Beer?

[nickyboy]

It's time to grow up (a bit) when you have a few beers with the younger son and enjoy a bit of a laugh

Manchester after lunch. In the City Arms which is a proper old skool boozer. They don't do food (except pies and pickled eggs) but they do do beer

Titanic Plum Porter Grand Reserve. It was lovely. Currently on train home, slightly pissed

Love that stuff!

This is far better than it has any right to be for 99p from Aldi...

Harviestoun The Ridge pale ale, amarillo and fuggles hops for a mid-atlantic mix, wasn't that many years ago this level of hoppyness would qualify as IPA.

Note matching glassage.

Yumtus...

I thought I had more chance of seeing Lord Lucan on Glossop high street than you here again

Welcome back!

Tenuous beer-related article in the Graun. Former King of Belgium has to take a DNA test to determine whether or not he's the father of Delphine Boel...

De Struise, a brewery in Oostvleteren, has been brewing Black Albert, a Russian Imp Stout, in his "honour" for some time now. They also make a barrel-aged version "Cuveé Delphine" after Delphine. She heard about the beer and asked if she could design a label for it. The label says it all..

One Mile End Morello Cherry Gose at the Dog and Bell. Tangy!

And they've got a Deya Dust My Broom with my name on it in the pump. Actually the pub thinks it's Oust my broom but they clearly didn't grow up listening to the blues.

It's an American Pale and very Cloudwater with a fluffy top.

I haven't seen that one. There's a decent Jessie James IPA in there for maybe 20p more .Extortionate!

Oops, 3 posts in a row! Tiny Rebel Star Boy, a very gentle DIPA

I've had an R32 and an R23. Their R32 wasn't just a pale, it was a Paalee and, for the record, was rather good. The R apparently stands for Release. It's only slightly less confusing than BBNo's style|recipe format. They seem to be making up for the simplicity by giving them daft names to go with them.

Methinks the designers need to lay off the Red Bull! Oh and welcome back 3BM
I finished Hoptober with a schooner of Transmission (moreish DIPA) from North Brewing, which tasted even better on draught than it did in can. Staying in Leeds, I had a most excellent Kirkstall/De Mo Oatmeal Stout (De Addij & The Mill) at Carlisle Beer Festival on Saturday....deny the power of the dark side, you cannot. That was my favourite beer of the day, closely followed by Wander Beyond's Keeper of The Lychees (Double dry hopped Sour IPA). Wander Beyond are doing some really interesting beers , though the vanilla Pale didn't quite work for me (hmmm, maybe a vanilla sour?). Nice apricot sour Imperial Weisse (Loris, 7.2%, on tap at Fell Penrith ) from them as well-Chorlton have some serious competition in Manchester for the sour crown!

Pub porn...

While I was away for a week, Seamus has added 6 cider taps (at the back) and 5 more keg taps (consecrated to craft beers). So that's 26 taps, 2 members of staff and 2 customers last night! Bonkers.
Still, it'll be busier around the end of the month....

Strictly for the beer geeks, but this article showed up on facepants today about Delphine Boël and her eponymous beer.

Yesterday’s beer post. Some elusive Cantillon - Fou Founne made with apricots, Iris made without raw wheat and dry hopped and Nath made with rhubarb. Straight into the cellar to be stored for a rainy day.

Bought some Rooster's Baby Faced Assassin IPA in Morrisons. It's 100% Citra hops and 6.1%. I'm a fan.

It was priced at £1.50 a can or in the 4 for £6 offer, too!
