"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

Not a patch on Moby's impressive list but not bad for me:
Potbelly Hedonism
Blue Monkey MPA*
4T's Stout Detectives
Magpie Out West
Green Duck Fantasia*
Green Duck Smooth Criminal*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*
Enjoyed the Bishops and Summer Lightening as always and the Fantasia, described as a zesty, orange IPA went down well.
BOTW was Blue Monkey MPA, Monkey Pale Ale at 4.8%. Typical Blue Monkey style with plenty of flavour and a very moreish, dusty dry finish. Tip top.

Tough choice ,the MPA was excellent but BOTW goes to 4T Stout Detectives with both brews sampled in The Last Heretic.The very definition of a top stout.
Much quieter week ahead ,although got some interesting cans and bottles as birthday presents.
