Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Also why national beer day on a feckin Thursday, which Bobby Dazzler.came up with that shite?

 

[srw]

I had a couple of Loxhill Biscuits (a mildly hoppy pale ale from the Crafty Brewing Company of Dunsfold) and a couple of Timothy Taylors Landlords. Both were perfectly nice, but not hugely memorable, as was most of the meal I ate. The best bit was a gooseberry "compote" (actually lightly poached and still slightly crunchy) served slightly cold alongside (not under) a warm crumble.

But it passed the evening. I'm not entirely sure what my sucessor (vegetarian and apparently teetotal) made of the three men opposite her (her new boss, her predecessor and her likely future boss) tucking into their meat and knocking back the beer.

Neck Oil, High Wire and Yakima Valley.
I'm getting jaded photo-wise.
They accompanied courgette and anchovy pasta cooked by my daughter. It was surprisingly good but needed the beer

Man Ray's distant cousin, Gamma, makes the occasional appearance on here - it'll be ok. Ansel Adnams is another, along with Helmut Newton and Ridley...it'll be ok.

What was the fib, that you had had several more?

I had 3 after work before she got home..i had the tea ready..then finished fitting the rest of the new fence panel's ,then told her i needed a beer..i managed another 3... Pub was very busy..must be the weather.

She's been working in Bavaria, so is used to boisterous beer drinking.

I made a Landlord clone recently, and am pretty happy with the result. A proper session ale.

I know where the wine thread is but I needed to share this from a recent supermarket I visited in Portugal...
What a guy!

There's a lot of golf in Portugal. I suppose if you spend all day in pastels, chasing a tiny white ball at a walking pace, anything becomes acceptable after a while.

How was it? Mrs M and I have rediscovered Landlord, as our new dog walking route has (purely coincidentally) got a nice pub on it, with Landlord on tap. Lovely unpretentious English bitter.

Landlord gives me raging heart burn.

I don't recall if there was any difference between it and Landlord. Nice pint
