29/11/24 - Bathams XXX

The Black Country Beaujolais Run


Mrs M accuses me of being paranoid about missing out on Bathams XXX. A shout out on Twitter to confirm the likely release date. Facebook messages to my nearset tied house before setting off on a 4 mile walk.

Best let the good people at Bathams describe what makes the beer so special.


A Christmas ale, mid brown in colour and strong, with a malty, fruity taste.

Hop flavour is present but malt predominates through to the aftertaste. Hold onto your hats, folks!

It also means that Christmas is coming.

The walk was decent enough, a disused railway line taking me within 2 miles of my goal and then decent agricultural fields, nicely frozen.

Arrival at 12:10pm. Tangible excitement in a busily filling up bar. I was second to order but first to tweet.

I win this years Black Country Beaujolais Run. Rewarding myself with an Uber return. 

Rambling on three pints of the strong stuff rather unappealing.
