Beer?

[User169]

Emelisse's "Black IPA" to kick-off the weekend. Not bad, but not as good as the Kernel version I had recently.

Now onto Punk IPA. Usually quite like it, but it tastes a bit dull after the Emelisse.

Went to a beer festival last night, just trying to remember my selection. Erm.

I had a Westmalle triple and dubbel. Awfully nice but I foolishly followed up with a glass of viognier, more than one glass of cotes du rhone, and a nightcap of Glenlivet.

Westmalle dub is one if my faves.

Right...

Bewdley, Mucklow's dark mild 6%
Green Jack, Ripper Tripel 8.5%
Hastings Porter 5.8%
Nine Standard, double standard porter 4.7%
Quartz, mysterious mild 4.8%
White Horse, the guv'nor 6.5%
XT, 08 oak aged dark 4.5%
Apply ever after cider 12%

Pint at the local on the way home to refocus the mind. Very pleasant evening.

Me too. The standard by which allothers are judged. Same with the Tripel.

Good for cooking with too!

Bought this last night in a total fit of madness...

Just looked at the reviews on ratebeer. Oops!

Bit pricey here for cooking sherry!

Brouwerij'tij Ijndejaars...is that right? Very nice, doesn't taste like a 9%er, nice interesting flavour that I can't quite pin down yet.

Not too rare these days, but just had a cold

and look forward to the next two in the space of a few minutes.

I'm most definitely a real ale bloke, but a good Belgian (any beer, really) beer goes down well.

And as I've grown older, they stay down, too!

"End of year" I think. The brewery has a very distinctive style. They've been a bit eclipsed by De Molen now, but for a while were NL's only really interesting brewery.

That reminds me of shaking the last remnants of a bottle of Pitchfork (RCH).

And yep, that looks lovely...
