Choice is a good thing right?

Off here over the weekend...will I have to make notes?

Yes , of course. Tick 'em off in true CAMRA style


Random few;

Ascot Aureole 4.0% - nice, but more a summer beer

Brightwater Wild Orchid Cherry Porter 4.0% Sounds nice

Dark Star Hophead 3.8% - a good 'un

Had the first, was good. Didn't try the other two, sure I've had the last one previously. I had some other ones, and they were good, including "side pocket for a toad" and one named after the farmer islands. Details are... Hazy.

Several real ales are naturally cloudy these days

I you like a nice hoppy session beer then try the Red Cat Prowler. I know the brewer well. It's my current Tuesday night five or six pinter session beer.

I've added that one to my 'to do' list. As it's Winchester , there may be a chance of finding some around here (Berks)

I will have a word with the brewer and see how is stocking it.

Alehouse, Reading - regular haunt

Castle Tap, Reading -= occasional visitor

Grumpy Goat, Reading - this is a shop, so may get a bottle or several here

I just looked up the Grumpy Goat...wow that looks like my kinda shop!

Try something from Siren Brewery while you are there, I see they stock it. The are localish to you near Wokingham. Their Caribbean Chocolate Cake Stout is amazing!

I've had a fair bit of Siren - local Waitrose does 'Soundwave'
The Calypso is a bit...challenging , very sour. They vary the hops in that one so may change between batches- I've had it in Reading at the Oakford Social, along with Liquid Mistress
