Rooster's Nectar 5.2% & Harviestoun Old Manor 4.6% in the Red Lion yesterday evening.

The latter, a dark-coloured old ale, was very enjoyable

46 out of 50 done now.

Cotleigh Redfire 4.8% in the Gatehouse last night, very nice indeed.

2 to go, but running out of time and opportunity.

So it looks like close but no cigar, 49 out of 50 it is.

Favourite International ales were the Norwegian Oatmeal Stout, the Dutch Spiced Ale and the Smoked Porter from Guam.

Of the 'home' brews, Theakston Infallible, Oakleaf 10 Little Acorns, Wood's Ebony, Harviestoun Old Manor, Cotleigh Redfire, Maxim John Bull Stout & Wadworth Cooper's Vice ticked the most boxes but an honourable mention must go to Belhaven Old Gold which was a very pleasant surprise.

... and the one I missed ...

Kelham Island Wild Rider IPA.

Quite an irony since I spent a fair amount of time in Sheffield during the festival.

York yesterday afternoon started with a bang;

Fallen Brew Co Chew Chew 6.0% (described as a Salted Caramel Milk Stout) in Pivni.
Redemption Rising Sun 5.0% in the Cross Keys and Ilkley Rosa Ostara 4.6% in the Punch Bowl followed. The latter a gamble on my part considering my taste and its description as a Rose Petal Ale (brewed with real rose petals).
Bad Co Smashing Pumpkin 5.5% was next in the Maltings, whilst the final tipple of the afternoon was Anarchy Brew Co Smoke Bomb 3.9% in the York Tap. The Anarchy brew being a lovely smoked ale with hints of toffee.

Camerons Thirst Blood 4.3% was interesting in Cask Corner and Sonnet 43 Bourbon Milk Stout 4.3% enjoyable in the Tut.
