WANT to get involved? We're featuring the views of Derby beer enthusiasts each week.
This is what I'm after:
● Tell me a draught beer you think no-one should miss out on, preferably one that can be found in Derbyshire at least sometimes.
● Tell me a pub you think has to be visited... within reasonable reach.
● And when you have a drink at home, which bottled beer is such a cracker that you think others should try it? Where can it be bought?
This week I'm stying in-house for the views of seasoned ale enthusiast Martin Naylor, the Telegraph's crime correspondent.
A BOTTLED BEER
Hawkshead Brewery's Lakeland Gold. My favourite beers are those brewed in the Lake District and this 4.4% fruity golden ale is up there at the top of the pile..
A DRAUGHT BEER
Castle Rock Black Gold – a 3.8% mild that describe by its brewers as "Nottingham's dark secret". A subtle and caramelly session beer that never falls down in quality wherever you drink it.
A GREAT PUB
Pattenmakers Arms, Duffield. Always a pleasure to enjoy a pint in here after a long walk. Friendly staff, good, wholesome food, and a decent range of real ales to try.
