Beer?

Stonehouse Zephyr pale ale, excellent zesty beer enjoyed in a very sunny beer garden yesterday.

Very nice stopover on the way to N Wales. Met up with some chums who arrived in a very stylish ride.

BrewDog have just announced sale of a 22% stake of the business to a US private equity investor for 123M USD!!!

That values the company at over half a billion. Whatever you think about Watt en Dickie that damn impressive.

Seems the founders are going to trouser north of £100m between them

PE investor has bought 22% for £213m.

ah. That makes more sense Nicky. My beer chum told me the investment was 123m which I couldn't square with BrewDogs billion valuation.

I don't want to go back to tc's nonsense game with pics in the lacing but that looks like a one horned ghost stag.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Bearskinful (Beartown, 4.2% abv)

See reviews passim. Jolly nice bitter from local brewer Beartown.

Mrs M says: "See past review. (Very nice)."

London Porter (Fuller's, 5.4% abv)

Mrs M and I are in the big smoke, so a chance to sample some of the local beverages. First up is this London Porter. Predominantly toffee/caramel, with a nice bit of smoky porterishness backing it up.

No beer glasses where we're staying, so we are drinking it out of giant wine glasses.

Mrs M says : " Very nice."

[QUOTE 4756692, member: 259"]Haacht Super 8 IPA. I've gone off IPA for a bit, but after a day's slaving in the fields in the garden I fancied something thirst quenching so finally got round to trying this one. It's a Belgian brewery's attempt at an American-type IPA. As it's Belgium, you have a special glass for everything, and the only reason I bought it in the first place was you got 2 free glasses with 8 bottles (and it reminded me of 8 Ace in Viz). And it's pretty good!

This was just the ticket for a warm Spring evening. 440 ml of fruity hoppy quaffableness. Pours a hazy gold, as is the fashion.
