Had some Wentworth Challenge yesterday before the match.
Very nice.
There is a beer festival on at Wetherspoon until the middle of April and all real ales are £1.49 a pint.

Did you get yourself a new one you little complainer you?

I certainly did.
That's my policy at Wetherspoon.
If it looks poop, take it back, they will happily change it.
It's a result of some people misguidedly trying to put too much ale in the glass and killing the head.

Yes, a good turnout and an enjoyable evening.

50 different real ales spread over 2 1/2 weeks.

Youngs , in the Red Lion , tasted pretty good to me on Sat Night . £1.38 a pint went down well too.

Took in Wetherspoons Real Ale Festival last night at the Gatehouse in Priory Walk. The following were available ...

Batemans Spring Goddess (4.2%)
Brains Reverend James (4.5%)
Greene King Abbot Reserve (6.5%)
Harviestoun Old Engine Oil (4.5%)
JW Lees Brewers Dark (3.5%)
Wadworth Horizon (4.0%)

The Reverend James is a particular favourite of mine but it's fair to say that both the Abbot Reserve and the Old Engine Oil were both excellent drinks as well. For a dark ale, I found the Brewers Dark a little tasteless. The other two were both golden ales with slight preference being for the Spring Goddess.

With no Dons match Sunday afternoon it was another trip to Wetherspoons. Festival Ales available were;

Caledonian Chocolate Drop (3.8%)
Highgate Highland Whisky Ale (4.4%)
Marstons Sunbright Ale (3.8%)
Titanic Last Porter Call (4.9%)
and a Belgian Ale ... Ecaussinnes Cookie Beer (5.0%)

additionally available but not listed as a Festival Ale was Wentworth Bluebell Bitter (4.0%).

Popped into the Lord Roseberry in Scarborough on Sunday and sampled Cain's Bock, which I would definitely drink again.

On Saturday, it was the Scalby Mill Inn at Scalby where I drank Wold Top North Bay Premium, which was a quaffable bitter and two light-coloured beers, the tasty Ind Coope Burton Ale and York Decade, which is a very light citrusy, flowery beer and was my beer of the weekend.

Also consumed a couple of good bottled ales, the porter-style Dent's T'owd Tup at a stonking 6% and Ossett Excelsior, a premium bitter, which is good on draught too.

Finally got to sample the Yo Ho Tokyo Black (referred to earlier in this thread) last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Full list of festival ales available last night in the Gatehouse ...

Cains Bock Beer (4.5%)
Caledonian Chocolate Drop (3.8%) again
Hook Norton 303 AD (4.0%)
Okells Dr Okells Eastern Spice (4.5%)
plus
three International Ales;
Namyslow Original Plum Beer (4.0%) from Poland
Stone California Double IPA (7.0%) from America
Yo Ho Tokyo Black (5.0%) from Japan

It surprised me a little, but I really enjoyed the Plum Beer - sweet and aromatic in flavour and ruby in colour.
