Had some decent but not great beers midweek
brass castle -burn out
ilkley- mash tonne
bear hug -hibernation ipa
firebrand -graffiti ipa
Camden -emporer nero (black ipa was pretty good)
ilkley-de passie (imperial passion fruit white ipa) not often you see this style of beer
queens head -premium bitter 5.9 rather good from the new brewery in the cellar of the Queens Head kings cross
so the winner was
west berks -mr chubbs lunchtime bitter (a reliable beer watching the world cup in my local.)

I was almost the 3rd person to vote for Dow Bridge Ratae'd this week and I thought it was the best pint on our Rugby crawl.
But it was just beaten on Saturday in the Baum by Three Castles Tornado a 4.3% AMber ale, very pleasant.
