Christam / New Year outing with RG finds us in Burton upon Trent (or is it Burton-on-Trent?)
For me however drinking start at the Sir Robert Peel in Tamworth where there was just time for a quick half of Inferno from Oakham.
first port of call at Burton was the chippie thence to the Cottage where my choice was their excellent Stout.
Round the corner next to the Alfred where I had Burton Bridge Porter and also Festival.
We then went over to the Devonshire for some more Burton Bridge beer (Damson Porter). RG noticed there was Sarah Hughes on (he likes this beer so we thought if time we'll call back later.)
Next to the Coopers where there was Dancing Duck Dark Drake (I thought this might be a smoked beer but their web site describes it as "Delicious malty, caramel and liquorice flavours combine wonderfully in a velvety smooth drinking stout with a freshly roasted coffee and toffee finish (4.5%. I also had Woods Christmas Cracker.
We returned to the Devonshire and had the last two halves of Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby ("bottom of the barrel so only 75p each!") and i finished with the Damson Porter again which to me was the beer of the evening.
