A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Kent
Tonbridge-IPA:4.8%abv.Oatstraw.Spicy,herbal,bitter.Perhaps a strong Bitter.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Ossett Excelsior, in Stockton's Wetherspoons.
Tower Hill,Charing Cross and Croydon.
Salopian -- Golden Thread
Dark Star -- Hophead
Brew Dog -- 99 Problems * (keg)
Pin -Up -- Gold Rush
Sam Smiths -- Yorkshire Stingo *
Burning Sky -- Aurora * (>3PT)
The Yorkshire Stingo on cask was interesting but BOTW goes to Burning Sky Aurora ,on top form (NBSS 4.5) and a welcome return to The George.With Thornbridge Jaipur and Titanic Plum Porter also on,maybe they are back in the game,but I will wait for more confirmation before increasing the rating.
Next week end month sessions inclding the annual pilgrimage to The Southampton Arms.

More excellent beer in the past week.
Hop Kettle Home Grown
Navigation Black IPA
Deeply Vale Citra Storm
Muirhouse Tick Tock
Revolutions Tinderbox
Slaters Western
Acorn Mystic IPA
Flowerpots Perridge Pale
West Berks Maharaja IPA
This weeks BOTW is the Maharaja despite some very good opposition. I hadn't particularly rated this beer when tried in the past but the latest offering was excellent in condition and taste.

No BOTW for me. I've been diagnosed as anaemic and also told that if I carry on drinking at the sane level my liver will explode.
No plans for any drink until Saturday and that's beginning to look unlikely.
