Brewdog - Punk IPA, from Foley's in Leeds. Up there with an Imperial Stout from North Bar, and a couple of Ossettt brews from The Hop. This weekend was notable that I had my first ever brew from the Fernandes brewers that did not appeal (called "Solar Powered" - just a bit bland - maybe they were honouring Tetleys?).
- Beer of the week this week KELHAM ISLAND PALE RIDER 5.2% ABVKelham Island Brewery.
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
Yesterday featured fff Moondance at Horsham's Malt Shovel, Surrey Hills Greensands IPA at Warnham's Sussex Oak, Surrey Hills Gilt Complex at Rusper's Royal Oak, all fabulous beers, but botw has to be (again) the sensational Thornbridge Kipling, enjoyed on separate occasions at Croydon's George (£2.30).
Nothing to spectacular this week , everything tasted a bit bland probally more to do with the fact i have got a bit of a cold rather than the beer .
Doctor Mortons - Wait Lifter
Mallinsons - Grey Sky to Blue
Ossett - White Rose Wheat
Wentworth - New Zealand Pale
Accorn - Columbus IPA
BOTW Doctor Mortons - Wait Lifter
Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
Limited choices for us, but the Sheffield Brewery Mild Steel 3.7% has to be BOTW this week. Enjoyed it at the Star in Crowlas where the beer is always good.
Same beer, same pub, same price for me too. There wasn't much in the way of competition but it's a worthy winner regardless.Originally Posted by trainman
I have decided that I won’t be maintaining a beer of the week thread any more, hence the lack of appearance of new threads. I have too many time commitments and something’s have to give, this is one of those things.
If someone feels they have the time and want to run the “of the week/month” threads, assuming they are a regular contributor, I can look at giving them the ability to stick and move threads which is all I was doing.
Two from Oakham to choose from, Bishops Farewell and BOTW White Dwarf, a tasty 4.3% wheat beer with Oakham's trademark bitter finish.
As my enforced period of, more or less, abstinance came to an end on Sunday last, I can confidently say my BotW was Old Thumper, as it was the only one I drank. Very nice too, although I have to say three pints of the stuff hit me right between the eyes..........
Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........
