Beer?

[nickyboy]

Mid afternoon sharpener before heading home tonight.

Local brew...Gweilo IPA. "Gweilo" is an old word used to describe "foreign devils". Now it's a gentle leg pull. Anyway its really good stuff. Very similar indeed to Brewdog's Punk. And it's happy hour so I'm gonna have another. Cheers

Seems fair enough, aside, maybe, from Camden, whose offerings I never found that exciting. Cloudwater, Williams Brothers & Lines are all brewers I've enjoyed stuff from in the past (Lines being the new venture from the brewer behind Celt).

I just can't get excited about Williams Brothers at all, they do decent beer so I am not sure why. Anyway, I can't.

It's possible that they're a bit more exotic down here, I suppose. The beers I've tried of theirs have been good in an interesting way (Caesar Augustus, a couple of limited run "collabos").

Decent brewers, good beer, probs not hipster enough for you marmers.

Very nice indeed.

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

...although with a bit more dark fruit & less smoke in the taste (if Foriegn Extra stout is the one I'm thinking of). It's lovely.

They do stick a logo on their caps though - and the name of the brewery is printed around the side of the cap, iirc.

You'd think that'd be enough on its own.

Marm's theme...

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.

I have a dreadful confession: I used to work in the packaging industry, and our main customers were producers of FYP. I have spent many hours on the bottling lines for Budweiser, Coors and Stella.

! Guinness contains a product made from fish!

Your link has been doing the rounds for a couple of years at least. Guinness announced some time ago that they were replacing isinglass in their process. Fully veggie now I guess.

Show us a photo of your beard then.

Beards are no longer hip, they ceased being hip on 03.01.17 when I shaved mine off.
