Beer?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I bought a couple of cans of Stone IPA (German version) today. Underwhelmed.

Thankfully I also got some Westmalle and Duvel 3Hop and Chimay as well

I've let the team down, went to The Alchemist in London at the weekend and had.... Cocktails.... Soz

This was a Mad Hatter:

Naylor's Citradelic, Wantsum Green Hop (Fuggles), Hog's Back RIP snorter. No marks as drinking from need more than tasting.... (Stopped at 3 because the last time I drank more than that I fell off my bike on the way home.)

A new cocktail, the @Crackle pour

They look like Rich's hair tonic.

Chimay (Blue) is excellent. I keep forgetting just how good it is (possibly due to it being readily available)

Like I need that!

I had a couple in the little micropub I really like. It' a newish venture and is doing good business. Beer changes regularly and is always interesting.
I had a pint of the Reunion which was indeed fruity and warming but the star was the IPA from local Arundel brewery. And only a fiver for 7.2% of delight.

£5.80 a pint!

7.4% + Brighton = £££££££££££££££££££££££££

I'd expect waitress service and a lift home at those prices!

Talking of prices, I realised where the White Hart was as I rode past it the other day. I've heard mention of it in this thread. What are their prices like?

 

[Aperitif]

Must be about £400 a pint that close to the centre of London*


* I have no idea if it is or not but imagine it is...

£11.25 for a pint of porter and .5682 litres of Sierra Nevada. Son was in town , interviewing for a contract somewhere near. "It would be handy at this stage, Dad...£750 a day..."

'Hope you get it son. Your round.'
It was mild outside too, but not beer. I was so keen to get buses, taxis and Horatio involved, the beer shot turned out all richpardesque, sorry.

I've been very impressed with the Arundel Brewery beers I've had in my Beer52 box so far. Meanwhile, up in the South lakes, there's a beer festival at the Britannia Inn in Elterwater (a top watering hole). The Bowfell Bitter from the Langdale Brewing Co was in especially good form t'other day...churs!

Very interesting and speaks directly to Dirk's shock at paying £5.80 for a pint of top notch, 7.2% premium cask product. Cheap at half the price.
You can pay almost £4 for a pint of ubiquitous,generic brown beer, such as Doombar.
