"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Another decent mixed week, but not helped by visits to pubs in Hammersmith & Fulham; not a great place for pubbing thus far. All **+ scoring beers were consumed in The Cock Tavern, The Southampton Arms and a good trip to The Foxglove; keg beers drunk only where cask wasn't available. - good beers, but very poor cellarmanship.

Late entry after a trip East:
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Adnams Ghost Ship*
Barshams Golden Close IPA*
BOTW Barshams Golden Close IPA. I've had the odd Barshams beer before but nothing especially inspiring. This was a 5% IPA, not typical with a decent malt base giving sweetness offset by just enough hoppy bitterness. Typical or not, three pints disappeared easily enough.
