Woods Hopping MAD

[Richard English]

I had this yesterday at Wetherspoons in Wimbledon.

An excellent beer, sadly produced as draught only during Easter (hopping - bunny - get it?). Made with progress hops and a fine, fruity and easy drinking brew. At 4.7 it deserves a degree of respect since it drinks very easily and three pints had slipped down almost before I knew it.

It is now available in bottle (and bottle-conditioned), although I haven't yet tried it.

That's odd, I could swear I had it a few months ago as a guest at my local. It is, as you say, very nice.

I think Wetherspoon's pubs are a paradox. The pubs themselves are a pretty poor effort, but the ales they serve are well kept, varied and extremely cheap. The trouble is, the only way they can keep them like that is by attracting family groups for meals, and for that they have to keep the interiors as bad as they are.
