A pub is for life not just for Christmas
After 11 days in Greece it was back to the pub last night and some decent beer
Saltaire - Summer Ale
Exmoor - Silver Stallion
Ossett - Santiam
Wentworth - Golden Iris
Ossett Santiam is in the lead at the moment after 11 days of lager it was like nectar

Had some good and some very bad ones this week. Went across to the Willows to see Salford v Leeds last night and had canned tetley's poured into a plastic container. That won't be my beer of the week.
Contenders..
Summer Wine - 7 Cs (Port St Beer House)
Brewdog Hardcore IPA (North Bar)
Brewdog 5am Saint (bottle)
Ringwood Boondoggle (Junction Inn, Shipley)
Summer Wine - Valencia (Foley's)
Summer Wine 7Cs wins as not only did I thoroughly enjoy it as I drowned my sorrows from a beating from the Rhinos (at 7% I needed it!), it was also enjoyed by someone who usually drinks lager.

A few days in North Norfolk haven't been great on the beer front as the area is almost exclusively dominated by Adnams, Greene King and Woodforde's Wherry. The only honourable exceptions I found were everything from the Fox brewery in Heacham, Woodforde's Nelsons Revenge and BOTW Brancaster Oystercatcher, a pale and well-balanced bitter which at 4.4% seems to improve with drinking. Or maybe that's relief increasing at not having to face another GK IPA.
Due to some bizarre alignment of the planets, I haven't had an ale or visit to the pub all week.Somehow I've managed nothing apart from supermarket own brand French stubbies and, as I type, a can of wifebeater. Hopefully, this time tomorrow I'll have had a swift half gallon of something more pleasing in The Castle, St Ives.
Back in two weeks.
