Change of plan,so just Merry Hill.
Tiny Rebel -- Cwtch

Jolly Boys - Jolly Klondike Blonde.
North Riding - Cascade.*
Empire - Moonrakers Mild.
Morley - Black Monk of Pontefract.

The North Riding beers were head and shoulders above anything else, this week. I've nominated both before, but after a day's heavy gardening, in the baking sunshine, the Mosaic went down a treat.

Again not many different pubs visited ( 4 ), but an Easter beer festival at The Alfred has significantly increased the beer range with three visits over the five day event.

Many of the above were very good, BOTW goes to Wantsum & Thorn Transatlantic Fog, Cloudy as *^$", but really quite juicy and flavoursome, tried several in the aforementioned Alfred Freehouse.
A special mention goes to Oakham Citra good as ever, several pints of which were enjoyed in The Wonston Arms.
