Next up, Acorn Old Moor Porter 4.4%.

No surprises here, a regular in the 'Spoons in Doncaster and a beer which never disappoints. Rich and creamy, this is a Victorian-style coffee-flavoured porter with a hint of liquorice.

Third Festival Ale today (putting me in mind of the ill-fated Flying Scotsman on Silver Street) is Chantry Brewery's Special Reserve 6.3%.

Referred to as an 'old' or 'traditional' ale, this sweet dark strong ale is toffee and chocolate flavoured.

Over to our Gatehouse correspondent, oh yes, that's still me ...

Fuggle Bunny 24 Carrot 6.0%, hoppy and citrusy (if that's a word), I guess I'd have to refer to this as a strong IPA.

Still in the Gatehouse, Little Critters Nutty Ambassador 6.0% ... this is just delicious, a chocolate and hazelnut stout, what's not to like!

Yes, I know I've had it before.

Still with the Red Lion offerings;

Geeves Fully Laden 6.0%, this one is an English IPA badged as a World IPA. Strong and hoppy with fruit flavours.

Over to the Gatehouse;

Stancill Ginger Pale 4.0%, a sweet and spicy ale predominantly about the ginger.

Still in the Gatehouse;

Dukeries Northern Rising 4.7%, malty with fruit, chestnut and toffee in the mix.

Very nice, we appear to have accepted Worksop in to South Yorkshire ....

Couple of ales in Spouters Corner, Wood Green en-route to the rugby ....

Sambrooks Wandle 3.8%, a very palatable best bitter.

Nethergate Mary's Ruby Mild 4.5%, second time in about a week, wonderful.

Across the road to the Nags Head, ended up with Wells Bombadier which probably tells a story.
