Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
A close one between Hook Norton Copper (a copper coloured ale with plenty of big old school flavours) and Binghams Hop Harvest, their first foray into a light zesty ale, both at The Nags Head
Hook Norton shades it.
A great day out yesterday in Bakewell and Matlock Bath with the good wife,we tried several good beers some more than once.
Ashover - Hydro
Ashover - Golden Valley Ale
Peak Ales - Bakewell Best
Peak Ales - Chatsworth Gold
Peak Ales - Swift Nick
Bradfield - Farmers Blonde
Brunswick - White Feather
Banks's - Banks's bitter
Marstons - Pedigree
All the local beers were very drinkable and my beer of the week goes to Peak Ales Bakewell best this was a very nice amber coloured bitter that was quite bitter and very drinkable, this was tired in the Peacock in Bakewell.
Below is the best of Some of this weeks beers I had this week.
Thwaites Nutty Black
J W Lees Hopmeister
Skinners Betty Stogs
Wooden Hand Cornish Buccaneer
Darkstar Hophead
Rudgate Viking
Beer of the Week Is Skinners Betty Stogs
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
A pretty average week on the beer front. Either not very exciting, or not in particularly good nick. Tried this week:
Ossett - Green Hop.
Ossett - Blonde.
Fernandes - Ale To The Tsar.
Fernandes - Wakefield Wheat Beer.
Fernandes - Crusade.
Vale - Black Swan.
Rat - Black Rat.
Brentwood - Pacific Pale Ale.
ATTT just shades it from the Black Rat. Once again, another totally underwhelming beer from Brentwood.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
In spite of a flying visit to the Cask & Kitchen plus some other decent pubs in that Lunnun I found my BOTW in sunny Knaresborough at Blind Jack's who usually have at least one from Marble plus the house beer brewed by them, I haven't had this one before and it was damn good - Marble No5.
Fairly peaceful week last week after the delights of Tod Fest last week.
Welbeck Abbey Ernest George was very good in The Baub, but BOTW is going to be Allgates Junga. Crisp, fresh and light but with a bit of body as well.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Beer of the Week (w/e 2nd October 2011)
Plain Ales Indulgence 5.2%. A dark ruby porter with aromas just like those of the tin of Lyle's Black Treacle that Yer Gran used to put in the christmas cake.
