I have the honour of drinking DIPA v12, released yesterday, in the brewery's tap room

There's a definite air of excitement about the whole thing.

The beer is noticeably cold and I think this might be the bitterest version I've tried.

Well jel!!

All praise the Pottle.

£9.80 for the Pottle and four pints of beer. I decided on Banks' Sunbeam. Not a bad beer by any means. I think of it as a Summer beer. I have excellent memories of drinking it at the flood lit Twenty 20 cricket down the road at Himley last year.

The really good news is that I can take my Pottle back and they will refill it for only £5. The bad news is I have to go to Wolverhampton to do it.

@MossCommuter what is the whisky? Now there is a subject worthy of its own thread!

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I had a half of "Cast no shadow" chocolate orange porter by Pig and Porter from Tunbridge Wells. I am not disgusted. It's really good, with a hint of Seville orange and chocolat noir.

I've now got a pint of Red Squirrel London Porter, which is so much my goto drink that my phone offers it as the first auto complete suggestion. When Mrs W gets back from her walk we'll go for a pizza and I'll have a Honeydew. Yes, I am in work tomorrow.

I could have done with a beer or 6 this weekend; unfortunately I have been on-call for work so decided it best not to, and fortunately so as I got a call at 11.30pm yesterday and beer would not have been helpful in the decision-making process.

A very nice old-fashioned session bitter. Cloudy on account of my ignoring the 'allow to settle overnight' instructions. Well FFS, I rode eight miles in the snow up a MAHOOSIVE hill to get the bloody things. It's been settling for four frigging hours. And yes, there is a companion piece called That.
What the ****? Have you moved into a mediaeval longhouse and taken up a new life as a neolithic hunter-gatherer? I can't make any other sense of the open rafters, the antlers on the table and the bone beer-stirrer.
