A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Fell Brewery - Export Stout.
Four thirds were had in Chorlton's Fell Bar.
Kent: Goacher's weekend.
Goacher's-Real MILD Ale. 3.4%abv. Pretty near perfection.Chocolate earthy goodness.
Goacher's-Special House Ale. 3.8%abv.Great earthiness.
Goacher's-Fine Light Ale. 3.7%abv.Peppery farmyard goodness.

Enjoyed all those starred including the old favourites. BOTW goes to Frome Brewing Co Rise of the Independents. A new brewery to me and I enjoyed this fruity - lemon and gooseberry apparently although it wasn't especially tart, 4.8% pale. Billed as an IPA but at 4.8% I'm not convinced it makes the cut but good nonetheless.
"Beer is food." Morse, Colin Dexter
Staveley (near Kendal), this week.
Hawkshead - Mosaic.*
Hawshead - Red.
Hawkshead - Drystone Stout.*
Kirkby Lonsdale - Pennine Ambler.
Keswick - 18 Dark.
Coniston - Olivers Light.
Hawkshead - ITI.
Cumbrian - Loweswater Gold.
Barngates - Tag Lag.
Hawkshead - Cumbrian Gold.
Hawkshead - Taranaki.*
Cumbrian - Esthwaite Bitter.
Bowness - Swan Blonde.
Plenty of variety, but not an awful lot to quicken the pulse. The Mosaic, the first pint of the holiday and drunk in the sunshine, outside The Hawkshead Beer Hall won hands down.
