Top 12 Beers of the Trip

21/9/2025

 
I've been back nearly a week, and have had a lot to catch up on in terms of appointments, and sleep. I am currently in Burra and slept for 14 hours last night. My physio says not to do too much to allow my back a chance to recover. If things are still playing up on Thursday I might need scans. 

Despite drinking a lot of good beer while away, I did manage to lose 9 kilos, and wasn't under-eating, so it must have been the exercise. These are the best I can remember. 

1 - Tring Brewery Side Pocket for a Toad Ale
2 - Butcombe Original Ale, Bristol
3 - Wadworth 6x, Wiltshire
4 - Harviestoune Bitter and Twisted, Scotland
5 - Caledonian Brewery Deuchars, now owned by Green King / Belhaven
6 - Belhaven 80 Shilling (or Caledonian 80 Shilling aka Edinburgh Castle)
7 - Smithwick's Red Ale, Ireland
8 - Williams Fraoch Heather Ale, Scotland
9 - O'Haras Stout, Ireland
10 - Timothy Taylor's Landlord Pale Ale was a hit wherever I could find it on tap
