The would turn out to be the first of four beer related trips to Burton in just over 1 week, and on this occasion was for the October get together of the Burton Beer Circle. Traditions went out of the window with the Devonshire not doing food so I found myself on a bench near the college eating some rather wonderful fish and chips.
Meeting up in the Coopers I went for Hopback Entire Stout. Other beers available that night included Bass, Oakham Bishops Farewell, Worthington E and Red Shield but the rest of the evening was taken up with samples of the member's attempts at cloning Thornbridge Jaipur most of which were wonderful beers but all so different.
SH who was chairing advised us that there was a talk the next week on the tastes of brewing so some of us decided we would attend (see later entry.)
On the way back to the station, there was time for a shift half of Burton Ale in the Roebuck (Burton Ale House.)
