Beer?

[Flying_Monkey]

I have been mostly drinking this: Wellington Imperial Russian Stout (in small amounts) recently since they have it on tap at my local right now. Lovely stuff. Which probably has something to do with why I am not exactly at race weight right now...

Last one tonight - Hel en Verdoemenis aged in Wild Turkey barrels. Bootiful!! as Bernard Matthews doubtless wouldnt have said.

Drank most of buxton's beers yesterday, plus an insanely tasty (and at 7.4% possibly an unwise pint) arbor ales Yakima valley. This has had the consequence of me spending the day on the sofa watching football rather than enjoying the lovely weather on the bike. So horribly jaded right now.

Great stuff, TB. I really enjoy hearing about people that take the time to brew their own beer. I see your point about dry hopping, but i'm more than prepared ro pay for it!

And just to completely contradict myself I've been working on a brewdog recipe to do a Punk IPA clone....lots of dry hoping

A mighty fine beer
Did a tour round the Hook Norton brewery a few years ago, on a bike of course

If you are ever driving past Junction 18 of the M4, the brewery is approx 1 mile away, well worth a visit to stock up on some great beer

I said fark it tonight and I am drinking this year's St Ambroise Vintage Ale. OMFG, it is fantastic. Just what I need.

I've often extolled the virtues of the Ramsgate Brewery, and in particular their Gadd's No.3, a strong-ish pale ale, but last night I popped into the pub for a swift refresher while waiting for a bus, and among the fine ales on offer was Gadds No.7, which, come to think of it, is one of the few in their range I've not sampled before. But it's bloody lovely. A zingy, refreshing, very hoppy pale bitter. Frankly, no 3.8% session beer deserves to have that much flavour.

Leffe Blonde 6.6 %

Last time I drank this was after the ' Ronde Picardie ' sportif in France last September.
Still tastes GREAT !

Interesting one tonight.

There's a new Trappist beer on the block from, err, Austria. In style, it's what the Americans would refer to as a Belgian Strong Ale, i guess. Chimay blue is the trappist it most reminds me of.

OK, but not spectacular. They've still got a thing or two to learn from the crafty Belgies.

This must be an old picture because they now have the Trappist logo on the bottle.

I spent a nice evening sampling a few draught beers in The Craft Beer pub in deepest Brighton on Thursday. This one stood out as a reasonable slurp...I had a slight headache on Friday.

Bit blurry rich, how many did you have?
