Beer?

East Kent Green Hop Collaboration "Kent Green Hop Beer" plus local pie and home-made picalilli :-)
Light and refreshing lunchtime fayre.

That is a fine looking pie.
Kudos on the piccalilli- the only condiment fitting for a good pie.

Half price yumtus.

How many bottles, and even shops, did you check before you found this?

Weizenbock. Blimmin sour and fizzing like liver salts. Think it must be infected: drainpour. Nice label though.

Looking on untappd, everyone says exactly the same thing. Feeling a bit sore though that the first check-ins were in July, so the brewery has known about this for some time, yet it only went on sale in my beer shop last week. I know it must hurt a small brewery to withdraw a batch, but I think they really should have here.

Assuming my last post hasn't put you off Dutch craft beer, there's a Dutch tap takeover in Tunbridge Wells next weekend.

http://www.fugglesbeercafe.co.uk/

The line up seems to be:

DeMo along with founder Menno. Yes, they can be hit and miss, but they kick-started the Dutch craft beer scene and their stouts are very fine.

Uiltje, run by the seriously ambitious Robert Uylleman. His beers are improving all the time and he makes some really decent IPAs.

Frontaal, run by the irrepressibly enthusiastic Roel. Getting there with his beers - his Fruit Punch NEIPA (with no added fruit) is really good - and he has just the best bottle labels.

Kees - erstwhile brewmaster at Emelisse, now brewing under his own flag. Emelisse tanked when he left, but he hasn't really hit his straps on his own (IMHO), although I haven't tried much of his barrel aged series which seem to be well received.

Will be in that London on Sunday, but a schlep out to TW might be a bit of a faff.

Another sherry barrel beer by Marble

Nicer than the previous one but still not convinced

It's got a metallic thing going on

Bit naughty and disappointing. You blacklisting them?

Saison, one of mine. I'm very happy with how this batch turned out: fermented hot with Dupont yeast, it's dry and peppery with fruity esters. I think I'll have another.

Murrikan and muchos Mossirlamis

They call it stout but it's sour, gently cherry with that mouth feel that you guys know I like; that duck down, marshmallow explosion on the tongue. I can't stop swilling it about (makes me look all Gilly Goolden). Fruit is subdued and sourness muted. Actually, it's delish but I have that metallic thing again. Must be me.
