Beer?

[MossCommuter]

"The Rip" by Track stole the show yesterday.

That cherry stout Cloudwater x Lervig collaboration is a special treat too

Rugby beer.

As I was out, and as it had been an abortive shopping trip, I continued on to the Meantime Brewery's tap room bar. It's a funny brewery - they made a name for themselves and then turned themselves from a growing microbrewery into a micro-corporate brewery, selling out to a big megabooze conglomerate on the way. The end result seems to be competent but soulless, but that might be down to the bar ambiance.

Anyhoodles, my 4th of the month was a London pale ale (disappointing front but good after that) and for my 5th I partook of a Yakima Red (which reversed the pale ale's travels over my taste buds and started well but ended empty when I expected at least some kind of aftercare bitterness.) I'm now idly wondering how they'd combine in a half-and-half kind of way.

Back to beer tonight with another local lad.

Very good and one I would certainly seek out again.

Glad it's good beer because it's a rubbish name and label, my prejudice would've prevented me from buying that.

Is that because it's too close to the truth !

Drinking 'Pint' by Marble Brewery. Very good

It's a zinger! Pith, grapefruit pith, sour but but bitter sour. So much for "ok mossy, We're drinking cask beer in the week from now on"

Oh well, I'm worth it

The Ham Fisted is a nice DIPA, but I was not overly bothered about the splatterberry (raspberry sour). It was interesting though.
Puffing Billy was another interesting beer and lightly smoked.

Was there the other day and there was no Wee Heavy and none expected until much later in the year. There's some in a cask that's expected to be ready around October.

Jakehead IPA was the pick of the beers we tried. The roasted corn also recommended.

I just had a sip of Crate Brewery's Lemon Gose. Intense sour lemon and salt. But that was just a sample - research to follow at a later date.

So, back to Keguary. Howling Hops provided my 6th and 7th. A pale ale which convinced me that these newer hops have actually been crossed with grapefruit. Rather enjoyable and it's a beer I'll revisit. Then, a pint of das Köolsch, which despite the non-German looking spelling was a German style lager and a bit nondescript. So I'll nondescript it. If you mixed it with the Gose, I think you'd probably end up with a Radler with real attitude. Both HH beers were cloudy, so they were probably unfined. Or unpasteurised. Or unsomethinged.

I had a meeting at a "We Work" serviced office complex in London today. All perfectly normal (except I was probably the oldest person in the building) until they mentioned FREE BEER

From 2pm every day apparently you can just help yourself from.the four taps they have. I had a Camden Pale Ale

Unfortunately I had a train to catch...I need to plan this one better next time

I had a Camden pale just over a week ago. A bit cold and lively straight from the pump, but it turned out to be a rather enjoyable pint once it had settled down. I'd have another.....

KF. It's a quite passable yellow beer, but a bit too malty for my taste.
