Andy S is drinking an Ambassador by The Wriggly Monkey Brewery at The Hope

More like an ESB to my mind. Really bitter, which I like, but might not be to everyone’s taste. Last ever pint at the Hope - well done Lewis for all your efforts over the years

Kevin Travers is drinking a Walking On A String by Salopian Brewery at The Hope

Typical hop forward Salopian beer, which is done well. Ironic Find the Source badge as brewing kit has been sold and pub shuts next month.

Tony Lea: I love that pub at the top of the slope so sad it’s going to close.

Ends in a sour/sweet biscuity bitterness. Lots of ideas

Andy S is drinking a Midnight Dipper by Polly's Brew Co. at The Hope

That is rather lovely. Might be too heavy on cask (though I’d love to try) but the slight chill (even after hand-warming) almost works in its favour. Maybe one of my fave Pollys’ ?

Andy S is drinking a Sagittarius B2 by Out There Brewing Co at The Hope

Possibly my first ever keg beer at the Hope - like going to KFC and having sausage and fries. And this is exactly the sort of keg beer a cask-led pub should be doing - different. 3.2% raspberry sour and I’d have to say it’s darned good. Really nice.

Andy S is drinking an Escapade by Distant Hills at The Hope

For a while could have sworn The Skids did a single of this name. But that was Masquerade. There’s something fruity in here which detracts/distracts - a decent oatmeal stout doesn’t need distractions.
