A little more low-keyed this week.

A couple of nice milds in there but BOTW is Brew York Calmer Chameleon on cask in The Alfred.
Another quietish one coming up.

Three old favourites:
Everards Tiger*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*
All good but I really enjoyed BOTW Everards Tiger. Beautifully kept and it seemed to suit the autumnal weather.
