A couple of 'festival' ales en-route to the latest debacle at the Macron Stadium;

Central City Red Racer IPA 6.5% (Canada, brewed at Banks brewery) & Two Birds Sunset Ale 4.6% (Australia, brewed at Everards brewery) in the Robert Shaw at Westhoughton.

That's 9 of the 10 International brews sampled.

The second weekend of the 'festival' kicked off with the following last night;

Oakleaf 10 Little Acorns 4.4%, Greene King New Horizons IPA 6.0% & Liberation Sin Bin 3.7% in the Red Lion.
Wychwood King Goblin 6.0% & Nogne O Nordic Noir 4.5% (Norway, brewed at Wychwood brewery) in the Gatehouse.

All 10 International brews now ticked off.

The Oakleaf chestnut coloured mild was very nice and the King Goblin very enjoyable too.
