Beer?

[User169]

A *case* of bernie 12s....

I had to have a lie down after seeing that!

Oh, I've got a Greek beer (fix?) that my drinking buddy brought round on Tuesday when we did a bit of a session. That could be interesting.

I've been sent out to do more shopping - result!

The saison dupont is good - now eyeing up a Black Albert from de Struise.

Saison DuPont is just great, I love it....and have a bottle in the stash. Ilkely's rhubarb saison, called Siberia iirc is well worth digging out btw.

Fillers esb is an odd one on there, not a favourite of mine, apparently it's spawned loads of clones in the states and when we were chatting to some us beer geeks at the Easton tap a while ago they were doing some sort of pilgrimage to the brewery to taste some.

Oh, and you know what's v underrated on that board? The Achel, I love it but it never seems to get the love the other Trappists do.

Agree. Achel doesn't do much marketing, but the beer is sound

Well no sooner than the old wine merchant starts stocking St Bernies they then go and get some Kernel in too, 3 sorts of IPA, I've instructed them to get some porter and stout.

Life takes on a whole new meaning!

Hel en Verdoemenis Misto (Bourbon Barrel Aged). What a beer!

DP, your life seems to be like something out of a 70s sitcom. 'er indoors sends you out for a bag of spuds and you're off down the boozer for quick pint or three almost before the door's opened...

I had to content myself to a small Hoegaarden tonight - it was either that or Carlsberg - but you know, as far as widely available beers go, there are few better for a hot, sunny early summer evening.

From what I gather DP lives in town, you'd have thought Mrs DP would've wondered why it always takes him 3 to 4 hours to buy a few groceries by now!

Spuds?! This was full on kaffir lime leaf - galangal crisis!

(Hoegaarden is a good summer thirst quencher - I might even have been known to have it with a slice of lemon. )

Was reading some of the ratebeer reviews - somebody described it as having an ecru-coloured head. Now I'm as down as anyone with a bit of beer ponciness, but ecru?!

Spotted in the bakery this morning. Chocolate Duvels! Intended for fathers day pressies I think..

Little Creatures pale ale, Australian bottle conditioned, quite hoppy, not overly flavoursome but not bad. For the ozzies!

Also picked up 3 different beers from Compass Brewery in Carterton, not tried their wares before.
