Had an old favourite in the Old Angel this evening ... Wentworth Black Zac
and later a pint of Black Hole Cosmic in the Gatehouse.

Had a pint of Whim Hartington Ale, definitely worth a second tasting and Durham's White Ale, which was excellent, both sampled at the Arkwright Arms, Sutton-cum-Duckmanton.

Couple of Daleside brews sampled last night ...

Old Leg Over 4.1% in the Gatehouse and
Daleside Stout 4.2% in the Old Angel

then ventured to the Tonik festival mentioned earlier in the thread ...

Timothy Taylors Ram Tam 4.3%
Cairngorn Nessies Monster Mash 4.4%
Great Heck Dave (dark and very enjoyable - apparently) 3.9% and
a mystery beer which everyone is asked to donate 50p to charity for a guess at and the opportunity to win a gallon of beer. It tasted a little like York Brewery Centurion Ghost but probably wasn't.

also managed a pint of Courage Directors 4.8% in the Salutation.
