I was driving a van. It was full of stuff that wasn't beer! You are looking at the leftovers...

Kingpin was a real disappointment when I tried it - the one they brew for 'spoons (This.Is.Lager) is a more typically Brewdog take on the style, imo.
Showing people the price can do some damage though
It's a belter that - my introduction to Williams Bros, and still a favourite.
Anyroad, Mrs M and I nipped into a newly refurbished pub after a dog walk.
They've not only improved the interior and beer garden, but their cellaring as well, by the taste of things. We had;
Lowry (Hydes, 4.5%)
This brewery's Golden Ale. Although it has some sweetness, it's mostly spicy and grapefruity hops that come through in the taste. This is what golds should be, I think, tasty, refreshing but not overpowering, but equally not thin and insubstantial.
Provenance Lebelski (Hydes, 4.4%)
Hydes say;
Herbal and spicy, with a honey sweetness that's the main note in the taste. Not one for those who want hops, hops and more hops, but a pleasingly different, interesting brew.
Mrs M says: "Very nice."

Another strong dark coffee stout in 57 Thomas Street
£13.50 a pint (I'm having a third of a pint)
Marvellous!

Salty Kiss (Magic Rock, 4.1%)
The way people go on about this, you'd think the experience akin to drinking lemon flavoured brine, but it's actually a subtly tart, fruity sort of a beer, in which I struggled to detect a gose-y saltiness.
Like a lot of sours, I thought I picked up on a pleasant, cider apple lolly-ish sour tang, but the flavour seemed more citrussy than gooseberryish. Jolly nice, fairly light, and lovely in the hot weather.

Lovely on a cold winter's day...

Going down the ABV to a mere 10.8%
This is also quite lovely but probably not good as Marble's Lost Your Marbles

Not this one - I have a family birthday to attend that weekend. I'm hoping it will run again though.

Today's mainly been about Albarino and vintage brut nature cava. Hic!
