    Iron Pier-Heritage 19th. Century Porter 5.1%abv. Toasty dry Porter:very bitter.Based on a Victorian Recipe-I wonder if my Grandfathers would have recognised it?

    Goacher's-Fine Light Ale 3.7%abv.Slight haze,marmalade goodness.

    My BOTW-Iron Pier Nineteenth Century Porter.

    Some top quality beer this past week, particularly and maybe surprisingly in London, BOTW goes to Deya Steady Rolling Man, the first time I've tried this on cask and was flawless in every way, maybe with the exception of the £6.50 price tag. Taken and greatly enjoyed in The Lucky Anchor Ale House.

    Decent week for me, including a lazy Sunday afternoon wander round town, which I've not managed in ages.

    Saltaire - Plums in Tums.
    Little Critters - Little Hopper.
    Oakham - Citra.
    Yorkshire Heart - Black Heart.*
    Salopian - Shropshire Gold.
    Yorkshire Heart - Silver Heart.
    Wensleydale - Kiss from a Rose.*
    North Riding - Mosaic.*
    Chin Chin - Twisted Light.
    Fernandes - Malt Shovel Mild.*
    Rat - Ratatonic.
    Fernandes - Spaced Out.


    Quite a few to choose from, this week, but the Black Heart, on a fresh palate really did the job. Taken in The Black Rock.

    Continuing the lack of variety this year:

    Hop Back Summer Lightening*
    Oakham Bishops Farewell*
    Moongazer Cheeky Jack*
    Barsham Golden Close IPA*

    All very good. BOTW Moongazer Cheeky Jack. Dangerous at 5% as it flies down.

    Three weeks in Thailand and no real ale,as might be expected but some interesting bottled indie beers.

    The main nationally available lagers brands are Leo,Chang and Singha ,the latter at 5% the best IMHO and squaffable in the 660 ml bottle variety,less so on keg.

    Indie beers consumed

    Full Moon -- Cantri IPA
    Chiang Mai -- Chalawan
    Chiang Mai --Ping River Pilsner
    Chiang Mai -- Red Truck
    Brewing Project -- Whale Pale Ale
    Chiang Mai -- Blossom Weizen
    Phuket -- Lager
    Full Moon -- Chalawan Pale
    Full Moon -- Say Play Cold IPA

    Almost always found in bottles,and generally around 5% with a variety of flavours,some exotic. I was reasonably impressed with the offerings above apart from the Phuket Lager made with rice .The most memorable Chiang Mai Red Truck,you dont expect to find a red ale in this part of the world.
