Purple Moose - Cwrw Glaslyn Ale
Purple Moose - Cwrw Glaslyn Ale
Another fairly subdued week for me, with only five beers tried:
Jarrow - Jarrow Bitter.
Jarrow - Isis.
Salamander - Blind Spot.
Salamander - Leap of Faith.
Ossett - Silver King.
Easy winner was the Jarrow Bitter, drunk in The Hop, Wakefield.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
An excellent week, with many contenders.
Stonehenge Danish Dynamite, Burton Bridge Damson Porter (very drinkable), Theakston's Old Peculiar, Summer Wine Rouge Hop, Redemption Fellowship Porter and the excellent Buxton Moor Top were all in contention but for BOTW I am following trainman's lead and nominating Marble Dobber - another cracking beer from a brewery who seem to be at the very top of their game right now.
Ill go for Elgood's Black Dog.
