Beer?

[Maverick Goose]

Offski tomorrow, time to get down the Fell Bar after my ride and sample some fine ales. I'd love to get some more Stringers damson Sour, but apparently they made a small amount (Titanic Plum Porter is on special offer at Booths though).

Bought from the brewer himself at this year's Nantwich Food and Drink festival. This is a cracker of a session brew, with bags of flavour. Mostly bitter, marmaladey citrus, with some peachy sweetness and a hint of caramel underlying it all. DP should note the rarity (for me) of matching glassware too.

They are half Belgian, half British. I am looking forward to Friday, to under state things considerably.

I presume that you'll be having your daily treat as soon as you wake up, like my grandchildren?

What breakfast beer do they have?

Isn't all beer breakfast beer?

The scores so far.

The Isle of Arran Dark 7/10.
Nice and malty but light and drinkable.

Black Isle Goldfinch Gluten Free Organic.

Hurricane Jack Blonde Fruity Ale. @Fab Foodie says 6/10 thin and insipid.

There are a lot of myths regarding IPA.

One of them being that anything using the indgredients of basic brown bitter is "IPA".

I see. So what are the differences in ingredients?

What did he think of the beer though, Wimpers?

If somebody rated me 6/10 and thin, I'd be more than happy! Not sure about insipid to be honest!

An acquired taste.

They say that there’s no such thing as a free beer, however. I am on my way to a pub, at said pub I will consume beer, at no point will I exchange money, tokens, vouchers or become indebted to anyone.
