Beer?

[srw]

Lunchtime at the King's Arms, Cartmel. I kept it local with the Last Wolf, brewed 100 yards away (just the other side of the Michelin stars), and Hawkshead Bitter. The Last Wolf was pleasant enough, and the bitter good - but the strange obsession with the sparkler loses me.

We had by this stage walked 5 miles over a hill. We reached Cark just in time to have a quick refreshing pint before the train. I kept it trendy with an unfined OPA dry-hopped citra from the Fell Brewery in Kendal (feeling my beard grow bushier with every sip). This evening, after failing to spot the elusive purple heron or any otters I had bottle of Lakeland Gold and one of Lancaster Bomber (spoiling the Cumbrain theme - brewed in Wolverhampton).

Had a Weird Beard Mariana Trench at the 12 Taps this evening. Very nice. I think they call it a 'Pacific pale ale' and it's pretty much as you'd expect - lots of tropical/citrus fruit hoppiness.

Was also in there a few days ago and had a Weird Beard Saison 14. My son was with me that time and he had the same - his first experience of a saison. He found it perhaps a touch too farmyardy for his tastes, while I found it not quite farmyardy enough. Very good though.

I do like Weird Beard beers. I also like Pig & Porter beers, and also on the line-up tonight was a Weird Beard x Pig & Porter collaboration called Sadagothika or something like that. A 9% Imperial stout. I think I need to go back another day and try that one, but I needed to keep a clear head this evening.

Ok Mr Tesco, see how you like my beer order.
£41.50 on collection for 12x20 bottles of Duvel triple hop! Orders gone though in a big store so it will be interesting to see what they actually have!
240 bottles, not sure mummy pig will see the funny side though and I doubt there will be sufficient room to store it! Beer cupboards already full with about 130 tasty treats!

Internet problem at Tesco! I have already had 12 for the princely sum of £2.20 via online delivery! I'm wondering if they will work it out!

Chapeau! to you Sir, you've actually got more beer than me (I do have 2 bottles of Cloudwater Imperial Stout and a bottle of Thornbridge/Brooklyn Serpent in my stash though).

Ok everyone, just had Tesco internet shop delivered and found a big error which is still there. I ordered a Duval triple hop @ £2.50 but it is actually for 12 bottles for £2.50! It shows this on my online summary emailed to me! Get in there quickly!

Just ordered 4 'bottles' ......

Thanks @Daddy Pig

All round to Daddy Pig's for a Duvel party

 

[threebikesmcginty]

My nearest Tesco doesn't seem to have 17p Duvel, useless bastards, I'm going to complain and get all the prices put back to £2.50.

 

[Daddy Pig]

Well, went to pick it up and none a valuable... bastards! Trying to replace with Duvel 23 bottles for £2 each! What about my round trip of 50 miles.... double bastards!

10p well spent on a phonecall to Tesco.

Wasn't there a thread once about the morality of taking advantage of a pricing mistake made by, iirc, Halfords? It got quite heated I think.

It revolved around the legal position of whether the retailer has to honour the mistake. It doesn't but that didn't stop a few rattles being thrown out

I'm pleased that people aren't able to over-indulge themselves on cheap booze in this already broken enough Britain. Especially as it wasn't available to me.
