Wanderer.

Mrs M recommends a Bottled beer from Wychwood brewery. Dunkel Fester, 4.4% dark & malty with a coffee and roasted nut finish (so it says on the lable). Any road she thinks you may enjoy. Its Wychwoods Halloween special.

The good news its at Aldi and £1.25 a bottle. Cheers.

Had a delicious ruby ale from the Stancill brewery in the Corner Pin last night. India 4.0% is deliciously malty with hints of biscuit and toffee.

Got themselves a well deserved reputation have Stancil brewery. Their BB is the business IMO.

Caledonian Trick or Treat 4.4% sampled in the Black Bull last night was very enjoyable. Malty and spicy and very much to my taste.

Cask Corner had Thornbridge McConnels 5.0% available yesterday. It's a very pleasant vanilla stout.

Had two excellent ales whilst visiting Bridlington today. Firstly Wold Top's Headland Red 4.3% in the Brunswick Hotel and then Bradfield's Farmers Brown Cow 4.2% in the Prior John. Marvellous!

Sampled three very nice ales in town last night.

Charles Wells Poppy 3.6% (in the Corner Pin) - A malty amber ale and not lacking in taste even at 3.6%. 10p from each pint sold donated to the Royal British Legion.

Box Steam Chuffin Ale 4.0% (Corner Pin) - Smooth and rich, a dark amber best bitter.

Whitby Saltwick Nab 4.2% (Leopard) - A dark ruby ale with toffee and a hint of vanilla.

A couple of very pleasant ales tasted at the weekend in the Warrington area.

Firstly, the Swan at Walton's very own The Wire 3.8%, dark brown in colour and malty & spicy in taste.

Also, Weetwood Ambush 4.8% in the Ring O'Bells, Daresbury. An amber coloured premium ale with caramel and fruits amongst the flavours.

Nice to see that Doncaster has another real ale outlet in the shape of the Queens Crafthouse, Sunny Bar (the former Queens Hotel in a past life).

They had available a number of the Bad Co brews last night but I ended up trying Craic Fox from the Slightly Foxed brewery. A very enjoyable Irish Stout at 4.5%.

Also enjoyed Chantry's Two Magpies Porter 4.5% in the Flying Scotsman and Caledonian Cold Comfort (a Winter Ale) 4.5% in the Red Lion.
