Modest week:

The Nibbler was a BBB but a good one and Moongazer seem to be turning out some decent beers but BOTW goes to Brancaster Oystercatcher. An old favourite which didn't disappoint.

A quiet week:
Adnams - Ghost Ship (c)*
Brewhouse - Project Cask Porter (c)*
Five Points - Pale (c)**
Fullers - London Pride (c)
Goodness Brewing Co. - Shout Out (c)*
Young's - Winter Warmer (c)*
BOTW for the third week in a row goes to Hammerton's - Oatmeal Stout (c) at The Rosemary Branch.
Camden,a slow start to the year.
Oakham -- Citra
St Austell -- Tribute
Fuller's -- London Pride
Butcombe -- Original
Limited ale range resulted in this list,and sadly the Citra wasn't well kept,so BOTW by default goes to Fuller's London Pride,kept as well as you could hope in The Hawley Arms
Next week much of the same while boating is suspended due to some internal refurbing.
