Worcester Beer and Cider Festival Friday 2.30pm till sometime o'clock, can't give you a report (obvious reasons are Cider Block ) Top Venue, Top day and evening and My God them Country Folk can drink. Gawd knows if there was owt left for the Saturday session.
Bridlington last weekend ... sampled a number of Wold Top brews (Bitter, Wold Liz & 52-12) the best of which, Wold Liz, was on special offer in the Prior John (W'spoons) at £1.09 per pint.
Also had a very nice Porter, Big River Brewery's Sailmaker Porter 5.2% in The Telegraph.
Tap & Spile to kick off the evening ... a couple of pints of Strongarm Ruby Red Ale whilst a band called Snatch played a mixture of Green Day, Thin Lizzy and even Monty Python (all with a punk edge).
Finally got a pint of Wold Top Headland Red (missed out in Brid the previous weekend) in the Lord Rosebery (W'spoons).
Also spent time in the Angel ... York Terrier was the drink of choice.
As is the norm with trips to the Skolars, it was a few beers in Wood Green before kick off.
Spouters Corner (W'spoons) had a dozen or so Dons supporters in and as usual a good choice of real ales including a couple of favourites of mine, Bath Ales Gem and Adnams Broadside both of which went down very well.
A pint of Wells Bombadier (in the Goose) and it was off to the stadium.
Afterwards, back to Spouters for a quick pint of Gem before heading back to Central London for a very decent pint of Fullers London Pride in the Euston Flyer.

Not always a fan of Thwaites beer but their Half Nelson I have been thoroughly enjoying recently, a 4.4% pale ale.
