SN Spitfire was on good form in the Beverley Court on Wednesday.

Robinsons Unicorn 4.2% in the Tut
Thorne Best 3.9% in the Angel
Muirhead Ruby Jewel 3.9% in Cask Corner
last night

Midnight Bell 4.8% in The Salutation yesterday. Completely won over by this wonderful Mild.

Fantastic stuff.

One of my all time favourites (as I may have said on here a time or two



).

Several pints of Milestone Dark Galleon ABV 5.4 at the Bluecoat, Rotherham. Good stuff.

Last week, Great Newsome Pricky Back Otchan, a nice hoppy pale ale at a very snowy White Horse Farm Inn at Rosedale Abbey in the NY Moors. Then North Riding Peasholm Pale Ale at the N Riding Hotel, Scarborough.

Visited two Ponty pubs on the way to Wakefield on Sunday. Had a Black Sheep 3.8% in one place which I can't remember the name of (down the main shopping street though next door to a bookies I think?). Before that we went to the excellent The Broken Bridge (a Weatherspoons), had the Moorhouse Pontus Fractus 4%, and the Acorn Brewery Old Moor Porter 4.4% (a stout). Definitely decided that I'm not really that big a stout fan, but the other two were excellent.

The Beverley near Hull mate?

No, the Beverley Court Inn at Edenthorpe on the outskirts of Doncaster.

Ah I see. Beverley is actually meant to be great for pubs (inc The Warton Arms on the way to Beverley if you're coming from Hull) but never been round the town itself for a beer, will have to put that right at some point...

I had a couple of hours at Ilkley beer festival last friday afternoon. It was slightly bizarre, the whole afternoon is a corporate sponsorship thing where (mainly) Leeds' big legal, financial & property companies try to outdo each other by wearing rugby yawnion tops with their names emblazened across them (why it is yawnion & not soccer, league or cricket tops is an intersting debate). Apart from that it was great, all the beer was free, as was an endless supply of Lishman's pies. As my time was short (& you could barely move) I concentrated on local ales, both geographically & within the halls; all were good, most I've since forgotten the name of, though the clear winner, among those I had not tried before, was Gooseye (Keighley) Chinook. A fantastic pale beer.

still cutting down on your beer intake mate ?



or you back to being a complete p***head !!!

Bombadier in reasonable form in the Bay Horse (Bentley) in recent days.
