The Yarborough Hotel, Grimsby today;

Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA 5.6%, a golden IPA in strong ale territory. Decent.
Purity Warlord 5.0%, another IPA in strong ale territory, this one an amber coloured ale. I preferred this to the previous one.
Conwy Riptide 4.3%, a black IPA, a little on the bland side for my taste.

Just one left to find....

Grimsby back to Doncaster and then out to Leeds (trains happily running on time). The Untappd app reporting that the last one had been on in two 'Spoons in Leeds last night.

The Leeds Station Wetherspoons did indeed have;

Otter Springfest 4.0%, a sweet fruity golden ale brewed with German hops.

Full House in record time.

Post match in Newcastle yesterday was a bit of mixed bag.

The Mile Castle ('Spoons) seemed to have run out of most of the beers on display. Fortunately, they did have Adnams Gunhill 4.0%.

The Union Rooms is no longer a Wetherspoons, apparently sold in February 2017.

A first visit to the Newcastle Tap however yielded the excellent Titanic Plum Porter 4.9%, always very welcome.

Naylors Black & Tan (Porter & Bitter) 4.4%, a delicious nutty dark chestnut ale sampled in the Red Lion, Doncaster last night.

Also very enjoyable was Doncaster Brewery 1194 Charter, a porter at 5.5%, in the Brewery Tap.

Had a couple of very nice porters last night;

Sambrooks Powerhouse Porter 4.9% in the Red Lion, Doncaster and Ossett Brewery Progress Porter 4.4% in the Gatehouse.

The first was a delicious smoked coffee flavoured ale with the latter being an oaty and malty drink.
