@MacB, how goes the Prince of Wales in FB? Should be the beer festival soon as far as I can remember.... many years since I worked in the area but always excellent beers on tap!
I have missed a few opportunities to add to this thread this weekend.
There was the guest beer at The Station pub in Codsall on Saturday. It was the logo that caught my eye; none other than the Purple Moose Brewery first encountered on holiday in Wales. This was their Elderflower Ale. No photo but a very good Summer type beer but I didn't detect much in the way of elderflowers.
A bottle of the strong mild that I pictured a while back much later in the evening.
Today was my son's charity cricket tournament. One of the club's sponsors is the Joules brewery and they had the beer bus there. It would not be in my nature not to support such an excellent enterprise! A pint of Slumbering Monk is a fine drink. As an added bonus we won a draw prize that is nothing less than a guided tour of the brewery in Market Drayton.
Now finally to tonight. I am about to write a long email letting an elderly (and bored) relative catch up on our Summer news. I'll be breaking from that to continue tying a veritable swarm of daddy long legs for my Autumn trout fishing and also to drink this.

A good beer that I don't think I have tried before. I must say that their idea of an 'Amber Bitter' varies a lot from mine! I'll consider it a bonus as I prefer darker beers as a rule.
I'm sure it's a nice beer, but the label and name make me despair of the more traditional end of English brewing.
I've had a few Hunter beers being down here in Devon and sadly I have only enjoyed the full bore. Fairly traditional ales and not that exciting!Comedy names are a bit of a no no for me, gets trickier trying to avoid them though, so many!
