Add: Hallion (Whitewater); Hopper Valley, West Berkshire Brewery; Neapolitan (Northern Monk).
The last named I picked up by with some scepticism in Morrisons - but it was going cheap. Described as an ice-cream pale ale, against my expectations it did manage somehow to taste of Neapolitan ice-cream and beer, and be enjoyable.

I need to try that one I think - I guess it's in a can rather than a bottle, I tend to not usually look at cans but think I need to take more interest.

There may have been an element of trying to get as many different beers as possible! Pick of the trip was the Tyris Original, a blonde ale supped whilst waiting for the Easter procession in the Marinera area of Valencia.

3 new beers for me last night. As in, never had them before in my life.
Goose Island Beer Co
IPA 5.9% - Supposed to be "hoppy, citrus, smooth" but all I could taste was sour dregs, as if I'd poured the contents of the drip-tray into a glass*
Shipyard Brewery, Portland, Maine
American IPA 5% - Supposed to be citrus with a note of grapefruit but in reality it tasted like chewing grapefruit peel. Very bitter and slightly unpleasant.
American Pale Ale 4.5% - Finally, one I liked  Tasted hoppy and citrussy and very slightly of gooseberry. I will buy more of these.

Just reviewing my list and I am sure there are a few more cask/draught to add since I posted number 35 but of course I didn't check at the time if they were 'new/different' so I will have to give it some thought. Here's one from yesterday though  36 Tilford - Hankley Gold 3.9% (I actually drank BaronBR's by mistake he had bought the Punchbowl Pale for me but we always try what the other one is drinking and I forgot to swap the glasses back!)

Cask weekend.
Sole Survivor, Heritage Brewery, 4.3%, a classic straightforward bitter, very rare these days.
Moonraker Mild, Empire Brewery, 3.8%, a bit stout as in very dark crystal malt. Good.
Hopnik Citra IPA, Robinson's, 4.7%, pretty much an IPA, which is rare for Robinson's.
Can
Major Melter, pale/neipa, 5.1%, polly's Brewery, very nice indeed.
54

Had a Brewdog Punk IPA last night with our BBQ.
That and Goose have become our running beers!
Dunno what number I am on, my notes are too far away. (I have run 20 miles today, everything is too far away!)

46 today with Loweswater Gold. Think the sample of it I had in a pub in Langdale was better than today's bottle.
