Made a return visit to the Queens Crafthouse yesterday and had the Bad Co Satisfaction 6.7%. A very nice brown ale but you wouldn't want more than a couple.

As an aside from the Spoons Christmas festival, I encountered the very enjoyable Bootleg Brew Co Back Street 4.3% at the Plough, Croft (outskirts of Warrington). A dark amber ale which includes amongst its ingredients, maple syrup.

A further two Spoons Christmas festival ales yesterday;

Butcombe Chris Moose 4.1%, a deep red best bitter, in the Rawson Spring, Hillsborough.

Oakham Inferno 4.0%, a golden ale, in the Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield. Not a clue why this is included as a Christmas ale?
