I am still in the Palladium and supping a pint that Gary would dislike ... what type of beer is it?
Its name is Pacifica.

Cairngorm Wildcat 5.1%, was a welcome treat in the Gatehouse, Doncaster yesterday.

Acorn Barnsley Bitter 3.8% in the Little Plough v Stancill Barnsley Bitter 3.8% in the Corner Pin. Wouldn't say no to either, but 'advantage' Stancill .

The Rev. James is still on good form in the Pin too.

The Stancill version of BB is a thing of beauty, if you get chance to read the blurb that goes with the ale they have done their research and a half. Mind you £2.50 a pint in the Little Plough for the Acorn version is quality.

Exmoor brews featured yesterday with their strong ale Stag 5.2%, partaken of in the Red Lion, Doncaster and their Best Bitter Fox, 4.2% sampled in the Corner Pin.

If I remember correctly, I've only previously had three ales from this Somerset brewery, the other being Beast (a strong dark ale).

Jennings Sneck Lifter 5.1%, also on good form in the Pin.

Tornado Jet RAF 100 an English bitter at 4.5% brewed by Milestone sampled in The Coliseum Picture Theatre at Cleggy. Very nice indeed. Mrs M had a couple of Cuban storms (Rum)

A couple of excellent beers in the Lower Angel, Warrington yesterday. An old favourite in Brains SA 4.2% and a new one to me, Derwent Brewery Marshall Port Stout 5.2%.

Later, I was presented with a bottle of Batemans Mocha 6.0% to accompany my evening meal, both absolutely delicious

Bridgehouse Porter 4.5% in the Red Lion, Doncaster this afternoon was very nice, a dark ruby ale with toffee and malt flavours.

Welbeck Abbey Portland Black 4.5% in the Tut n Shive wasn't so nice, which was highlighted all the more when the Corner Pin had the same drink available and the quality was so obvious by comparison.
