BOTW goes to Thornbridge Jaipur IPA ,dedicated in the excellent Tamworth Tap to a regular known as Ten Pint Tam,with Thornbridge agreeing that the Jaipur pump clip there can include his name on it.Tam was through his 4th pint by 7pm when I left and looked set for his usual double figures .It helped that the Jaipur was NBSS 5.

Next week looks quiet.
