Some good beers there and I do agree Butty bach is lovely Ocelot Spleens but to be very picky are 3 and 17 on the cask list the same?
For the sake of equality If anyone spots an error or duplicate on my list please do let me know

About This Thread

Maintained by Ocelot Spleens
and here we are in 2024....

I still really like a pint.

I think this is not too controversial health wise. Lots of beers about these days. I interpret it as different beers within 2023, and you can, if you like; avoid beers you have had before, but as ever the list is yours to do what you like.
