Beer?

[John the Monkey]

Breakfast stout. Gotta reign thongs in - this is only about 8%, but still fkaboursome.

Orval is an outstanding beer.

Tis very nice ;-)

Three Hop Craft Lager (Caledonian, 4.5% abv)

Reduced to £1 a bottle in the local Bargain Booze, I thought this was probably worth trying.

It has the yeasty flavour underlying things that you'd expect in a Lager. The hops give a herbal, slightly musty, spicy flavour, and there's the merest hint of honey. I'm not sure that it's my sort of thing, but I enjoyed its complexity. I think it could use more "fresh" flavours though.

Capped in a manner that our more eccentric members would approve of too.

Discovered this very, very local Cologne Kolsh lager.

That's either an exceptionally small glass or you have extraordinarily large hands.

Anyway - how are you feeling this fine morning?

Went out in Manchester NQ yesterday afternoon/evening. Managed to avoid bumping into @MossCommuter by sticking to pubs that sell pints as opposed to thirds

Some normal beery stuff (including being served with a glass that made me look like Ken Barlow), some mighty tasty Duvel and, for the bantz, a taste-off of Timmermans Strawberry and Cherry, Cherry won. I didn't get around to their Peach, maybe next time

Met a couple of Belgians who said they didn't like the grapefruity stuff so common in NQ (let them try my Marble Lagonda IPA) and also commented on the unhygienic nature of putting the "beer dispensing nozzle" (I don't know what it's really called) into the beer. Wouldn't get away with that in Belgium apparently

Yet they were happy to share your glass?

Crazy Belgians

Little taster glasses.

Just ran 14km at 4:35/km to sweat out the beer.

That's just showing off.

On the other hand, I noticed at the festival I was at yesterday that the English brewers all gave a full pour whereas the Europeans (there were brewers from NL, Spain, Denmark and Latvia) all insisted on pouring half a glass of froth.
