Had a few bottles of Toast.
Made with waste bread, which seems like a good idea.

XX Bitter from De Ranke
Sensational beer. It’s always great from the bottle, but this is the first time I’ve seen it on draft. A little more butter on the finish maybe compared to the bottle version. Butter is usually seen as a flaw in brewing, but kinda like how this soothes out bitterness of the bottle version.
Off to that Belgium tomorrow!

How was it? I have a can in my stash .Allendale are a brewery who always do some good stuff- Victoria (single hop) and Force Majeure (Mosaic + Vienna) in top form at the Fell Bar, Penrith at the mo .
I liked it - got a nice hit of hop aroma when the can popped. Don't save yours for a rainy day! Gotta drink Cloudwater as fresh as you can get it.

So Seamus down the Bog and Dell decided to launch his Welsh beer festival on St Andrews day - thus the British Isles makes up its own rules on integration. Being born in England, and therefore unrepresented, I decided it was Portering Friday. A Tenby Brewing Co's The Richard Bacon Incident. A thoroughly decent and smooth ''coffee milk'' keykegged porter. After enjoying a Tenby Gose earlier, I plumped for another Tenby offering: a cask ''Black Flag Rum Porter.'' They're not half bad, these Tenby chaps and chappesses. Anyhow, it reminded me of that rum and raisin chocolate.
But my favourite porter of the night was a Villages Oboe. They'd held a little back from last year's batch and infused it with raspberry, vanilla and cacao nibs for the best part of a year. Where the Tenby rum gave a sweetness to the rum, the Oboe gave an almost tart fruitiness to the chocolate of the porter. Here's one I drank earlier:
A little note about Villages brewery: they're not much bigger than a micro-brewery but they're competent, fun, and so close it's not worth getting the bike out to go there. If anyone ever sees their beers about, give them a try - a couple of their collaborations haven't tasted really Villagy but they have a solid grasp of beer boozery.
Currently beering down with a Château Neuf du Pape but there's probably a thread for that somewhere....

Well, that didn't last long! Here's a big and smoky Fruju pale out of the Big Smoke stables. I believe this the first beer I have ever had from Surbiton and it's not bad. But how on earth can a Surbiton brewer call itself the Big Smoke...?

Try asking the management of Luton Airport...they seem to have a flexible approach to what constitutes the Big Smoke

I really didn't mean to get blotto last night but the thing is, M&S Citra 500ml cans were not only half price (£1.25 instead of £2.50), they were also on the 4 for the price of 3 offer...
That works out at less than a pound a pint!
So it would have been rude not to.

Got to keep their stock circulating from time to time. Necessary work.
