Tzara (Thornbridge, 4.8%)
A bit like a slightly lighter, sweeter Jaipur, I think. It has the lemony bitterness of the former, with a hint of sweet fruitiness in the taste as well. It''s also very slightly lighter. Rather nice, but feeling a little lacking in the malty flavours, which might have added a little more heft.
Mad Goose (Purity, 4.2%)
Lighter in body than the Thornbridge, betraying its position as a gold/pale, perhaps. Nonetheless, a good combination of hop and malt, with the former dominant and tangerine-y. At a lower abv, we'd sing its praises as a session brew.
No Mrs M on this trip, but I think she'd have liked these, perhaps pointing out that they were more appropriate to a warm summer evening than a cold January night.

Start local, maybe? Google tells me that Hop Stuff brewery is in Welling.
Speaking for my own experience, there's a microbrewery in Crewe, and there's quite a few brewers in Cheshire and Shropshire. I follow their Facebook pages &c, and pick up their brews as and when they appeal to me. Finding the local outlets that offer more interesting stuff (we have two great bottle shops here, and at least a couple of good pubs) is a good bet too.

Mad Goose is first-rate stuff, I'd put it alongside Harviestoun B&T as what a gold/pale is all about.

It's in Woolwich but not exactly a million miles away. I think I'll take a look next weekend if I get the chance.

I've been surviving on this stuff in January
It's rather nice. Not as nice as John Smiths stuff but I can't get that and this is a local brewery. Plus, as the dog pointed out, my local, which encourages dogs to bring their owners in, serves it on draught or draft as I first wrote.
Like Rich and Marmion, I'm on 21 days dry in January: Like them; not consecutively.

I clicked "like" on both posts but must confess they are two breweries I'd cross the road to avoid.
Especially Jimmy Willy Lees
