I'll be off as usual to the Tring brewery on Christmas eve to pick up my supplies. I told them this year to surprise me so I have no idea what I'm going to get, other than I know it's going to be good.
Beer?

Hey TBM - who do you order your job-lots from? Beer Ritz?
Those of you who know the awesome offie that is Mr Lawrence - I understand they're shutting the off-license side of things at the end of the month, which sucks mightily, not getting enough footfall apparently. If I had a few bob I'd make an offer and build it up through the on-line sales.
On chirpier matters I'm just drinking this:
it gets a bit of a pasting on rate beer, but I really like it

Ouzo undrinkable !!!
Kasteel Donker. Strong (11%), sweet, and truly minging. Even my son can't drink it, so the rest of it'll probably join the ouzo and the Corona in the undrinkables box in the garage.

Yesterday Mrs Spartak got me a bottle of Marstons EPA from the local Co-op.
Very drinkable, problem was she only bought me one !

An evening of biblical proportions...the first beer, or should I say second now, for a full 40 days (and 39 nights)! So, aside from not being that religious after all, it makes a nice change from sparkling water.
And the choice? Ah... Cornish IPA from S'n'Austell and a Yorkshire Bitter made by Hambleton Brewery, both from M and S. I bought them yesterday before news of the 14' tour, so well done Yorkshire!
Later, I have a Jurassic made by the Dorset Brewing Company, given none less than Delftseian approval very recently.

oof, went on the CAMRGB pub crawl last night....
a couple of highlights:
a shot of abdication ale (ie a special ale made for the coronation of Edward the 8th...) it was like smelling the inside of an old chest of drawers, not entirely unpleasant, but not earth shatteringly tasty,
a shot of brewdogs tactical penguin - tastiest thing i've had from them, nit really beer though (their pub in Camden is OK though, we were in the little downstairs bar.
A half of to ol moccachino - ooh that was lovely, dark, smooth and strong.
There were several other beers and I'm a bit becalmed right now.

We had this one on Friday night. Basically, no. It had none of the depth and oily unctuousness you expect from Imperial Stouts and instead had the overwhelming taste of cocoa powder. Not that great.
I had a squint at their mixed cases but they only had 4 out of 23 in stock.
