Spoons Real Ale Festival 27/10/2014;

Shepherd Neame Whitstable Bay Pale Ale 3.9% bitter (Gatehouse, Doncaster)

They also had a very nice non-festival beer, Dukeries Mining Stout 4.5%.

Nothing new in either the Red Lion or the Angel - hopefully some different ones in the coming days.

The Tut has Old Nutty Hen on again ... gorgeous!

Spoons Real Ale Festival 30/10/2014;

Abbaye Du Val-Dieu Abbaye Blonde 6.0% strong bitter brewed at Shepherd Neame brewery (Red Lion, Doncaster)
Banks Botanical Beer 4.2% speciality (Angel, Doncaster)

The Belgian brew was quite deceptive, pale yellow in colour but tasted more like a best bitter.

The Banks brew uses gruit rather than hops.

Both were very drinkable.

Spoons Real Ale Festival 31/10/2014;

Caledonian Trojan Horse 5.5% strong ale (Red Lion, Doncaster) ... Very nice, one of my favourites of the festival, a nice malty flavour.

Away from the festival, the Tut currently has Cottage Trick or Treat 4.4% which was very enjoyable too.
