He might get legless on Tadpole.

I'll tee 'em up ... you hit 'em!

Sampled the Pivni house ale brewed by Thornbridge yesterday at the World Beer Freehouse in York and also a pint of Wadworth 6x in the Punch Bowl (the one opposite the Yorkshire Terrier - as opposed to the Wetherspoons house).

Burton Bridge Damson Porter 4.5%
Northumberland Brown Ale 4.6%
Ilkley Best 4.0%
Raw JR Best 4.2%
all sampled in Cask Corner last night along with yet another pint of Mature Toad.

Correct.

Visited the Black Lion at Firbeck yesterday. The owner bought the pub from Punch Taverns last year and it shows. Five ales on of which two were from microbreweries and some stonkingly good fare to boot. Pub was full on a Wednesday evening, which says something when they're out in the sticks. Both beers I had were in good form, Bryson's Hurricane Bitter and Westgate ( Greene King ) Bonkers Conkers.

I note that the entries for Doncaster town centre in the 2011 Good Beer Guide remain the same as for 2010;

Corner Pin
Gatehouse
Plough
Red Lion
Salutation
Tut 'n' Shive

Good to see the Toad Brewery in there.

Tried the latest offering from the Toad Brewery in Cask Corner at the Weekend. The Da Vinci Toad 5.5% and very nice it is too.

I Toad You So
Here Toad A, Gone Tomorrow
etc

And for the strong stuff:

Been to Huntingdon and Cambridge ... thank goodness there are two Wetherspoons in Cambridge to at least aleviate the gloom of high prices and lifeless beer.
I got fed up of asking folk to try to put a head on the beer and supped lager instead ... hopeless.

However we stopped at Oakham (Rutland) on the way back and called in the Wheatsheaf near the Church and the posh Oakham independent school (Annual fees range from £13,560 to £25,050) and had two of the best pints of properly conditioned ale ... Everards Tiger (4.2%ABV) ... simply superb, particularly after all the shoite I'd had served up farther south.

Caledonian Autumn Red 4.4% (in the Beverley) ... beautiful!

Next JD Wetherspoons Real Ale Festival ... Wednesday 27 October to Sunday 14 November 2010.
