Beer?

@User482, see? Some grown ups eat fish fingers.

Only in age.

Yebbut some of them call them goujons.

These were Clarence's finest...

Gearing down a bit

View attachment 383511

Very reminiscent of some of Chorlton Brewery's best canned sours. I have long thought samphire would be perfect in a salty beer. I was right. Well, ok, Magic Rock and The Garden Brewery were right.

It's been in Oak too so it's a bit cardonnay-ey. And there's sumac. I think I like sumac.

What's sumac?

It's that citrusy red tree bark you get in Turkish and Lebanese salads. That beer sounds lush, as we say down here.

The Castle Inn, Lydford.

What's the difference between goujons and fishfingers? At least £5 Six Degrees American Lemongrass Wheat-slightly hoppy wheat, subtle lemongrass flavour, nice and refreshing y'all (it's from Kentucky). Proper Job is Pukka too-much prefer it to D******!

I had a Tiny Rebel Mojito Sour the other night. I should have expected it to be minty from the name, but it came as a bit of a shock. I think mint (and kaffir lime, which shouldn't even be in a mojito either) might have to go on DP's list. Bit pricey for a 3.5%er as well. Followed this with a Wild Beer Tepache - notionally in the same vein but a class above. Ooooooh. A spicy ripe pineapple delight with all sorts of loveliness going on. 6% and cheaper than the Mojito - go figure. Pub was dark even for a decent camera, so I didn't bother.

Dark for dark business...

Three Sods IPA 4.4% on the right - 8/10

JHB from Oakham Ale 3.8% on the left - 6/10

Both quite hoppy.

I know Foodie was there, but who are the other two?

I gave lemongrass a pass when Otley's first edition Thai-Bo came out - an unlikely drink rescued by sheer flair, but the subsequent ones after their fall from grace all tasted like washing-up liquid. 'Subtle' and 'lemongrass' are things that don't often meet in the same glass.

Haven't a clue.

This place is missing CCs finest beer critics so buck up and visit.

All set for the rugby.

 

[theclaud]

They didn't but, as I was in search of the weird and whacky, I did find some Yeastie Boys hot smoked IPA.

The Tepache appears to be limited edition, so I've ordered a couple of bottles. One of them has your name on it. Assuming you like pineapples, that is...

 

[Daddy Pig]

Decided to get a few regular British beers for once. Bargain 15 bottle for only £35... or about the same as 3 pints of Clodwater dipa.

Ive always wanted to try that naughty elf and they bizarrely had all 3 versions in!
