just drank my last (apart from the Grain Blackwood I'm storing as an experiment). A tsarina esra from De Molen, started amazing but tailed off a bot at the end of the bottle.

Local wine merchant has got Insanely Bad Elf barley wine in again, accidentally bought a couple of bottles, oh dear...

Heard a new bar has opened up with an extensive beer menu including stuff like Delirium Tremens, must visit.

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

Well, I was at least thinking of you guys as I sat drinking a glass of Fin Du Monde in the Beer Bistro just round the corner from Union Station in Toronto, whilst waiting for my train yesterday...

A hoppy selection this evening, including a couple of Kernels, and a brace of Pannepots to polish off later.

He needs to stop fannying around and get down to the postoffice with a crate of beer!

Going on a trip with college on Tuesday to a resevoir under construction in NW. We are going to try and get the tutors to stop off at a pub on the way back to the college so that we can have a drink.
I am a lightweight so will end up being drunk whilst in college!

I had a Pannepot too tonight, so awesome, fast becoming my go-to strong beer.

Well we are all over 18 so TBH I cannot really see wheat the problem is if we have time. I am sure the lecturers wouldnt mind a drink and noone is going to tell senior management are they!

Send me a PM, I'll be in the UK for Xmas. I can bring a couple of bottles over. Seriously.

I was in Italy recently and was pleasantly surprised to note that the local hypermarket stocked some very interesting looking beers. I brought one back as a gift for my dad, called T.i.p.a - the label described it as a classic English style IPA, made with East Kent Goldings hops. I thought it would be interesting to see how well the Italians could manage to recreate the style.

My dad said it was excellent. This is perhaps unsurprising as it turns out it was in fact made under license by my dad's favourite local brewer, Mr E.Gadd of Ramsgate.

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....

I've only ever tried one Nøgne Ø beer and bloody good it was too - can't remember what it was called but it was a pitch-black oily porter, and yes, complex but very drinkable. I can see I shall have to investigate their range further. When I win the lottery.
