| Alechemy Ten Storey Malt Bomb 4.5%, sampled in the York Tap en-route to Thirsk races was a decent find.
From a micro brewery in Livingston, it's described as a modern 80/- and was dark, sweet and malty.

| Theakston Best Bitter 3.8% (cask) available at Thirsk racecourse as it was at Pontefract on Monday ... pity about the plastic 'glasses' but understandable.

| A couple of pleasant ales in the York Tap awaiting transportation back to South Yorkshire ...
Half Moon Brewery Old Forge, a steady bitter at 3.8% with hints of honey and lemon. Brewed in the York area.
Charnwood Vixen 4.0%, a Loughborough brew, badged as a copper ale but effectively a best bitter with fruit flavours (and again a hint of honey).

| Highlights of an afternoon / evening in Sheffield;
North Riding Brewery Milk Chocolate Stout 5.0%, in the Sheffield Tap ... does what it says on the label ... delicious.
North Riding Brewery Hazelnut Porter 4.5%, in the Kelham Island Tavern ... again self explanatory, again delicious.
Neepsend Lubin 5.2%, in the Red Deer, an excellent oak smoked wheat porter.
Black Sheep Milk Stout 4.4%, in the Dove and Rainbow. I love this but have only ever seen it in bottles before.

| Rochdale last night.
Visited the Baum for only the second time, although the beer of the evening was Wily Fox Dark Flagon 4.4% in the Flying Horse, a wonderful rum porter.

| Almost forgot a fantastic find in Wakefield on Friday in the Hop ... Beartown Creme Bearlee 4.8%, caramel, vanilla and molasses combining to create a delicious stout. Up there with the very best.

| Always enjoy York;
Half Moon Port Out 4.6%, a porter was a good start in the Maltings.
Other highlights were a couple of old favourites, Courage Directors 4.8%, in the Hole In The Wall (pre-match) and Leeds Brewery Midnight Bell 4.8% in the Eagle & Child (post-rugby).
Northern Whisper Beltie, a stout 4.8% in the York Tap was also worthy of a mention.

| Took the opportunity to pop in to the Boot and Shoe at Ackworth before the match. Had a pint of the house bitter brewed by Marstons and badged as Boot and Shoe Brew 3.8%.
The pub has had quite a makeover since my last visit.

| Took a detour on the way back from the match to call at Hamelsworde Brewery & Tap, Hemsworth. They had, and I sampled, their Spanish Stout 4.2% which had a roasted malt flavour with a hint of liquorice.

| Highlights of a successful visit to Wolverhampton for the racing (Monday evening) ...
Woodforde's Red Admiral 4.0%, a pleasant malt and fruit combination, in the Moon Under Water.
Gloucester Brewery Cascade 4.2%, another brew combining malt and fruit. A very nice easy drinking bitter, in the Hogshead.
