That looks good ;-)
Thanks! Still not had a beer today! Got on a train at 13:30 and am now at a point approximately 40 miles from where I started. Literally slower than cycling. There have been no delays to any of the trains - that is the actual schedule. Cheers, Lord Beeching.Oh yeah, and HB TC.

That was a million years ago, get over yourself. I've just had a Fuller's 1845 by the way.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Mad Squirrel Ferrous - a Citra Red. Yes, I am actually drinking a beer with some deliberate hop flavour, even if it is very very nicely balanced by some good solid malt. I'd happily drink more of this stuff.
I only had a taste of...
"Runner up - champion beer of Herts 2015". Despite being named after (summit and mosaic) hops and being called an APA it's not at all bad, and I might actually buy a whole pint of it next time.
I have to admit that I really like what the Mad Squirrel guys are doing. The Ferrous is a proper cask beer, and you can tell. I'm not wholly convinced by the rebrand from Red Squirrel, but the recipes I've tried have all been serious beers, with enough of a nod both to the new and the trad that I think I'm convinced they'll find a market niche. I'm very tempted to put my hand into my pocket with an expectation of some return.

Instead of the $umo, though, I had 2/3 of a pint of this stuff...
Billionaire Imperial Stout from the Wild Beer company. Brewed, it says here, with "lactose, sea salt, caramelised miso paste and tonka beans". It is exceptionally good, but at over £6 for a glass (even at 10%) it had better be. The Mad Squirrel beers go for £3.70 a pint. The Wild Beer Co is also fundraising, but is oversubscribed. I'll need to try some of their other stuff to form a view.
While Mrs W knocks back one of our bottles of homebrew cider (zero food miles - apples from the garden) I've got a special DeMo treat waiting for me to drink with my steak.

I had one of those earlier, before the Guinness.
Look on the bright side, it ties in nicely with the 'living in the past' thread.

I have repurposed one of@rvw's cards for the sake of the thread. I trust TC makes it back to mumble her beer order in good time.
I believe that Hemel & Aarde means "heaven and earth". Which might come as a surprise to denizens of Hempstead. The beer is a "smoked imperial stout-ish". Sensibly, the bottle shop has rearranged its brews by style and darkness rather than brewery.

My condolences. And happy birthday!
I had trouble getting my brew to chill down earlier, so stuck it in the pond. Seemed to work quite well, and it's now fermenting away.
