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

It does, the most unremarkable pint ever in the Turnpike at Bawtry.

Liverpool this evening after today's events at the Reebok (I know, but it'll always be that to me) ...

First up a pint of Flagship Beer Silhouette 4.5%, a dark and dry coffee-flavoured roasted stout in the Ship & Mitre.

Mobberley Brewhouse 1924, an amber ale at 4.0% in Thomas Rigbys.

The Dead Crafty Beer Co. ...

Not truly real ale, a craft ale ( yes they can then charge more), Four Horsemen Mixed Berry Chocolate Stout 5.8% ... £4.50 per schooner (yep, 2/3rds pint).

The clue was in the brewer's name.

I quite like the image of Wanderer supping out of a schooner, little right finger extended

Dr Hexter's Healer, a very nice strong bitter at 5.0% with a hint of marmalade from the West Berkshire Brewery, in the Dove & Rainbow, Sheffield.

Another Brewery which is new to me, Fyne Ales from Cairndow, Scotland have Vital Spark 4.4% available in the Sheffield Tap.

Curiously, it's referred to as an English Mild on the Untappd app but is badged as 'very dark rich ale'.

Wouldn't put anyone off especially if you like the flavour of berries.
