I also enjoyed an excellent pint of Centurion's Ghost this week from York - easily thier best beer imo - dare i say better than the famous 'terrier'?Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512660051158275112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-43985979587644338892008-07-02T13:22:00.000+01:002008-07-02T13:22:00.000+01:00Must agree with John re the Saltaire stuff they ju...Must agree with John re the Saltaire stuff they just get better and better. So far this year my number 1 has been The Afro (4.8%) from Mordue which will hopefully be brewed again someday if there's any justice in the world. Also in the frame is the now ubiquitous Jaipur IPA and anything by mighty Leeds of course. Oh and Roosters have had a return to form with their superb Boneshaker this spring!Ale Lousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450424254610095173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-8273708765866981342008-06-30T19:53:00.000+01:002008-06-30T19:53:00.000+01:00I'm with John re Saltaire especially after the Dro...I'm with John re Saltaire especially after the Drop Inn fest this weekend. Roosters were back on form this Easter with their awesome Boneshaker IPA and of course I can drink anything those Leeds boys brew till it comes out of my ears! My love affair with Thornbridge Jaipur is still burning strong despite a growing familiarity with it, but top of the pops this year so far has to be The Afro from geordie brewers Mordue. This 4.8% grapefruit juice was a one-off but will surely be resurrected if there's any justice in the world!Ale Lousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450424254610095173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-16439448115854705422008-06-29T16:40:00.000+01:002008-06-29T16:40:00.000+01:00John - Good show!
