Beer?

[John the Monkey]

I'm going to say it out loud. I don't want to because I know the guys, they're nice and local to me but I don't like Ticketybrew beers that much. They insist on Belgian yeasts in everything and it doesn't usually work. They do an Earl Grey strong IPA (more tea) that tastes like mouthwash.

However, this is lovely. Banana esters and quite malty / beery.

They do (did?) a stout that was an absolute belter - it was on draught at Sandbar once, but I've not seen it since (only a star anise infused variant which, while ok, only hinted at the greatness of the unadorned beer).

Love this beer. Would love a Sorachi Ace porter/stout. View attachment 381978

A new one or three for me tonight.

A pint of Cascadian dark ale from Wild Weather Ales (grapefruity at the front, just all round fruity in the middle and a strong, bitter citrus pith aftertaste. Good fun in a glass);
a pint of Whitstable Brewery's Kentish Reserve (which tasted more like apple than any cider I've ever drunk does. Still fun on the palate though);
and a pint of Fuller's Red Fox, an enjoyable autumn ale.

And, bearing in mind Deptford's still London prices, a tenner plus pocket change seems eminently reasonable.

This one had slipped under the radar. As a result it has managed to go well past the best before date. Still very good though.

Bit pricey!

This says it has 5 different hops and 6 different malts. They must have been using up leftovers from the cupboard cos it wasn't worth it.

Just buy the boozer - sorted. I'm free to run the bar on Mondays and Thursdays.

+1 on that-the Dubbel is quality though. I'm just continuing my exploration of drinking emporia and beer shops in Penrith (Graham's in the Market Square are now stocking fine ales from the Strands Brewery in darkest Nether Wasdale).

Juicy NEIPA outta Breda. Gets a single “Dang!” on the dp rating scale. A bit of a herbal finish and not too sweet.

I've just been stood up on a shitty Virgin train for an hour and a half and all I've got to show for it is a Tesco IPA, still after that ordeal it's a double dang yumtus.
