A pub is for life not just for Christmas
from across the Atlantic old dominion brewing co of Dover Delaware - hop mountain keg
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
Camden Gentleman's Wit is a terrific interpretation of a Belgian style wheat beer and easily wins the prize for me.

Lymestone Pounamu, my beer of the week one of Wetherspoons Festival beers and very good.

I thought a Spoonsfest beer may win this week, but it got pushed out.
Wharfebank Spring Hop 4.3%
Corfu Ionian Coffee Porter 4.5%
Titanic Molly Brown Ale 4.6%
Devil's Backbone American Amber 4.8%
Nethergate Bowler 5.0%
Brodie's Mosaic Pale 5.0%
Deschutes Twilight Pale Ale 5.0%
Siren Soundwave 5.6%
Siren Liquid Mistress 5.8%
Bateman's Mocha 6.0%
Brodie's Caramel Salt Brown 6.0%
Brodie's Saki IPA (keykeg) 8.0%
The Bateman's Mocha was odds-on to win until I tried the Siren Liquid Mistress which was a superb dark red ale at £2.60 in the Leyton King William IV. The Saki IPA came close to making it into the BABOTW thread as it was proper keg gassy and had absolutely no redeeming qualities other than the high ABV.
BOTW Siren Liquid Mistress
Another quiet week for me

My BOTW is Ilkley's take on Tetleys Bitter (alledgedly) Joshua Jane, brown in colour but with lots of hops.
With 12 new beers tried this week but most pretty dull or just badly made.Arbor -artizan is a good beer but
Fyne -life of Ryely was lovely from a brewer who never disappoints.
