I got told off for buying a Delirium Tremors glass. Mrs C said it wasn't funny and shouldn't be made light of. I didn't admit I'd only bought it because it had pink elephants on and shuffled off to read what Delirium Tremors actually were.

I had the smaller can of festbeer last night, I might have to put a peg on my nose and force the big one down.

The Lomond was a strange one, typical modern IPA, but not clear or full on cloudy either, a kind of murkiness that made it seem to taste a bit thin.

I’d agree with you about the Lomand, it starts out ok but doesn’t go anywhere

This is nicer imo from Lidl at the moment

This is a favourite

Marstons used to brew it for Tesco, it was called revisionist rye pale ale but it was discontinued

Fast forward and Sainsbury’s now stock it as this

And I’m glad about it

I never quite got rye beers - somehow, they're always on the edge of being enjoyable but don't quite make the grade for me. I do love the colour of them, though.

Not sure I've ever been served a beer in a crystal glass before

At least they took the flowers out first.

I wouldn't bother with the Steamtown IPA, it reminded me of medicine, I've just poured half of it away and open up a Big Job.

There’s a lot of rye pales thatvdont make the grade, a Guinness version springs to mind but this has more going for it,

For £1.50 per bottle, it’s gotta be worth a punt

Marstons used to brew Lidl’s Amber Adder too which was a ridiculously good beer for the price but they stopped a while ago - I think one of the Kent breweries make it now and I don’t like it

Wild Beer Bruty and the Yeast. It's a refreshing brut IPA.

Enjoyed a large bottle of Morretti tonight.
Only £1:60 from Iceland ( the beer is from Italy )
Last time I had it on draught in Glasgow it was almost a fiver a pint.

First proper craft place I've found in Gent and they have BBNo on tap. Most excellent!

Is that BBNo's TDH? They had some at a local beer festival but it would have knocked me out. It's important to pace yourself.....

This is 55, a DIPA. Pacing myself before I hit up the 85 TIPA!

Sorry, the TIPA was the beer I meant. The 55 is pretty good, isn't it.

Anyhow, meet Pam, she's a Pressure Drop spring seasonal sour. It's more a Saison than a sour but a Spring seasonal Saison doesn't quite work as a description.

My starter last night, lovely
