Friday 13th - Burton (again!)

"Well the town ain't changed much" I remarked to RG on arrival at Burton upon Trent (which wasn't a surprise really seeing as it was less than 48 hours since I last left the place.

We headed first to the Old Cottage and I spied a 4.5% perry on the specials board (mid-life crisis kicking in again.) Venturing up to the bar I spied a plastic cider barrel and asked for a half of that only later to discover that is actually had Black Dragon Cider at a mere 7.2% in it. After that, back to beer via Shardlow Kiln House.

Next port of call was the Oak and Ivy (mainly because that was where my comrade used to spend lunchtimes when he worked in Burton some years previous and no, that hadn't changed much either. not much choice tonight so it was Pedigree.

Onwards to the Devonshire and Burton Bridge Porter (as I've said on here before - for a change) and finally into the Coopers for Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby, Titanic Captain Smith's and Thornbridge Jairpur.
