Friday evening in Doncaster ...

The Queens had two ales from the 2 Roses Brew Co, Darton, Barnsley;

Fall (Autumnal Bitter) 4.3%, malty, nutty and smoky ... very nice.
Nailmaker 4.3%, not the most flavour-packed porter but still nice enough.

The Red Lion had Saltaire Triple Chocoholic 4.8% ... always welcome!

The Corner Pin had two ales from the Yorkshire Heart Brewery, Nun Monkton, York;

Hearty Bitter 3.7%, a chestnut brown toffee flavoured bitter ... enjoyable.
Blackheart Stout 4.8%, roasted coffee and molasses, very nice indeed.

The Looking Glass, Warrington had a local brew available on Saturday evening which was the sort of ale I could happily drink on a regular basis. Coach House Cracker Barrel 4.6%, however, is a seasonal ale sometimes badged as Cracker Barrel Bonfire Brew. A light brown, rich and malty yet also fruity bitter.

Just a few yards away, the Lower Angel had the ever reliable and always very enjoyable Rudgate Ruby Mild 4.4% ...result!

Fullers Damson Porter 4.6% in the Corner Pin last night ... one of my '5 a day' ... apparently, I don't do fruit.

On the subject of bottles, I've just opened a Brains Spill The Beans (Coffee Porter) ... delicious, would love to find this in cask format.

Brains brewery also own Coffee#1 which is a Coffee shop chain mainly in the South West. Their shop in Weymouth is without doubt the finest coffee house I have experienced. The coffee (my second favourite drink) was one of the best and their range of cakes and pastries unreal.

And no I have no intention of hijacking the thread into some sort of Mr Bean
