Beer?

[NorthernDave]

A new micropub has opened nearby, and as we were passing it seemed rude not to call in for a couple.

First up was Back Yard Brew's The Shed Head, all the way from Sweden apparently:

It's an American Pale Ale, although as you can see it's a bit darker than you might expect. And very good it was too.

I then had a Jorvik Premium Blonde from Rudgate Brewery at Tockwith, which was blonde and very hoppy.

Mrs ND was happy that they had "proper" lager, which you can just see skulking at the side of the pic...

Strangely enough I also had one last night. Delicious and, yes, it certainly keeps the taste buds fascinated.

I also tried out a Siren Strawberry Praline American Stout which they launched on Monday. It has a running undercurrent of hazelnut, kind of doing the job of lactose in a more substantial way with only the lightest tang of strawberry. As I shared the first one, I'm having the second all to myself!

I know. If you look at page1 of this thread it's all about Kronenburg and Boddingtons

Where did it all go wrong?

Fear and Loathing in Adelaide

Hopsmith by Akasha Brewery in NSW. 7.2% and it's only 6pm so God only knows how tonight's gonna work out

It's a normal strong IPA. And all the better for that

Why is Oz beer so expensive?

Do they still ban women and have urinals under the bar?

My second Abyss Tropical Thunder of the week in a different boozer.
Well worth glugging again

Northern Monk Beer and Art 02 is a sour FLIPA and reminds me i must get up to Leeds soon. Next to it is a gifted 8 Wired sour IPA that needs a bit of a chill before drinking

Floridian IPA ....yes, I had to Google it too

Or just Florida IPA. I had to ask when I first saw it. Some day soon, no doubt, the Mid West will launch a MWIPA.

Oooooh it's been a long time since I had a Gunamatta. Still good though

Get that wall repainted for feck's sake

The wall doesn't bother me at all. Radio 5, however, drives me bonkers.

I need a splashback but I don't like tiles. Not the splashback you're thinking of, Nicky ..

Me too but I turn over for the football after The Archers ..
