A pub is for life not just for Christmas
No more proper beer for me this week, so BOTW is going to be Brightside Odin.
Light & Hoppy and at 3.8% a great session beer for the warm weather. I had 3 in The Baum on Tuesday.

My beer of the week goes to Great Heck Hecks Angels tried in the Mallard in Worksop.
My BOTW is Cross Bay Brewery Sunset
A night in a McMullens pub was never going to yield a BOTW,so my mini crawl around Bow Street was the last chance ,and luckily Rooster's True Grit in The Williamson Tavern did sink very easily,so was followed by some more.Generally a good sign that the beer is a worthy BOTW.
Hopback's Cropcircle ,unsurpassed this week.
Quite a few beers drunk in Dorset this week:
Palmers Copper Ale, Dorset Gold and 200
Hall & Woodhouse Hopping Hare and Tanglefoot
Otter Bitter and Ale
Ringwood Best and Fortyniner
Butcombe Bitter and Mendip Spring
Jennings Cumberland Ale
Wychwood Hobgoblin
St. Austell Tribute, Trelawny and Proper Job
Sharps Doombar
Theakston XB
Brains IPA
Royal Standard DT3
Yeovil Stargazer
Sunny Republic Beach Blonde and Huna Red
Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted
Tetley's Hop & Glory
However none of these surpassed either Red Squirrel Conservation Ale or Hammerpot Woodcote Bitter, both drunk today in the Roebuck on Richmond Hill (incidentally, the Roebuck now seems to have 6 ales on hand pump and another 3 on stillage - rather more than the selection of 4 ales that were on last time it was reviewed!)

A very quiet week with only TT Landlord and the ever reliable BOTW Oakham Bishops Farewell tried.
Not much time for the pub this week, though I managed to visit an al fresco bbq and micro beer fest at the Gun and Spitroast, Horsmonden on Jubilee Sunday.As it was drizzling I had a pint of Sun Top, a very pale golden Pale Ale from Old Dairy:citrus from the Amarillos, a bit of soul from the East Kent Goldings. The perfect beer for a perfect summer's day:it wasn't, so I had another for good luck.My BOTW.
