Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

I have previous!

Nooooooo

 

[John the Monkey]

It's going to get interesting.

The rum and raisin, and the chocolate and raspberry first I think. I'll save the chilli until later.

5 & 15 are both very nice, iirc. The only Blue Monkey beers I've had are "BG Sips" and "Ape Ale", but both of those were good 'uns.

Did you try the plum porter?

Starts tomorrow, I will summarise the results when the dust has settled.

Edit: I know I've had the Titanic before, they had it on last winter, and the Framework, that's a local micro brewery.

Soz. Posting backlog rather than drinking failure..

 

[theclaud]

I don't think I have had any of those.

Oh have you not had the Tripel Hop Citra? You hadn't mentioned it.

 

[theclaud]

I did try to get some but the new suppliers I appointed let me down.

It's luvverly. Mine was a bit more than 17p, sadly.

The DIPA is the tipple as I write. It's excellent, but I don't know as I could tell it from a dozen other decent DIPAs, and I can't really pick out the Citra with all the other big-hitting hops going on. The Body Riddle is a winner - a zingy quaffable nicely balanced easy-going thing. VoG's Dark Matter is more licorice than blackcurrant, with a nice dry finish - lovely. The Gaucho has Yerba Mate in it - unlike the grains-of-paradise thingy from the same brewer, the additions are slightly understated, but I'd give it another go. I'm a huge fan of the Hitachino Nest Ginger Beer, although there may not be much to it apart from the brilliant label, the Marmion-friendly owl cap and the fact that it tastes like I always hope ginger beer will taste and almost never does - of actual beer with a big fresh gingery slap, rather than like a soft drink with suggestion of beeriness. Sugar Rush is, as you might expect, way too much. I shan't be invoking the Trade Descriptions Act. The pineapple sour is pineappley and sour, so I like it - I'm sophisticated like that.

It doesn't even rhyme..............

p.s. I forgot to take a photo of any the 4 pints of Burning Sky Plateau I just had.
Unadventurous but tasty and comforting.

I did eventually get to the craft beer gaff in Siena last week, when it was open.
I was the only customer at 6pm so it was a bit soulless that early, but needs must.
They had a selection of their own brews of which I tried two. The PIA was the pick. Strong flavoured, citrus and musty.
The furniture looked like a kids nursery.

It was just another day in Teletubby land.

I don't think I have had any of those.

I expect she chugged them all herself the greedy moo.

They are playing Chas and Dave!
