Ventured out to the Shoulder of Mutton at Kirk Smeaton (again) for an hour yesterday. Black Horse Shoulder of Mutton Ale. Delicious!

Had a mini pub crawl last night. The Queen's Hotel at East Markham just off the A1/A57 en route to Lincoln, an Everard's pub where I sampled the very nice Castle Rock Pale Ale and the somewhat sickly sweet Everard's Original.
Onwards to the Turnpike at Bawtry where a very good St Austell's Tribute was sampled and finally to the Eagle and Child at Auckley where an excellent pint of Anglo Dutch's Dusk 'Til Dawn, was tasted.

Ventured to the Old Market Hall at Mexborough and sampled (twice), Uncle Sam's Independence Ale which seems to have hints of melon or peach and is very quaffable at 4.7% plus Mauldon's White Adder, which tasted rather too much of caramel for my liking but may well have been too big a contrast to the Uncle Sam's, so am reticent to write it off.

5.6% at £2.45..........................that equates to normal strength tasteless poop (like John's) at £1.60 a pint which you pay well over £2 for..
Superb!!!

My wife had a Hobgoblin .......no not me.

Had a pint of Ringwood Old Thumper in the Sun Inn this evening and they charged me £1.96 for it. Result!

Couple of pints in an old haunt afterwards ... John Smiths Magnet in the Mallard.

How so?
And yet you know the price.....that's bordering on criminal that is exploiting someones mistake.

You will have noticed the hike at the Mallard then......did you take your chequebook?

Well the normal price is £2.45......... he paid £1.96 which is 20% less.
I will have to investigate.
