These are the beers sampled by myself alone on the tour I made along with my girlfriend across Britain.
The road we travelled took us to Edinburgh, Inverness, Isle of Skye and Glasgow in Scotland.
Then down to Penrtih amd all around Cumbria, spending one day in Manchester with
Josh, and also down to the Great British Beer Festival in London.
We visite dmany outstanding pubs but there are some the stood out above the others: The highest scores both went to the immensly flavourful Foxfield beers. The brewery that came the closest was the Eccleshall Brewery in Staffordshire with two beers with very hihg scores, followed by the Scottish breweries Isle of Skye and Moulin. Unfortunately I had only time to visit GBBF for one night. I could easily have stayed for ten nights... | ||||||
