Bartrams- Comrade Bill Bartrams Egalitarian Anti Imperialist Soviet Stout 6.9%

Buffys- Mild 4.2%

Dark Star- Over the Moon 3.8%

Elgoods- Black Dog 3.6%

Hesket Newmarket- Great Cockup Porter 3.0%

Iceni- Men of Norfolk 6.2%

Mauldons- Black Adder 5.3%

Mighty Oak- Oscar Wilde 3.7%

Not bad list, a bit higher in alcohol than in past years but still some lo ones. Looking forward to Over the Moon and Pressed Rat, two of my favourite Milds. I Have never had any of the bartrams beers. There are a few classics as well. Good List? What do you think?

Not just a good list, a great list.

I can vouch for Nethergate Old Growler, Pitfield Porter & Stout, Dark Star Over the Moon, Elgoods Black Dog, Mighty Oak Oscar Wild and Milton Nero. I've had a few pints of each of those, and they're all first class.

Good luck with the festival.

Cheers
