Christmas social with the Craft Brewing Association attracted a good crowd from all over for a crawl round Derby.
Starting at the Babbington (Wetherspoons) they had a good selection as always with a number from Leatherbritches and so let's work through those was my decision. And so it came to pass that Dovedale, got followed by Hairy Helmet and finally Lemongrass and Ginger.
Long stroll next to Mr Grundy's Tavern for luch washed down with Falstaff's and Fistful of Hops followed by Fireside from Greene King.
Next one of my favourite's , the Flower Pot and a rare chance to try an 80/- beer from Spire (and well timed as I'd recently been judging one in that style (see earlier posting re Burton bottle swap). Also was the deceptive 7.5% (must be getting near Xmas) Zymosis from Headless.
Final port of call finds us in the Silk Mill for Wye Valley HPA and lestly Wentworth Stout and finally home.
Good day - cheers Ron.
