Ahh, yes. Had a brewery tour of the Black Isle brewery. Don't remember the Cromaty stuff though.

Yes - it started up in 2011, so perhaps it wasn't here when you were! I got a tour of it last summer. Nice place, good people, lovely beer.

Stunt beer alert!!! I won't buy brew dog beers any more, they wind me up something chronic...
So, after 4 days without a beer and feeling shite, I decide to open a 10% Brooklyn black chocolate stout??? I'm chewing it, but it is delicious.

Know what you mean cpb! Thing is though, i think they produce some Ok beer when they're not being dicks.
Punk IPA is ok and now they've brought down the ABV, it's almost sessionable. Tokyo is excellent, although not the sort of thing you drink everyday I guess.
Just cracked open the Abstrakt AB and it's very good. After 10 minutes I can just feel the chilpotle tingling on the end of my tongue! The ginger gives a bit of zing and the berry tartness balances the sweetness. Good mouthfeel too.
Mikeller on the other hand. Gggrrr!! I suspect their proteges, Te Ol, will go the same way.

Weird thing is regarding brew dog? Of all their beers, the one I've enjoyed most was the tiny sip of tactical nuclear penguin....
So long as nogne keep coming up with the goods, I'll be ok with regards the scandos

I hate the Brew Dog we know best and you're all tosses mentality but they do make a couple of decent beers so I'll let them off. A bit.
Had a couple of bottle of Oxfordshire Ales 'Marshmellow' last night, made in the village of Marsh Gibbon (great name!), E Kent Goldings and Mount Hood hops, really nice beer - recommended.

12 days without now. After about ten days, it gets easier. I know that chisel-faced scab-lifter off the telly reckons it's a waste of time but not for me it isn't. I'm an all-or-nothing kindaguy and go into anything I do whole-heartedly. It's reckoned that your liver can regenerate itself in six weeks so that's why they make St. Valentine's day exactly six weeks after NYE! Nice, innit? But the insinuation that people doing a 'Dryathlon' must render it worthless by then 'making up for lost time' and justifying drinking more because they abstained through January is an insult revealing a lack of faith in people's determination. I do know of some attempts which are almost doomed to failure before the outset.
1) A former colleague who does indeed 'abstain' throughout January - abstain from beer, that is. Apparently, according to him, wine is OK!!
2) A former colleague who got through last January by consuming large quantities of cannabis every Saturday. He can't do that now though because the rig he's transferred to drug test and cannabis stays in the system for a long time.
3) A current colleague who is exploring the world of 'legal highs' and will try a different one every weekend until the end of January!

Nice picture of brewing (last week I think) at Cantillon in Brussels. The hops are three to four years old, so not exactly the freshest...

Oh wow folks, if you like an imperial, try and get one of these:

It's like......'a dark beer rum truffle, will probably last me the rest of the evening.
Had a paulaner hefe-Weiss dunked earlier, also really good
