A visit to Leeds kicks off with Salamander Golden Salamander 4.5% in the Griffin.

Described as a premium pale ale, it's citrusy with a peppery aftertaste.

Next up, across the road in Tapped, the always welcome Chocolate Mint Stout from Thornbridge known as Baize 5.5% ... absolutely glorious!

Still in Tapped ... A Norwegian brew, Amundsen Marshmallow Psycho Cognac BA 12.3%, an Imperial Stout ... it would have been rude not to!

Brass Castle Bad Kitty 5.5%, in the Head of Steam, an old favourite which reminds me of Cask Corner.

Scarborough Arms, one of Leeds finest, and a Glasgow brew, Jaw Brew Fathom 4.0%.

Described as Dark and Deep, it falls onto the dark ale / mild category but is very palatable.

Leeds Brewery Tap, it had to be the wonderful Midnight Bell 4.8% ... one of the absolute best!

Nottingham yesterday for the racing.

A couple of pre-race drinks in the Canalhouse not far from the railway station.

Pheasantry Mikado Mild 5.0% and Ossett Black Forest Rateaux (you can see what they've done there) 4.5%. Both very enjoyable.

Also visited the Barley Twist, post racing, an outlet for Castle Rock Brewery and sampled their Sherwood Reserve, a Stout 4.5%.

Sheffield Tap en-route home;

Brass Castle Mob Rule 5.0%, an interesting raspberry and ginger farmhouse ale and the ever-reliable Tapped Stout 4.0% partaken of.

A flying visit to the Garden Gate, Hunslet pre-match. It's a Leeds Brewery pub and their Best Bitter 4.3% is going down very nicely.

Even better if it was post match Just opened the first of three bottles for a fiver (Co-op) of Henry Westons Vintage Cider 8.2% in tribute to a cracking win. Good health everyone.
