Thornbridge Seaforth at the Wye Bridge, Buxton. An excellent IPA...but disappointingly, no Axe Edge or black Rocks from the local brewery

Stumbled upon Little Valley 'Python' 6% bottled pale ale this weekend. Organic brew from Hebden Bridge. Excellent stuff.

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.

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.
