Revisiting the Tower...

By Steve the Beermeister: 

I recently walked up to the current South East Sussex CAMRA 'Pub of the Year', the Tower on the corner of London and Tower Roads in Bohemia, and, as ever, a pleasure to see Louisa the landlady, meet up with a few friends, and drink some excellent ales at good value prices! Well, I hadn't been up there for a while...  

6 real ales (and 4 ciders), mostly local to Sussex/Kent too, including 2 excellent regulars from Dark Star, ie Hophead and American Pale Ale, both of which I've talked about at length many times before, and a refreshing pale offering from 1648, the 3.7% Hop Pocket. Also, 2 dark ales, Titanic Plum Porter (4.5%) and Arundel Smokehouse Porter (6%), and an inbetweeny, Isfield Ethelred (4.4%), which was ready!

I'll have to return very soon, cheers! 

Plum Porter!

Whilst talking about real ales on this blog, I have to share the information that the "Gold" Champion Beer of Britain 2015 went on at the Dolphin at Rock-a-Nore this lunchtime. Titanic Plum Porter (4.9%) which has a fruity aroma that wafts straight up your nostrils! Fruity flavour too, as expected, and with a dry bitter finish, what an excellent beer to have on at the same time as the Seafood and Wine Festival over the road, cheers!
