a Friday teatime session, this week.
Luddite - Mosaic.*
Luddite - Milk Stout.*
Luddite - Transportation.
Luddite - Burning Mill.*
Blue Bee - Nelson Nectaron.

A very solid bunch. Love working my way across the pumps, when I visit. I particularly enjoyed the Mosaic and Burning Mill, but the latter, a 5.4% smoked porter, really hit the spot. Taken at The Calder Vale Hotel, Horbury.
