Beer?

Pinched this off Mrs 3BM, she's got more beer in than me at the mo.

A minor pub crawl around Cambridge yesterday with a few reprobates ended up with a wide range of beer drunk, most of which I've forgotten. There was a Britannia bitter and a mild at the Free Press, a bottle of M&S six-malt Cornish stout to wash down a comparative gin-tasting, a half of Ridgeway from the Tring brewery at a pub whose name I've forgotten, and we ended up at the Eagle.

Things started badly when I had to point out to the barperson which the Guinness tap was, and the "bitter" turned out to be pale yellow. I should have guessed - it was a Greene King pub. I don't think anyone found anything really satisfactory. All of the various beers I tried were not altogether nice, and all of them tasted like the same basic recipe made out of any old crap lying around the brewery with a few extra handfuls of something else - usually cheap hops.

Check out the colour on this.

A blend of a Berliner weisse and a pale ale. Perfect in the sun

I don't think I've had a (meant to be) hazy beer yet, hazy evenings yes...

OK, forget what I said about haze.

Britman Golden Ale

Local brewery, I've had the bitter before. This is there Golden Ale which is citrusy and lively but strangely pours with no head, probably perfect for me. Not bad. May need a repeat to properly decide.

Hibiscus and passion fruit sour. Yum

Killing time on the way home, cos I booked a cheapo train. I have a passion fruit Berliner Weisse from Mikkeller.

That looks awful. I hope it tastes better

In other news....my beer drinking last night did indeed go rapidly downhill after the Cloudwater DIPA

Thai meal....so 3 x Chang

O2 Apollo had cans of Tetley or cans of Guinness....so I had a couple of Guinness

The 4 x Old Fasioned that I had between the Chang and the Guinness were good though....but I know the cocktail thread is thataway ------>>>

Land of Liberty Ale (Great British Brewing Co, 5.0% abv)

Another from Aldi's "craft" range. This is an American style IPA, with the hop forward character you'd expect. It's mostly grapefruit citrus, with a bit of resin, and a slightly odd soapiness lurking behind it all. Not groundbreaking, but ok, and a mere 99p for the bottle.

Mrs M says: "Tonight, I Am mostly drinking Pelforth Brune."
