29th November 2013 - Tamworth
Friday night outing with RG in Tamworth tonight.
We opted to meet as usual at the Globe and decided to stay for several whilst watching the Gloucester v Leicester rugby match which provided some excellent entertainment to accompany the beers which included Wadworth The Bishops Tipple and Holdens Mild.
Round to the Silk Kite next where I had one the American clone beers they had on offer, specifically Stone Brewing San Diago Session IPA.
Finally to the other Wetherspoon, The Bolebridge where there was Greene King's Abbott Reserve (6.5%) to make a good end to a nice evening.

1st November 2013 - Burton upon Trent
Friday night outing with RG for which we decide that the short train ride to Burton would be the order of the day.
On arrival we head first to the Devonshire for some Burton Bridge beers which for me would be Golden Delicious and then Bridge Bitter.
Further into town next to the JD Wetherspoon The Lord Burton where we decided to have food. Friday is now fish night so we opted for come excellent fish and chips accompanied by Tuborg Lager (one of the options available as part of the deal.) After this I went for one of the beer from the festival that had recently finished namely Caledonian Poltergeist Porter.
Next port of call was the National Brewery Centre's bar for Worthington Red Shield.
At this point I got a message from PD confirming he was in town if we wanted to join him at the Coopers. Not a difficulty decision so shortly after we found our way there with time for a pint before the train home. Joules Double Hop for me.
