It surprised me to see McMullens here in Cornwall, not in one pub but two! I hadn't seen them for ages.

Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
Steady week for me, with a mostly solid set of beers, but nothing that blew my socks off. Managed to try a couple of new breweries (Glastonbury and Plain), on a flying visit to London, but the beers weren't that great.
Fullers - Summer Ale.
Kirkstall - Pale Ale.
Rat - Black Rat.
Whitstable - Kentish Reserve.
Ossett - Sizzler.
Fernandes - Wakefield Pride.
Fernandes - Best MILD.
Fullers - Wild River.
Glastonbury - Pilton Pop.
Whitstable - EIPA.
Plain - Inspiration.
Westerham SPA.
XT - 8.
With honorable mentions for the Black Rat and Wakey Pride, this week's winner is Wild River. I'm becoming rather partial to Fullers take on an APA, brewed with Liberty, Cascade, Williamette and Chinook.

According to the thread Fuller's Wild River, you and I tended to agree on the subject almost a year ago! It's ok - I'm not stalking but I did remember some Wild River related chat from last year.

BOTW Saltaire Stateside IPA tried several times in The Old Bell in Harrogate.
A bit of a hefty hoppy beer at 6%, but it went down very well with a trio of venison (steak, sausage & burger).
You need a strong tasting beer to go with a strong tasting meat like venison.
Runner up was Roosters Last Stand also in The Old Bell.
