The good news for everyone is that I was having a day-long series of Blood Pressure tests. When the results came back this morning there were two spikes of BP being lower than at other times - while I was in the pub at lunchtime and while I was drinking beer in the evening.

Pints all round for healthy blood pressure!

The cure for high blood pressure should be available on the NHS, especially now I get free prescriptions...

Well two, car reasons.

That 'Lagonda' is from Marble brewery that people of this parish seem to favour.

I tried it this week and thought it was pretty good.

Hey @DP, I'm going to be in Amsterdam next week for a couple of days. Any good bar and ale recommendations gratefully received

Mega awesome line up of beers collected from a local beer tap near work.. after a crafty sampling of their wares obviously...

Hey @DP, I'm going to be in Amsterdam next week for a couple of days. Any good bar and ale recommendations gratefully received

Bars:

Arendsnest for Dutch beer
In de Wildeman for old time atmos
Bier temple for US beer (expensive even by Dutch standards and not the most gezellig of places)

Off license:

Bierkoning is still the best beer shop in NL and just off Dam square

Brewpubs:

Oedipus brewing - nice beer, decent food, but check opening hours
Brouwerij ‘t Ij - nice location in a windmill. - recently acquired by Duvel - good selection of largely BE style brews, but also doing some craft beery type stuff

Beer:

Oedipus and ‘t Ij are the best Amsterdam breweries. Others: De Prael, Pontus, Two Chefs and Butchers tears are ok.

Uiltje from Haarlem are making some great IPAs, Moersleutel do good imp stouts, Apistogramma from Frontaal/Kromme Haring is an interesting brew that got released a couple of weeks ago. Tommie Sjef for sour stuff, although you’ll be lucky to see any for sale

Best bet though is to jump on the train to Utrecht and I’ll take you to Cafe Derat!

This is very special.

Thanks, I'll have to see how it all panne's out!

As is Dobber, and it's even better than Lagonda. That's the one I would go with (presupposing you're limited to one which I hope you're not as it looks like a great selection)

@MossCommuter sure you know this, but De Molen are at Beermoth this evening

Yes, I did know but I'll be there tomorrow for leftovers

I've just had 3 pints of keg beer and I didn't really enjoy 2 of them and disliked one of them. In order: Yeovil Ales Yolo#8 - hopelessly heavy with the hops. A New Zealand Pale Ale and really not my cup of beer; Rudgate Ruby mild: more to enjoy and savour, besides, we don't see enough mild around. However, ok but not one of the best; Grainstore Cooking - described as a permanent ale, it's meant to be more sessional than seasonal, I gather. Just about ok.

That, if I remember correctly, takes me up to the 10 2/3rd of Keguary. Hard work for what's been a consistently easy challenge up to now.

Still, there's another 3 guest beers on tap at the Dog and Bell so redemption may be possible.

Skip the Shindigger

Meh

Piwaka Waka is pretty good though

 

[jongooligan]

Rugby beer.

A right mix up there. Going to have to work out the running order very carefully for maximum enjoyment.

Also, before I start on those (and the others in the garage) we're nipping down to the cricket club to watch Leeds beat Sheffield United and have a few pints. It's going to be a long day so we'll need to pace ourselves carefully. Shouldn't think we'll be going out tonight.

Likewise, and Almasty are well worth a punt too. They're from Newcastle ye knaaaaaaaaa like man!
