Beer?

[Daddy Pig]

It is a block on the consumption of ale. (In my case for three months)

Think about the withdrawal symptoms! Surely that won't be good for you!

Train beer and Maurice Flitcroft’s biog on the kindle. Top! as they say here.

No pics but a couple (3) of Friday arvo early doors Red Rye's dahn the boozer on the way back from work, it's been a long two days. Very nice, it's keg so not quite as good as the bottled version but still good enough and the quality is top notch, hope they keep this on permanently.

Marvellous. I'm not doing dry January.

My martini's still dry...

Apaloosa (Big Hand, 4.5%)

Bought at last year's Nantwich Cheese and Beer Food Festival, from the brewer. Smells quite funky, although I didn't get much of that in the taste, which is mostly mandarin/grapefruit bitterness, with a subtle vanilla/caramel smoothness underlying it, and a bit of peppery spiciness. Tasty!

Mrs M says: "Very Nice!"

I'm doing a no beer January, FWIW.

Does that leave the door open for every other kind of booze?

Yesterday was a strong dark beer day

The unnamed one is To Øl, Liquid Confidence and possibly the best of the lot.

Half of Purity Mad Goose in a rubbish pub (apart from the Purity) somewhere outside of Solihull yesterday afternoon. It's a great beer this one, lovely pale ale with a superb, but not over done, hop taste. Pilgrim hops for bitterness with Cascade and Willamette for aroma, malts are Maris Otter, Caragold and Wheat. Yumtus.

Double dang!!

I need to try some of these Schnei Wei's

They've always passed me by. I think I might subconsciously look at them as being a bit commercial

Have you got a Schnei Wei 101 @DP ?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Das ist lecker.

I noticed that my local proper* pub, the Dog and Bell, is running a Tryathon. I believe it runs concurrently with that Dryathon aberration. So, feeling obliged, I tried 3 new ones. Most notable, the first drinkable No Frills Joe pint of what I have ever partook. Not even cloudy, I nearly sent it back! Amber Ale. Started off with an Old Dairy Red Top,, a bitter, dark and malty, that reminded me of London Pride. Also, a pint of something with a logo that looked like it said ''One Shot'' with a beer called Jam. (Found no clues online.) More grapefruit marmalade than jam, I think. But I enjoyed it. Three good uns.

It occurred to me, some way into the Red Top, that there might be some thread participants who might like to join in with a Tryathon. One idea would be to try to commit to 31 new beers before the end of the month. As the month is already underway, we could always set it up for February- 28 new beers. Suggestions and willing Tryers most welcome. I'll set up a splashsheet on my laptop to keep a record if you're interested. Any donations will be gratefully accepted at the bar, I'm sure, but you can pledge any remaining funds to any charity you care to choose.

A rough count tells me that I've tried 6, maybe 7, new beers since the new year, so January is distinctly doable. But if you want to join in, or make it Februarial, etc, post below. You were going to post below anyway....
