Still on staycation and this evening wanted to avoid cooking and also relaxing in pubs normally visited due toi some external agenda. Of to Burton it is and after fish and chips near the Town Hall, round the corner to the Burton Old Cottage Tavern (previously referred to on here by its old name.)
As with other recent visits, guest ales were selected and (whilst some noisy pork scratching par-takers complained of the size of their personal fly infestation) included Peakstones Chained Oak (on hearing which one regular asked, did I "want a padlock with that?") followed by the stronger Sea King from Coastal.
Next up was the Devonshire Arms for a couple of beers from its owners Burton Bridge (no guests on now I note) and which included their Porter (well it makes a change!) and also Bridge Bitter.
Final port of call was the Coopers (I like this pub). Enville Old Porter was first up. I then thought I'd tried Yew from Castle Rock's monthly wildlife series. I didn't notice the fact the sign said "cloudt wheat beer" so back it went after which I sheepishly also went back to continue what was indeed a cludy wheat beer. Final beer of the night was the strong (6.4% - well its strong enough for the summer) Howard Town Dark Peak.
