Pre-lockdown list:
Quantock Wills Neck
Marston's Pedigree
Yorkshire Heart Blackheart Stout*
Purity Gold
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Salopian Golden Thread*
Enjoyed the Golden Thread but BOTW goes to Yorkshire Heart Blackheart Stout which went down well on a chilly with the added bonus of being a new brewery to me.
Already missing cask beer.

A final pub in Warwick before Lockdown II

"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Didn't get to the pub before LD2, and we should have been in North Yorkshire now, so I'm grumpier than usual.From cans:
Good Things Brewing:
Into the Pines 7.4%abv West Coast IPA. Heavyweight.
First Tracks 3.2%abv Session Pale Stone fruit. Hazy.
Cellar Head Amitola 4.2%abv APA. Tropical fruit,with a decent degree of bitterness.
Amitola is rapidly becoming a beer of choice for me, but I was really impressed with the character of the lighter First Tracks, my BOTW. Next week, two new'uns from Good Things.
