Yeah, reminds me I'm not common, innit.

Latest off the Brouwerij de Vreemdeling conveyor. A New England style IPA lots of oats in this one.

Last of the Aldi stuff, ackshly tell a lie, there's a coffee porter job left, think crax had one the other week but I can't remember if it was shite or not. Any road up as like, decentish weissbier, just the thing for a summers day.

Is that Princess Leia and a beer brewed by Chewbacher?

I had a Thornbridge Tonttu on draught - rich, red, malty. As nice as a scab beer should be.
Plus a first dip into my son's new stash of DeMo.

You'll be glad you've only got a small bottle of it.

I was woken by a txt message this morning to inform me that my double bubble beer delivery is arriving today. Yippee!

Aah, got back to safety,Yates Best Bitter and Oakham Citra....tried them anyone?Oh and by the way,I need some advice about 6 Degrees North bar in Edinburgh,so come on Scotland,is it as good as I'm told,Belgian beer a speciality apparently?

Tried both....I'd happily drink them again, especially the Citra (all of the Oakham ales are well worth a punt IMO). Hawkshead Cumbrian 5 Hop is another favourite of mine (hoppy but not stupidly so) along with Loweswater Gold (nice balanced allrounder).

Honest Brew and Beer Hawk Bandy Words

Save the Landlord!
"These days, it’s not really about the beer — that battle has largely been won. Even grim chain pubs sell craft beer and the days when it took serious research to find a decent bitter are long gone. For me, at least, the mark of a good pub is not its look or its location. There is something to be said for a village inn where your pint of foaming ale is brought to your table next to an open fire, but it’s as easy to have a great time in a 1970s estate pub, if it has the right atmosphere. And this is created (or destroyed) by the pub landlord."

Should you get the chance,try the offerings from Carlisle Brewing Co,favourit of mine is Spun Gold,just the thing for a Summer day,but perfectly acceptable even at the moment.
