I fancied some decent beer last night, so when I was out during my lunch break picking up some food for the meal I Was cooking I stopped off at the Jug &l Firkin. Normally I would be drooling all over the foreign beers, but this year I found myself drinking more British beers, so I plumped for a City of Cambridge Multi-pack. The pack consists of two bottles each of Boathouse Bitter, Hobson's Choice and Atom Splitter.
I've been a fan of the City of Cambridge brewery for some time now and really like the majority of their beers. Boathouse Bitter (used to be called True Blue) is a lovely refreshing light session bitter that is perfect for a balmy summers evening. Hobson's Choice has slightly more body to it and is slightly stronger, but as equally gorgeous and quaffable. Finally Atom Splitter is a stronger darker coloured best bitter and my least favourite of the three, it just doesn't taste as good.
Overall though the multi-pack is well worth it as all three beers are bottle conditioned and very drinkable. It's certainly something I'll be buying again.
