Another excellent week. Any of the starred beers could have won with lesser competition. Not having had Green Devil for a very long time, I'd forgotten what an excellent beer it is. A very worthy BOTW. Taken at Harry's Bar.

Interesting to see Play Brew so far south! Their taproom is just about walking distance down the Tees from me.

A trip around Derby, taking in the Brunswick, Five Lamps, Woodlark and one or two others.

Bass in the Woodlark.

Decent selection in a part of the world that used to be a real ale desert.
BOTW Moongazer Cheeky Jack . A hoppy, 5% IPA. Perfect for warmer days.

Marston's -- Wainwright Amber
Marston's -- Bass *
Marstons -- 61 Deep

I really enjoyed a very well kept pint of Draught Bass after working up 11 locks but BOTW goes to Blue Bee Park Hill Porter,a strong 'un and slipped down with ease in The Old Bank House.

Next week end month sessions in Hertford and Gospel Oak,hopefully quality all the way.
