The Good Stuff

The survey on which cask beers you like and dislike has now closed. There were 52 individual responses in total. Obviously this takes a bit of work to analyse, so I’ll present “The Good” today and “The Bad” hopefully tomorrow.

So here are the results of “Name up to three cask beers that you regard as good examples of the genre and that you would happily recommend to others.” Number 1 was perhaps not a total surprise, but Dark Star Hophead made a strong showing in second place and Taylors Landlord in third. Bear in mind that the responses were entirely unprompted.

As you will see later, quite a few of these beers also feature on the other list.

Incidentally, I now have 99 followers, so one more to bring it up to the round 100 would be nice :-)
