Nicholsons Beer Festival

[RogerB]

Just thought - somewhere along the line we forgot to keep getting the stamps on our card for a free pint!

Well I think I have fathomed out why the Crutched Friars didn't have any Festival beers this week - it is no longer a Nicholsons! It was sold to the Stonegate Pub Compnay about 3 months ago along with about 300 Mitchell & Butler pubs. Me thinks the Nicholsons website needs a bit of an overhaul!

After an aborted meet at Crosse Keys, which had just 3 pumps serving (from 24), we started yesterday at White Hart, which had a fine choice across the pumps - Brewdog 5am Saint, Oakleaf Holehearted, Williams'(?) Seven Giraffes, Ascot Alligator, Doombar, TT Landlord, Pride, Thornbridge Wild Holly, all £3.25, our 3 all in great nick.

Next was Woodins Shades, Hopdaemon Incubus, Brewdog Alphadog, Adnams Old, Pride, 7 Giraffes, White Horse Black Porter, TT Landlord, £3.25.

Churlish, when so close, not to nip over to Pride of Spitalfields & some fine Brewers Gold.

Lord Aberconway let the side down with just 3 of six pumps in action - Pride, Doombar, & Woodlands Midnight Stout. I queried the poor selection, referencing the festival, and was told (a lie) that 'it has finished'. Grudgingly, we stayed for halves.

On to The Globe, which has changed greatly since I worked (in another lifetime) next door at Moor House. Pride, Landlord, Oakleaf Holehearted, Deuchars, Saltaire Triple Chocoholic.

I was hoping to make the Old Bell, but it closes 18:00 (Sat) & time was against us.

The Nicholsons part of the tour was over and beers at Market Porter, Charles Dickens, & Lord Clyde, went unrecorded.

I had another pop at the beer festival ale in The Falcon,Clapham Junction on Friday evening.As you might expect ,they were carrying a great number of the festival ales and the quality was top drawer.BrewDog 5am Saint,Saltaire Triple Chocoholic,Hopdaemon Incubus,ViciousIPA,White Shield (interesting cask version by the brewer of bottled WS) ,Lancaster Red and Camden Pale were all sampled ,with 5am Saint getting the nod as beer of the evening.

Only wish I had remembered my Nicholsons cask ale collectors card
