Beer?

[User169]

Outta the New Forest. Odd ashy finish, but very decent nevertheless. Check out the frame pump!

I've had a couple of Vibrant Forests, including a Citra IPA (not the DIPA) and both were good. If you ever come across their Pupa, I'd recommend it.

Is that can especially small or is that pump exceptionally big?

Pupa is a lovely beer!

The pump isn’t especially big - the photo shows the packaging. Bonkers expensive though.

First garden beer of the year!

We had a beer sampling last night courtesy of the proprietor of my local who'd just come back from Craft Beer Rising in that London. CBR was a bit underwhelming but the beer sampling was a lot of fun and got a bit silly

This is good.

Everything it says on the pump clip.

Likewise-they've made it as far as the Fell Bar in Penrith (IIRC I've also seen them at Tweedies in Grasmere). I've been sampling some Croatian beer recently (at 6 Degrees in Embra last week)-Medvegrad Crni Jack, which sounds like the latest arrival at Tynecastle or Easter Road but is actually a most agreeable black IPA. They always have some interesting beers there, including the Partizan/6 Dergrees A La Ronde Super Saison (8.7%, so I just had a half as I had more beers I wanted to sample ), one of the best saisons I've had recently . It was also great to see Orkney Brewery Dark Island on tap at the Guildford Arms, just across the road from Waverley station. It's a cracking classic dark beer, though this is the first time I can remember seeing it on draft. Churs!

The full line up and the winners:

Steam Machine's saison* beer was a revelation and the two Deya's were both taken to be Cloudwater (it was a blind sampling session).

*EDIT: brut IPA actually

Lots of head (as the Bishop said to the nun...)

High voltage messing tomorrow so I'll lay off.

More accurately big draw. It's the flow that kills.

there's a nice craft beer bar in Winchester where my current gig is. As well as various IPAs etc they stock a modest but well chosen selection of fine Belgian Beers. Tripel Karmelite is very much one of my favourites
