Beer?

[Daddy Pig]

So the current beer in drinking austmann, a coffee porter. Just perusing the ingredients and it has 'aroma listed before hops and yeast. What the hell is that then? (I' guessing they've pumped something into it that natural yet undisclosed)

Sounds pretty much how it's supposed to be. Why on earth did you buy it?

The usual. Someone else was buying, there was a rack of uninspiring keg taps in front of me, I couldn't see what was in the fridge, and brewery and beer have been mentioned in dispatches.

Oh, sure. I think it's a good beer, but pretty much the definition of one you'd dislike!

We live in South Zeal. Couple of pubs, one has good food as well.
You should try the nobody inn near you way, good beers and food, excellent cheese selection and great range of malt whisky.
Also, a bit further afield in spreyton is the tom cobley. Usually 10 real ales on. Many camra awards.

Went through South Zeal today. I've cycled through it a few times as well.
I've been to the Nobody Inn a couple of times. The food and beer were excellent.
Off to Exeter tomorrow, so might nip down to the Prospect on the Quay.
We like the Ring o' Bells at Chagford, the Plume of Feathers at Princetown and the Peter Tavy inn at.....er......Peter Tavy. Both do good food and excellent beer.
Must go to the Highwayman this week; been past it hundreds of times, but never been in.

A type of malt - “aroma” or “aromatic” malt. It’s a Belgian style of malt and would make sense in a porter.

Over one past that place many times but rather odd and apparently even stranger inside! Dartmoor inn is a nice place to eat. Plume had been a regular stop during my uni years, plenty of heavy night' in there and a campsite out back to roll into your tent slightly worse for ware!
My mate and I had a funny conversation with an local old boy in the Peter Tavy, about how Tavy was pronounced. He almost had a fit of laughter with the broadest Devonian accent you could ever hear! Still they have some good beer there...

....and excellent pies.
We like the Castle Inn at Lydford as well.

Anyone use the CAMRA app?

I use it extensively, have loads of purple pins.

Tell us more... what does it do? Does one have to be a Camra member to use it? Are purple pins a good thing?

 

[MossCommuter]

Its the Good Beer Guide in App form, so you can do "near me" searches and it will map you all the nearest CAMRA pubs (showing as red pins, which turn purple when visited).

I used it loads when I travelled with work a lot (anything to get me out of those hideous Harvester places).

There's 2 versions at the moment, don't get the new one, its carp.

Best fiver you'll ever spend.

Hhhhmmm...

It doesn't get many favourable reviews (the current version) does it?

how could anyone think this junk was better than what it was replacing. Search is a f** disgrace. You can't edit your comments once you've made them and it won't work offline, real schoolboy errors. What a bunch of incompetent idiots.

There is only one version in the Google Play Store (I have no idea about what's available for iOS).

I use caskfinder, free app, ok.

 

[User169]

I just look on ratebeer wherever I'm going. That also gives you bottle shops and places to eat as well as bars.
