The Gatehouse had Thwaites Liberation on last night love it - I've only ever had it in bottles before.

Also sampled Galbraith's Mr G's Luncheon Ale (from New Zealand) in the Old Angel.

Signed off at the festival yesterday with ...

Anker Gouden Carolus Ambrio 8.0%
Purkmistr Bohemian Schwarzbier 4.8%
(in the Red Lion)
White Horse Volunds Hammer 5.0%
Butcombe Old Vic 4.2%

not a bad drink among them - did manage a pint of the Carolus Ambrio but in two half pint glasses (they're not allowed to sell it in pint glasses).

Leeds Gathering Storm, an absolute gem of a stout

Sampled two very nice pale ales at the Arkwright Arms in Ducky, namely Cathedral Lindum Pale Ale and Oldershaw Caskade.; both definitely worthy of attention.

Finally got my hands on the GBG and had the good fortune to find the Horse and Groom at Linby in Notts. Strangely, I'm grateful not for the beer but for one of the best chip butties I've ever had. Was in Donny last weekend, so had a couple in the Corner Pin, two excellently kept pints, Bateman's XXXB and Brakspear's Oxford Gold. Stout/porter a bit thin on the ground lately at the Bluecoat ( something I hope I've rectified for tomorrow ) so have been sampling some golden beers, the best ones of which were sampled today, Derventio's Venus and the ever-reliable Saltaire's Golden Republika.

It's a hard life

Looking forward to a couple of pints in Sheffield this evening. Will no doubt venture into the Lloyds Bar near to the City Hall (slight distraction from the drinking - Alice Cooper to see).

And if you come to the away game at Blackpool Panthers in 2010 best option currently is Ramsden Arms near Blackpool North rail station.
Today was Leyden Black Pudding, Burton Bridge Golden Delicious, and Beartown Bearskinfull. All excellent!!
