Beer?

[rich p]

Kirin Ichiban Shibori Stout. Pretty decent stuff. Nice bitter chocolate going on along with the balancing sweet malts. Picked a pack up from the supermarket around the corner in HK

Apparently it is "Brewed for Good Times". So I intend to drink the lot as I like Good Times. However, exactly what that runs to on my own in a hotel room is anyone's' guess

Trip down memory lane for me. This is what got me started on continental beers many years ago.

Thanks to @Fab Foodie for finding it on his way home from the mainland.

Two glass alert ...NOT regular 'Beer' thread styling but...ok. Young love an' all that (You and the beer, I mean) Refreshing to see a vinyl backdrop as the threeworktopsmcginty / nickboy /srw granite was getting a bit passé - obviously the trad piney type perching points of Claudine and Rich* provide a variety, de temps en temps but the leafy tabletop action works for me - particularly with the frisson of reflection from the diffuse light cast by the voile blinded Pattern 10 internal door.
Nice.

Couldn't get a worktop between them

There is a bit of Jimmy Smiths jazz going on here so all is Fab as they say.

Plus the man himself cooked supper so all is rather damn good.

Frisson chips for sure; he wouldn't have cooked his goose.

I saw this out of the edge of my eye in clickbait corner on the Guardian website:
http://www.trueactivist.com/15-beers-you-need-to-stop-drinking-immediately/15

Since it comes from True Activist and I know this thread is truly right-on I had to share it. The shocking truth - Newky Brown contains caramel! Guinness contains a product made from fish! Some big brand American lagers contain corn syrup, which may be GM! Beer is high in carbohydrate! Beer is high in calories! Strong beer is very high in calories and carbohydrate and will give you the munchies and a beer belly!

It’s important to expose companies that use harmful ingredients in our products. This information is hidden from the public with millions of dollars of false advertising, laws, etc. You can always vote with your money. As this information about GMO beers spreads, we will see a decrease in production of these beers and the companies may eliminate the harmful ingredients altogether. Most importantly, when you hang out with your friends, you will be able to share beer that’s more delicious and healthier.

(I don't think they've quite got the hang of how marketing works...)

Well - it is bollocks, but then I have to agree that if anyone is drinking Coors Light, they should stop immediately. And have a word with themselves.

Any good?

Very nice indeed.

If you've ever had the West Indies Porter it's a slightly heavier version of that.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Will look out for it .... Your Tesco must be posher than mine!
