A very sociable week, with plenty of beer. Met 'oldboots', 'sheffield hatter' and 'trainman' on Wednesday, in Otley. Then spent a peripatetic Saturday afternoon with 'sheffield hatter' again, visiting Castleford, Horbury and Ossett. Tried this week:
Cottage - Boundary.
Moorhouses - Blond Witch.
Rat - Rat in the Hat.
Walls - Northallerton Dark.
WharfeBank - Summer Ale.
Tetley - Mild.
Walls - Summer Gold.
Walls - Gun Dog.
Acorn - Burning Bails.
Bingley - Myrtle Velvet Stout.
Copper Dragon - Best.
Leeds - Pale.
Castle Rock - Harvest Pale.
Thwaites - Nutty Black.
St Austell - Tribute.
Briscoe's - Barden Bitter. *
Kirkstall - North Prototype.
Thornbridge - Jaywick. *
Buxton - Rednick Stout.
Ridgeside - Innuendo.
Old Bear - Airedale.
Bosun Brewing Co. - Maiden Voyage.*
Roosters - Yankee.
Oakham - Endless Summer.
Partners - IPA.
Salamander - Bad Penny Porter.
Fernandes - Simcoe.*
Pennine - Sun Stone.

Those beers asterisked were ones I particularly enjoyed, unfortunately only one of them was in Otley. Oakham have another winner in Endless Summer. Fantastic flavour for 3.4% and just the job for a hot sticky afternoon.
