Some very indifferent beers this week, so it was a relief to have a couple of excellent pints of Harveys in the village club - nothing fancy, but about the best of best bitters in regular production.
A decent week with more hits than misses:
Fernandes - Jackdaw Mild.
Milton - Nero.
Thwaites - Bloomin Ale.
Rudgate - Jorvik Blonde.
Nook - Bees Knees.
Titanic - Anchor.
Fernandes - Wakefield Pride.
Fernandes - Chrome Dome.
York - Constantine.
A two horse race between the Jackdaw and the Chrome Dome, with the latter just shading it. BOTW Fernandes Chrome Dome.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
A mixed week including:
Hereford Muttley Springer
Aston Distressway Aston's Pride
Dark Star Espresso
Bass
TT Landlord
Oakham Bishops Farewell
Derby Bees Knees
Special mentions for the Espresso and ever excellent Bishops Farewell but BOTW was the excellent pint of Bass in The Green Man, Willington.
A few good ones this weekend:
Brewdog 5am Saint (Port St Beer House, Manchester)
Thwaites Wainwright (Piccadilly Wetherspoons, Manchester) - despite being out of a plastic container
Up the Aisle (Odder Bar, Manchester)
Thornbridge Kipling (Scarborough Hotel, Leeds)
Yorkshire Blonde (Aire Bar, Leeds)
I also had a couple of very good bottles on train from Manchester to Leeds, a Goose Island IPA and Snake Dog Flying Dog.
I'll put Yorkshire Blonde as my BotW..it went down very well while watching the Reds regain their crown.
Good night last night ,
Pictish - Palisade
Pictish - Blue Moon
Pictish - Black Diamond
Empire - Orion
Elland - Albino Kangaroo
Kinver - The Noble 600
Love the tag line for the Albino Kangaroo , its Pale and Hoppy , the Blue Moon was very easy to drink for a 6% though not that popular with Stoke fans for some reason,
BOTW is Pictish Palisade , very drinkable
