Paid a visit to the Unity Brew House at Suckley on Saturday during a short break in Worcester. One of the joint co-founders and owner Sarah gave us a tour of the brewery and we sampled two of their brews.

The Silkie Amber is an excellent amber-coloured malty bitter at 4.2% but even that was surpassed by one of the best porters I have had the pleasure of.

Phoenix Porter 5.2% is a stunning dark ale with chocolate and molasses amongst it's flavours.

The brewery is a relatively new venture having been set up in late 2016 but I wish Sarah and partner Hani every success. If you are ever in the area, check them out, you'll be made very welcome.

The Flying Scotsman in Doncaster has just gone down dramatically in my estimation. Having mentioned their usual CAMRA discount, I was advised that 'I've never heard of it, is it just a Doncaster thing, I usually work in Rotherham'. To my right were a number of leaflets which offered the opportunity to join CAMRA. Shambolic!!!!
