I can't keep nominating Jaipur so BOTW goes to Perivale Veri Hazy,a 5.5% IPA as hazy as you like in the Dodo micropub

Next week boating along the Leicester Line and some important footie.

Five Points - Pale **½
Thornbridge - Jaipur **½
Turning Point /Five Points- 1895 Mild **½
Vertigo/New Barns - Canopus IPA **½
Wimbledon - Keller Helles **¾ (proof that lager tastes better on cask)

BOTW goes to Titanic - Plum Porter *** at The White Swan (JD Wetherspoon) on superb form; the same can’t be said about the quality of the venue though.

[Mobyduck]

the same can’t be said about the quality of the venue though.

No, it's rubbish.

No, it's rubbish.

3rd worst, to be precise. Not sure why I wasn't in the Pocket over the road.

[Thuck Phat]

Local and east:

Moongazer Pintail*
Brancaster Oystercatcher*
Moongazer Cheeky Jack*
Barsham Bacchus Barrel IPA*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Hop Back Summer Lightening*

Although this looks a fairly unadventurous list it was all excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the Summer Lightening but BOTW has to be Barsham Bacchus Barrel IPA again. Probably the last I'll have as Burn Valley only provided a few barrels.

The Borough.First pub visits away from Kent this year:

Redemption-Trinity 3%abv. A wonderfully flavourful willowy light bitter.
Southwark LPA 4%abv.Workmanlike Pale.
Harvey's -Sussex XX Dark MILD 3%abv.Nourishing,dried fruit.
Harvey's -Armada Ale 4.5%abv.Suave,bitter oranges.
Brakspear-Gravity 3.4%abv.Tired.

Neck and neck between the two lightweights, but my BOTW is Redemption , a new beer to me, taken at The Woolpack
