A couple more post-racing, both in the Mile Castle;

Steam Box Tunnel Vision 4.2%, an amber bitter and to my liking.

Maxim Time Lord 4.0%, a blonde ale, not quite my thing.

Journey break at York for a visit to the Tap (would have been rude not to);

Brew York Viking DNA 5.0%, a delicious smoked porter.

Marble Pint (yep, it's called Pint) 3.9%, a golden coloured session ale with hints of grapefruit and lemon grass.

Finished a good day off with a couple of excellent Stancill brews in the Corner Pin, Barnsley Bitter 3.8% (needs no explanation) and Black, a very enjoyable dark session ale 3.7%.

Stocks Old Horizontal 5.3% (Hallcross) and Welbeck Abbey Portland Black 4.5% (Tut n Shive) both on good form yesterday.

Another visit to Sheffield kicks off with my second ale this week from Brew York, following Viking DNA on Tuesday (York Tap), it's Tonkoko 4.3%, a milk stout in the Fat Cat at Kelham Island.

Next up, a visit to the Kelham Island Tavern and a pint of Half Moon Dark Masquerade, a mild at 3.6%.

We found the Wellington to be open (not always the case) so I've just had a pint of Neepsend Massa 5.1%, a dark, smokey, sweet stout. Very nice.

The Red Deer next and a delicious nectar-like brew from Titanic, a Chocolate and Vanilla Stout 4.5%. Just wonderful!

Titanic again in the Dove and Rainbow, this time the very enjoyable Plum Porter 4.9%.

Sheffield Tap ... Thornbridge (it almost had to be) Strawberry Lucaria 4.5 %, a stunning Strawberry Ice Cream Porter 4.5% .. superb!

Liverpool today for round two of the Illegal Eagles;

Rock The Boat (Sittin' On) The Dock, a dark ale 3.5% with chocolate and nuts, in the Lion Tavern.

Second tipple, Three Brothers Ruby Revolution 4.6%, chocolate and toffee flavours, in the Head of Steam.

Also last night, The Parker Brewery Barbarian Bitter 4.1%, nice and malty, in the Richard John Blackler.

Camerons Strongarm 4.0% (ruby ale) and Sadler's Peaky Blinder 4.4% (black IPA), both in the North Western, Liverpool and both perfectly acceptable.

The railway in donny town centre has timothy taylors boltmaker on a very nice ale and cask marque awarded

The Marketplace Alehouse and Deli appears to be changing hands from tomorrow. My money is on involvement from past owners of Cask Corner.
