Some real quality on my first week back with BOTW going to Anthology Marlborough on fine form in the Cask.Having just got back from NZ ,excited to see an NZ Pale on offer ,rather unwisely ignoring the 5.5% it whistled through the 3 pint test on what proved a very heavy session.
Next week boating around the Olympic Park and up the Regents,so expecting some hipster brews.
