Yesterday:- Bluecoat, Rotherham

Ossett Excelsior- tried and trusted IPA
Springhead Roaring Meg and Newark Castle Brown- both excellent and.....

rather pleasingly, at the Hind, Rotherham :-

Acorn Sorachi IPA- these hops give this particular IPA a distinctive taste.

Was in Scotland midweek on business. The evening in Glasgow included a pint of Kelburn Red Smiddy 4.1% in Sloans Bar

Was in the Gatehouse most of last night they ran out of 4 yes 4 real ales.

Didnt have too many myself , but enjoyed what I had .

Surprised not to have seen you then, we were in there around 10pm although we only had one drink there (an unappealing brew called Acorn Cantley Common 4.5%).

The Old Angel had a much better Acorn ale (IMO) in the shape of Allabaculia 6.0% a ginger stout which was one to sip but wasn't heavy on the ginger.

We were in early about 7.15 pm left 9.30 pm.

Last pint was the same brew Gary .

Managed a visit to The Cemetary, Rochdale yesterday.

The Three B's Doff Cocker 4.5% was very palatable.

Visited New Clarence and Walters in Hull yesterday, some excellent ales in both inc Shannon IPA and Loxley.

It's a shame The Dons lost on Sunday, it's Keighley Beer Festival this weekend coming.

It's only a 5 minute walk from Cougar Park as well.

Had a pint of Thornbridge Kipling in Mr Foley's Cask Ale House in Leeds last night, good stuff.

Firestone Walker Red Nectar Ale 5.0% for only the second time this weekend. The first was Newcastle a few weeks ago, the second Saturday evening in the Old Angel.

Also tried a pint of Peerless Dark Arts 4.1% in Cask Corner. From the Wirral, this is a dark bitter which is inoffensive if also unspectacular.

blackhole brewery "orbitter" 4.1%,
newby wyke "rutland belle" 4.4%
