Look to be having 20-odd different guest christmas ales over the next month. They let me have one as my free drink with my beer and burger too

So do I, unless they go over the top like with the Plum Pudding

A couple of mentions from a visit to town on Wednesday ...

Acorn Kashmir 4.7% (in the Gatehouse) ... dark, malty and spicy but nice fruit flavours too. Will be keeping my eye out for this one.

Brewdog Tokyo 18.2% bottle (in Cask Corner) ... oak aged stout ... basically rocket fuel and not cheap either ... probably a once-in-a-lifetime venture for me.

Thorne Brewery will be bringing out Darleys Ghost again soon. Watch out for this one, it's an absolute belter.

Darleys Ghost is now on in the Yorkshire Grey, the Salutation and soon to be on at the Masons Arms. Had a very nice pint of Coal Black Porter in the Masons yesterday too.

Abbot Reserve sampled (again) in the Gatehouse on Mad Friday

Been to the Half Moon Inn at Willingham by Stow ( on the B1241 between Gainsborough and Lincoln ) and sampled their rather wonderful Grafters' Wobble Gob. Liked it so much I brought the rest of the barrel home with me! The brewery is in a shed next door and the chap was adding nutmeg, cinnamon and candied peel to their Xmas brew, Greetings, as I waited for him to decant mine. Smelt divine! Never had a bad beer yet from there.
