Had the NZPA in the State Bar. OK but nothing special. Best pint I've had recently was in Mad Squirrel tap room in High Wycombe. $umo was vegan so must have been good for me?
That was one I didn't try but I would recommend their Werrrd APA and I'm not normally the biggest fan of fruity beer.
My 3 favs 33 Pod Vanilla Oatmeal Stout by First Chop 35 Sonder Session IPA by Flash House 53 Prohibition APA by Kent
Prohibition was decent. Shame so many ran out early yesterday. Went last 2 nights and tried 34 new beers and ciders over them, mostly thirds and halves across our grouo. Decent little operation. Worth a visit if they've restocked. Think hot weather caught them out.
Here in the US untappd is really useful. There are so many new breweries opening up, and most breweries make loads of one of batches of beer, it’s almost impossible to keep track.
Using the crowds rating is a pretty good way of figuring which of the 5 new IPAs to pick when you go into a bar.

I use it more as a beer diary. It's like train spotting for the boozing classes.
I know some will regard it as a soft drink, but I had a pint of Tonbridge Session Pale Ale at the Kentish Rifleman in Dunk's Green and despite only having 2.9% alcohol it was really well made and very refreshing.
My Czech buddy Mad Vincent is in Edinburgh and just sent me this. That thing on the right...Pravha...WTF?
And as for Staropramen ("Est in Prague) meaning brewed in Northampton or somewhere. Are we still falling for this guff in the UK? I thought this "pseudoEuro" beer was finally done for in the 90s.

Yeah it's Star's pilsner style beer. It's ok, general lagery shite. Been about for a few years.
Really enjoying Fallen Brewery's "Local Motive". It's unfined and I notice that most of my favourite taste experiences have been unfined (think it was HopStuff's Renegade, but may have been Fusilier that @Strasburger first introduced me to an unfined ale?). Is this anyone else's experience?
Cheers @SheffieldRed - sorry for my ignorance, but what is dry hopping, and why would it improve the beers that I like (mostly beers made with Mosaic, Cascade, Citra hops I've noticed?)
I just found out you can still get Double Diamond!
Works wonders!
Where for goodness sake?
Well Prince Phillip is to blame. but apparently it was his favourite tipple!!!! When production finished in the 90's he bemoaned its passing and recently a brewery have emulated it for him and for sale. They call it Dual Diamond but it is basically the same beer I am told.

Think it’s more the dry hopping @addickson
Either way fallen make decent beer
Hops in later in process. Increases flavour. (Possibly more expensive to make)
Where for goodness sake?
Wild weather- Reading
(Triple dry hopped- @addickson )
Wilde child - Leeds
Sentinel - Sheffield
Recommended
Stone -Berlin (Ruination- DIPA - dry hopped and hop bursted)
Excellent
Neck Oli and others will be sold on draft throughout the stadium.
Love a drop of Neck Oil.
Wonder what effect Heineken’s potential involvement will have.
Collaborations with cloud water are good
