Beer?

Beer Guilty Pleasures?

(inspired by this; http://boakandbailey.com/2017/03/confession-time-beers-embarrassed-like/ )

I think mine would be the little bottles of Aldi lager (surprisingly drinkable), properly old fashioned mild (sub 3%, or not far over) and the recently rebadged Banks' Bitter. Not saying I'd step over a Cloudwater to get to them (save for the mild), but I like them well enough.

(As an aside, I'm surprised to see Punk mentioned in the comments - although its been equalled and surpassed by imitators and those who've been inspired by it, it's still a decent drink).

OK, I am amongst freinds so I'll admit it...

...I do like the odd pint of San Miguel on a hot day

What utter nonsense, there's a load of comments with people being embarrassed about drinking, well beer. Don't think, 1664 aside, there's much wrong with any of them. 'kin hipsters.

Titantic Plum Porter?! Daft article.

To be fair, that's in the comments, and the poster only says he's seen "some sniffy comments" about it.

I may even pour it into a poncey glass.

Tried the v12 last night, in the company of a fellow reprobate. My impression is that the v12 is even murkier than the v10, with malty sweetness, gooseberry and tropical fruit aromas. Again, the very high ABV is worn lightly.

I have to be up at stupid o' clock tomorrow so I am having an early beer. A bottle of mild from Bewdley Brewery so I am drinking local tonight. Tomorrow I'll be looking for a pint in Wakefield. Anyone local to there have any recommendations?
Back to this one, a strong mild at 6% and I'll be sticking at one bottle. A rather good bottle at that.

Edit. Don't know why this didn't upload yesterday. I'm now on a dodgy free wifi that will hopefully do the business. I'm in Wakefield now and soon off to find a beer.

Hobgoblin Gold, no pictures, couldn't be arsed. It's actually very easy to drink, which is great because, that's the intention. After spending the day sawing logs, literally, I needed a drink. Mind you, I didn't just saw them, I had to round them up from various areas of the garden where my keen canine helper had distributed them. Are you having fun, I asked him, as I weighted the axe in my hand. I may have the other one too.

By the beer, although not necessarily by its consumers. However those of us obliged to be up for the 07:17 to Swansea this morning had any trace of grogginess dispelled by finding this open at Bristol Temple Meads, serving flat white and warm Portuguese custard tarts.

Criminal!
I just necked a Duvel straight from the bottle while cooking ham, egg and chips.

It looks like Tesco are trying an assault on the craft market, three new ones to sample tonight.
