Difficult choice ,BOTW goes to Blue Bee Parkwood Porter which stood out on the crawl despite my tastebuds taking a battering from a large mix of different beers previously.Having a pint helped and it was in good condition in The White Swan,for me one of the highlights of the tour.
Next week no rest for the wicked with boating to Kidsgrove and Stone finished off by weekend footie.
