Spoons Festival ales 05/11/2014;

Butcombe Crimson King 4.3% best bitter (Gatehouse, Doncaster)
Adnams 1659 Smoked Ruby Beer 4.7% speciality (Gatehouse, Doncaster)

The Butcombe brew was very nice. The Adnams was the beer of the festival for me ... absolutely stunning!

One for you Wanderer if you get the chance. Try the Pumpkin Porter at the Brewery Tap, not usually my type of drink but it was recommended and I'm pleased to pass this onto you because it went down very well. Ian and his good lady wife have IMO an excellent set up there, and the range of Ciders and Perries are as good if not better than anywhere in Town.

When I first read what you'd written I thought I may have had it once before. That was confirmed yesterday evening when I recognised the AD71 prefix before having another. I concur, very drinkable.

Still spotting the odd residual one ...

Okells IPA 4.5% best bitter (Gatehouse, Doncaster)

I reckon that's 40 of the 50.

The Angel had a very nice Milestone ale available, Poppy Fields 4.0%. Similar to the same brewery's Rich Ruby.

Nice one, I did try the Gold Cup in there yesterday afternoon and thought
it was a winner (shocking pun I know)
