Beer?

[Trail Child]

Muskoka Brewery is rapidly becoming my favourite small producer in Canada. Their seasonal beers are lovely. I am currently enjoying their Harvest Ale, which is a 7.0% fruity, grassy pale ale with several different types of hops. And going down very well.

I'm not a fan of the Mad Tom one though. I finally picked up some Coffee Porter from Mill St. Brewery today. I'm a big fan of Beau's Beer right now. Harvest Ale sounds good though.

I don't bother with any of their regular beers, I have to say, only the seasonal specials, which are all great. Beau's is okay. I find the Lug Tread tastes a bit soapy, but I don't know anyone else who think this, so it must be a personal thing. I like quite a few things from Mill Street, but none of their beers strike me as truly great. I think my absolute favourite Canadian beers are still from Montreal's Unibroue, La Fin du Monde in particular - they make genuinely world-beating brews.

Anyway, I shouldn't be drinking much at all. It ruins the training...

I'm on the Sn'Austell's Proper Job tonight, but I also have had and have a further Wild Hare by Bath Ales for later this fine eve...


...and around 3 litres of Thatcher's cider too. Should make for an interesting club run should I survive...

In England this week, so been sampling a few ales.

Cuthbert's from the churchend brewery in Nuneaton. Not bad, but it was poured through one of those sparkler nozzles which i don't really like. Jurassic from Dorset Brewing Company was a real thirstquencher.

Had a few bottles too from Purity Brewing and Staffordshire Brewery.

There seem to be a lot more US hops being used in England these days. Also, saw a brewery in Hampshire which seems to use NZ hops almost exclusively, but didn't get to try any of the brews.

London tonight, so will hopefully round up some Kernel at Highbury Vintners!

Enough to ruin any pint IMO. The Jurassic is a lovely pint and if you're down that way I think Palmers is another good brewery that way based in Bridport.

Is there a better beer brewed in the UK than The Kernel Export India Porter?

No.

Angela Hartnett on Beeb2 right now visiting Kernel. She's just made a cake with the export Stout 1890. Not sure i could bring myself to stick Kernel in a cake.

Dreadful! Cake good, Kernel good, but let's keep them separate.

I'd be happy to verify your statement on Fin du Monde, simply send a couple of bottles over. Please!

Hi all - been a while...

I've made chocolate cake with Grain's Blackwood stout, and it was a corker.

Recent beers that have impressed me:
Blue Monkey - Guerilla and even more so - Whisky cask Guerilla - possibly my second favourite beer this year behind the De Molen Sodom and Gomorrah.

I went through the range of Buxton beers and they're winners, star f show though - awfully named Smokey and the Band-aid - a smoked rye porter - limited edition thing and really really good, full of flavour.

I had a Wincle brewery beer too - Bad Bill? that was good, but the phone is in the other room charging so I haven't got my notes to hand.

Celebrating Stout Day with this:

Oh.....My.....god

It's really really complex, but not difficult if you know what I mean. I'm tasting different things all the time, but it's also an absolute pleasure to drink. The nose on it is all cognac and oak. It starts off rich and chocolatey and finishes with just the right amount of bitterness.

It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it, it's been resting in the beer cellar (understairs cupboard) for a bit and I thought it was time....

The local beer shop has persuaded Brouwerij de Molen to brew a beer for it, so tried a couple of "Flink Gegist" this evening. Quite a decent west coast style IPA and pretty cool for the shop to have its own beer. Also tried the fresh hop beer that De Molen made with Gadds in Kent. Not bad either, although a bit on the sweet side.

Beershop has just taken delivery of new Kernel supplies - laterz!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Bah!

I hate your new beer shop, DP, it's not bloody fair!

Off out to see Andy Fairweather-Low tonight, there are several bottles of Adnams awaiting my return. Yum
