Bolton, Saturday (26/01/13) evening.

Just had a week of Bath Ales Gem 4.1% in the Drum - Gorgeous stuff.

Greene King IPA on now with Thwaites Lancaster Bomber due next to replace the Rev. James when that runs out.

Broadside and OP at The Harvey Arms at Finningley, both in top condition. Just one little gripe, get the log fire on more, when its a tad cool outside, and it would be a top notch boozer.

Greenfield Vanilla Stout 5.2%, Robinsons Roadrunner 4.0% & Moorhouses Black Cat 3.4% in the Up Steps (Wetherspoons).
