A good week for variety.Tried the following:
East Coast: Hoppers No.8.
Bob's Brewery: White Lion
Ossett: Citra
Phoenix: Thirsty Bob
Hardknott: Light Cascade
Loch Leven: Golden Goose
Milestone: Crusader
Angus Ales: Mashie Niblick
Great Heck: Staggering Genius
Milton: Nero
Titanic: Captain Smith
WharfeBank: Tether Blonde
The Hardknott deserves an honourable mention, but the Milton Nero was a fabulous stout. It's well in the lead and my probable winner for this week, unless I can squeeze a couple in later today.

A bit if a comedown this week after 2 weeks away. Had it not been for yet another short notice secret Squeeze gig at the Charlton's Anchor & Hope on Thursday I wouldn't even have made a pub until yesterday's local quiz night. A combination of World Cup footy and hot weather meant that a lot of Dartford's pubs were running a bit dry yesterday and choices were a bit limited so I will pick my BotW as Sambrook Wandle that I had with my pre-gig 'Spoons curry on Thursday in the Gate Clock at Greenwich. I have had a few pints of it before but it never really caught me as being anything special. Maybe the heat and the Beef Madras brought out the refreshing side of it that I had previously been unable to unearth.
It's going to be one of those "Blonde" things but a very nice beer, Acorn Blonde from the outstanding brewery in Barnsley
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
