Well week off work so a rare mid week outing for me and i managed a few pints in the Coach and Horses on a shopping trip to Shrewsbury with the Mrs
Joules - Pale Ale
Stonehouse - Cambrian Gold
Ludlow - Gold
Shires - Redneck
Ironbridge - Citra
Brewdog - Punk IPA
Prospect - Blinding Light
Ironbridge -Steam
The Joules was interesting it reminds me of Bass when it was good (long time ago)
Not that impressed with the Brewdog , not much flavour for a strong beer
Shires Redneck is in the lead at the moment a lovelly deep copper colour and very drinkable, plenty of flavour for a 5.5%
Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
Three great beers on stunning form last night: York Centurion's Ghost, Bob's White Lion and Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild. Definitely the Sarah Hughes so far.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
A very quiet week and no further ale opportunities sadly. The week was redeemed though by my BOTW Blue Monkey BG Sips which at 4% is very bitter, pale and full of flavour. Another great pint from the purveyors of wittily named ale and they can brew a bit too.
The weeks drinking ended with a visit to the Horseshoes at Uckington on friday and a couple of decent pints , Salopian Treasure Trove and Purple Moose , Dark Side of the Moose , followed by a Saturday crawl around the dives of Wellington
Ludlow - Best (£3.20 a pintfor a 3.7% kin ripoff) (Captain Webb)
Three Tuns - 1642 (the Park)
Hancocks - HB (£2 a pint , but dont look at anybody ) ( Station)
Bankss - Mild Keg (Three Crowns)
Wye Valley - HPA (Oddfellows)
Blacksheep - Ruddy Ram Porter (Swan)
Weetwood - Cheshire Cat , Sadlers - Thin Ice (Cock Hotel)
Salamander - Golden Salamander , Mallinsons - Station Extra (Station , Oakengates)
BOTW is going to be Shires - Redneck as drunk in the Cock Hotel , a great pub in a town full of dives

I've just joined Alcoholics Anonymous - I still drink, just under a different name.
