I do like Theakstons bitter. It maybe traditional but it usually hits the spot.

It’s been a busy few weeks and I have drunk a little more than I should.

71 Anthem a golden ale from St Austell
72 Brewers gold from Crouch Vale. Always good
73 Coronation Greene king golden ale ( a bit dull)
74 Owls of the unexpected an amber ale from Mighty Oak
75 Oscar Wilde a mild from mighty oak
The last two were excellent from the MO tap room in Maldon
76 Aromantica from Brewsters an ipa
77 Ruby a mild from Rudgate
78 Hanger 17 a bitter from Oakham ( lovely session ale)
79 Cornish best bitter St Austell
80 Wychert a very good malty session bitter from Vale brewery
81 Twin Soring a pale ale from New river brewery

82 Hopfest an ipa from Mad Squirrel

83 mighty mole a bitter from Tring
84 Pintail pale from Moongazer brewery

You’ve nearly reached the century of cask!

Over the last month since reaching my 100 I’ve been drinking beers I know I like rather than seeking new experiences but I have had a few new ones
101 Hopenden pale ale from Farr brewery
102 Golden from 3 Brewers
103 courage best An old favourite was still as good as I remember
104 foundation bitter from East London brewery

105 Resolution golden ale from Mad Squirrel

106 Bateman XB bitter - sadly not well kept

I would rather pubs didn’t try to serve cask if they can’t keep it well.

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.
