Shame as I have a large bottle stashed away...

I had one of those as well, I managed about half of it before I gave up.

I have just had a disappointing phone call from Tescos to say that they have no stock of Duvel Triple hop.

 

[Spartak]

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!

I've just been to pick up my 4 cases ....... BASTARDS !!!!

Only 4 bottles picked but I did get them for 30p each :-)

Very helpful lady on the customer service desk is going to ring Tesco.com on my behalf to sort shortfall !

The McGinty Beer Awards would be two sections; Beer Awards and Post Craft Beer Bollocks Awards, sours and fruit can do one.

What?
And not allow these florid descriptions to take their place in the imbiber's lexicon? Shame on you...you..er...'horse-blanket' you!

SOUR/WILD BEER SOUR ALE This can include historical beers such as Gose, Lichtenhainer, Grodsizkie, Berliner Weisse as well as modern contemporary beers making use of either wild yeast, lactobacillus and pediococcus. Gose — pale gold to amber gold; can be hazy; tart, grapefruit, fresh ozone on the nose; tart and freshing on the palate; finish can be dry and lemony; generally 4-5% (flavoured gose goes into the flavoured category). Lichtenhainer: lightly sour and smoked, low bitterness, refreshing, high carbonation. Light in colour. Low in alcohol. Grodziskie: light in colour; high carbonation; crisp mouth feel; low in bitterness; lightly smoky, refreshing; low in alcohol. Berliner weiss: tart and refreshing; low in bitterness; light in colour; low in alcohol. • Gueuze Blend of Lambics of several ages producing a champagne style spritziness, grapefruit tanginess and a long dry finish. Generally 5-7.5% ABV. • Flavoured Lambic Beer with Oud Bruin/lamic base flavoured with various fruits, featuring tart, slightly acidic notes plus earthy ‘horse-blanket’ character; some will be sweeter than others. Generally 4-7% ABV. Kriek Lambic into which cherries (usually the Schaarbeekse variety) have been added; the result is tart, sour and dry. Some breweries have started adding sugar and/or cherry juice, which results in a much sweeter Kriek. Generally 4-7%. • Lambic Tart acidic beers fermented with wild yeast, have been aged and often blended — sharp grapefruit/lemon nose with earthy ‘horse-blanket’ notes and an acidic, quenching and refreshing palate and a dry finish. Generally 5-7% ABV.

In which case you have outsized wine glasses and coasters.

over-literal interpretation of metaphor as mildly amusing comment?

On Saturday we stopped off at Booths in Carnforth and did some shopping. As well as salt-marsh lamb and some excellent Yorkshire sourdough, we found a very large shelf of beer - a much bigger range than in our local large Waitrose and with a decent selection from the North of England (as well as - count'em - six different beers from Wychwood).

The back row is in the wrong thread, but has very attractive labels and on the evidence of one of the bottles is very good quality. This evening I've had the OSB Blackboard (Warton - it's about two miles from Carnforth and two miles from where we were staying) which is, indeed, smooth and dark. It went very well with a carbonara with added black pudding. I've also had the Ampleforth Double - a more than decent Yorkshire knock-off of a Belgian Abbey Dubbel.
