Beer?

[srw]

Quite risque for revered Swansea person..."Smac My Brew Up" Enough to make one hop.
Will 2017 be a foam of weird beer names, or will there be a reversion to staid, nondescript? Hope not...or should that be hop knot?
I'll start:
"What knees" Red IPA

"Session IPA" - bitter
"Unfiltered Pilsner" - lager
"American Pale Ale" - hoppy bitter

I think we're all beginning to see through the nonsense on bottles. I predict a return to old-fashioned names.

(And the beer bottles can't quite hide the tonic water or the bag of blanched almonds - I smell the old-fashioned pastimes of cake-making and swigging back large G&Ts.)

Smac My Brew Up - stupid name, nice beer. I'm prepared to forgive 'Mega Mega White Thing' on account of the lovely silver-and-black label. Although it's called a pilsner and has been cold lagered, it doesn't really register as a pilsner cos it's got a load of NZ hops chucked in. I think I like it, but will try another to be certain. Arbor Ales come in 568ml bottles. That, Eurobeer Correspondents, is a pint to you. And calls for another pint for me, too. I report, with a heavy heart, rumours that the Crouching Chilli Hidden Mango Saison is discontinued...

The bottle probably belongs to A.N.Other. I glanced and saw a 'phone, but possibly that same person's as Claudine was busy artifying her booze with her lens, to give it cultural status. Could be a two 'phone person though, so not sure.

Good name.
A beer with a judicious use of hops and dock leaves.

Ignoring rich and his nonsensical muttering we move into Arbor dry hopped stout The Devil Made Me Brew It. Quite lively, pours semi Crackle head, nice stuff, it's more like a Kernel export porter. All the usual good stuff you'd expect. Scores high on the yumtus scale.

You may claim to be ignoring the ridiculous old lush, but you appear to have been on one of his photography courses.

Huzzah!

"Jazz Time" An offbeat number,hips and hops galore in this strange brew. Look out for our smoky stout too..."Coal Train"
Makes me think of this favourite...

"Bast hard" - a sour, acid aftertaste from this red.

It's half two and I ain't had a drink yet.

This won't do at all
