Brunswick Meach Pelba*
Purity Longhorn IPA (keg)*

All were excellent and whistled down during a warm week. BOTW was Brunswick Meach Pelba a 5.3% IPA with hints of peach and raspberry which gave a refreshing background flavour rather than overwhelming. Flew easily through the 3 pint test on a lovely sunny afternoon.
