A few old favourites but BOTW goes to Oakham 12 Monkeys. New to me and priced at £2.66 in the ever salubrious Rugby 'Spoons. Easily passed the 3 pint test and so good that we lost the will to move.

Five Points - XPA *
Kelham Island - Pale Rider **½

Twickenham - Small Batch (cherry & tonka bean stout) **¼

Just a quick Friday teatime session, this week.
Luddite - Burning Mill.*
North Riding - US Session Pale.
Luddite - Transportation.*

Both the Burning Mill and Transportation were very good, but the former, a smoked porter (5.4%) just edges it. Taken at
The Calder Vale Hotel.
