Beer?

I'll not be supporting them again by drinking that smoky stuff, it was like chomping on a cheesy sausage.

Yep, that one's a bit rubbish. But I had a pint of their American IPA in a Glossop pub recently and it was top drawer

They are happy to do informal tours @rich p ...next time you're up let's go and take a look? Only a 20 minute bike ride (over a bloody big hill) for me

I'm too idle to go to the offie so I'm working my way through the beer fridge reserves.

I don't know whether to be impressed or pity you. Nobody should have that detailed knowledge of railway stations

Lolz...I used to live in that part of Wales, so passed that way many a time.

Arbor Shangri-La IPA - citra, columbus, equinox and mosaic hops. Another great beer from the brewer that can do no wrong...yet...

Jealous! One of my favourite brewers.

Speaking of which, Mrs M and I are drinking;

Flashback (Salopian, 6.0% abv)
View attachment 351138
Salopian are a brewery I've liked since I tried one of their beers at a tiny little pub in Shrewsbury. Oracle is a terrific beer, Darwin's Origin is good too, Lemon Dream may be the perfect summer beer ... well, you get the idea.

This is a new beer to me, and stronger than the others in their range that I've tried. It wears that high abv lightly, although it's full of taste. Mostly citrus hops, with a mingling of mandarin and grapefruit flavours. There's some resiny taste in there, and a subtle bit of yeasty, bready flavour for some balance. Really good, if a bit lively (the picture shows the crackle-esque result of my usual pour).
Mrs M says: "Very nice."

I second that emotion-I was really impressed by Lemon Dream when I tried it at the Black Boy in Caernarfon last year.Tweedies in Grasmere have them on tap from time to time as well.

Purity Longhorn Unfiltered Rye IPA.
Malts: Maris Otter, Rye, Crystal Rye and Cara malts.
Hops: Pilgrim, Chinook, Galaxy and Simcoe.
Purity have some fine beers, Mad Goose being a fave, this is a pretty decent beer, not overly hopped in taste and a lasting bitter finish. It's in a can too!

Last treat of the weekend

It's nice. There's a sharpness from the canned one that wasn't in the keg last week.

Be quick before it's all gone

Dr Hexter's Healer, really nice bitter, superb hop 'n' malts combo.

Quality cappage featuring gent with bowler.

Human Cannonball DIPA. Just the ticket for when you're already half cut and have been cycling all night. Hic.

Still half-cut? Crumbs. It's 36 hours since you got to Barry.

May I offer you a throat lozenge?

Two good 'uns tonight. Hoppy and bitter and, de rigeur, fashionably hazy Cloudwater Ekuanot IPa.
And a BBNo Azacca hopped IPA.
Scrabble board hops!

Nice sharp photography skills, Rich. Good practice for the bride and groom candids.
