A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Blanche de Bruxelles
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
Unless there's a last minute challenger its going to be Dark star Victorian Ruby Mild.Its better to be drunk and fall ,than never have drunk at all (mobyduck)

As I suspected ,a last minute change of beer has stole the day. Dark Star Hophead, possibly my favorite beer of all time has won it for me this week.

Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
Quieter week after last weeks excess
Blue Bee - Nectar Pale
Empire - Fastnet
Rudgate - Nordic Storm
Wentworth - Chocolate Chilli Stout
Rowton - Starlight
Harbour - Amber
Three Tuns - Jubilation
BOTW Rudgate - Nordic Storm
The Wentworth Choc chilli stout was a very good stout but had way to much chilli which killed the flavour like having a way too hot curry

From these 4:
Oakham Bishops Farewell and Inferno
Marstons Old Empire IPA
Purity Mad Goose
All these were good but BOTW is Oakham Inferno.
The Nags Head had Windsor & Eton Kohinoor on during the Jubilee music quiz (Gilbey played a song from each year of the 50 on the pub's piano - our team Aztec CAMRA came 2nd
A poor week on the beer front,with another short visit to Bateman's country where XB seems to crop up just about everywhere.As a result BOTW was Sharp's Doom Bar,I know that's a pretty ordinary choice,but it was the best I could find.Consumed in The Mall,Woodhall Spa.
Beer tents week:
Old Dairy-Copper Top.A dark chestnut best bitter:farmyard,roasted root vegetables.
Old Dairy-Sun Top.A very pale ale:citrus-great for a summer's day.
Westerham-Jubilation. A showcase for nine Kent grown (and bred) hops.Savoury spiciness.Epic. My BOTW.
