Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

I'd rather drink anything on that list than, say, Fosters (4%)...

I'd rather drink my own wazz than Fosters!

"If Carlsberg made wazz, it would probably be the best wazz in the world."

I'd rather drink your own wazz than Fosters!

Ew, this thread is starting to taste a little funny. Can we get back to beer?

Getting things back on track, sampled Thornbridge' St Petersburg on tap last weekend.

Something undefinably English about it which I couldn't quite put my finger on. What a great brew - so smooth with a slightly blue cheese note in the background.

How's that, FM?

Sauntering through St Pancs to the underground yesterday I spotted a beer shop that looked as though it might be worth a sniff. Excellent selection of London beers, snaffled their last 3 bottles of Kernel Export Porter and 3 others from various breweries I hadn't tried before. Result!

On a tangent, does anyone else do untappd? It's the slippery slope to tickersville but it does help me keep track.... I'm ceepeebee on there too.

Just signed up. Started checking in a few things I'd sampled over the past few weeks and it told me to slow down - I think it assumed it was a single session.

Ah cool, five points is run by a friend of a friend, their red rye is a really nice beer, quite sour. The partisan is a winner too, I liked that porter but the grisette saison of theirs is in my top five for the year.

Mrs ceepeebee has just gone out so I'm about to crack a fyne ales sublime stout, hopefully I'll get through it without either of the kids waking up....

Blimey, this stuff is a boozy meal in a glass. Feels much stronger than 6.8

Ok ceepeebee, you can tell your mate the 5 Star Trial Brew London Porter has the 3BM seal of approval, he can go ahead on a full batch now, he can drop it over when it's done!

The craft beer scene has been exploding in Japan. I'll be trying to visit at least one of these every couple of weeks over the 10 months I am in Tokyo...

Cool, popeye's has 70 beers on tap, that's some cellar! Couple of those bars look more like science labs though.

A nice little haul for the weekend. Six Dutch and a couple of Belgies

Mmmmm nice selection, DP, nice tablecloth too!

Had the London Fields 'Love Not War earlier, probably a celebration at the start of Le Tour or summat, anyway, very nice rich red ale, surprisingly hoppy for a darkish colour but not overdone, not sure about their description of malts and hops cuddling up or some such nonsense, it wasn't as mild as that, good beer though and tasty at 4.2%.
