Found a couple of new (at least to me) interesting brews whilst in Horwich on Sunday after the Swinton match ...

Lytham Brewery Royal 4.4% in the Bowling Green, a gorgeous malty ruby ale.
Hook Norton Lion 4.0% in the Crown, a bronze beer with citrus & malt influences.

Tried a couple of pale beers last night in the Tut ...

Penpoint Brewery Shipwreck Coast 4.4%
Camerons Gold Bullion 4.3%

Although not strictly to my taste both were ok in moderation.

A couple of decent pints last night ...

Welbeck Abbey Red Feather 3.9% in the Red Lion (malt and caramel flavours)
Cottage Overlord 4.4% in the Yorkshire Grey (more of a hoppy one but went down well).

Cask Corner had on yesterday the interestingly named Scargill Stout 5.0% from the Imperial Brewery at Mexborough and the Olde Angel had the absolutely delicious Bath Ales Gem 4.1% (a personal favourite)

Tried a couple of World Cup themed beers which are currently available in the Tut n Shive;

Taylors They Drink It's All Over 4.2%
Cottage Goalll 4.1

Neither totally to my taste but slight preference for the Cottage brew.

Bath Gem still available in the Angel
