I've nominated Blue Monkey brews much too regularly on this voyage down The Trent,so to ring the changes BOTW goes to Vocation Heart & Soul during a cheeky pint in The Draughtsman Alehouse with half an hour to spare between connections.What a superb micro.
Next week travelling into West Yorkshire to position the boat for the annual booze cruise,sadly cancelled in 2020 by the pandemic.
