Splendid stuff  *medal
After a roaring start I rather fell off last year. I'd a bit where I didn't update some I had, then wasn't quite sure, and just never got back to it. Perfection being the enemy of good.
I've started the New Year with some new beers, but am currently lacking a bit of enthusiasm.

I am raring to go :-), in fact two new pubs already, plus a couple of very nice stouts, and a NQ pub crawl lined up for the last week of January. A Wet January :-).

One very nice new pub in an unexpected spot. Westfield shopping centre Stratford. En route to the London Stadium we stumbled upon Tap East and had three lovely beers there. But they are for 2024 list
To complete 2023
121 Twitchell a bitter from Buntingford brewery
122 Rocking Rudolph a ruby ale from Hardy Hanson
123 Oscar Wilde a lovely mild from Mighty Oak. I do like this beer

Most impressive. I've failed at the first hurdle as I have already forgotten to log any beers or pubs visited since Jan. 1. Having said that - I think I have only visited one pub this year anyway. Will assume it's just the one and log the beers as far as I recall from the weekend!

Sounded like a big night if you can remember 1 pub but there might have been more!
