I couldn't let Halloween completely pass me by. Pumpkin ale. The beer that thinks it's a Glühwein.

Right, Here's What You Need To Know... This Belgian Bitter's yeast actually gives it banana undertones. It's rare that my tastebuds coincide with the can's tasting notes. I've a few more Cloudwater beers in the fridge following an early evening visit to their taproom.

So I usually have to pass a half hour each week at Antwerp train station catching a connection. Turns out there's a craft beer bar/bottle and no-one told me. And they stock rather good tinnies outta that UK.

This is nice, if a bit more astringent than o expected.

I gather Loka Polly had to change their name to Polly's Brew because Loka was already somebody's beer brand. That reminds me, there are a couple of north Wales breweries worth a visit.

That's what I understood too DM. Have fun on your N Wales travels and don't forget to report back!

"Banana Undertones" sounds like a reggae/punk fusion outfit. So, on that basis, I'm in

Titanic stout, a very rounded winter drink.

I'd just decided to stay in this evening but your post just reminded me how good it was. So, cheers to you!

I had a gorgeous Track Third Wheel gooseberry sour last night. Best gooseberry sour ever! No pics because I got the server to pose with it for my brother and nephew, it wouldn't be fair to post it up publically. But it's a must for gooseberry lovers.

I also had a Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Irish Cream porter. Stay Puft is now a theme and the Irish Cream one is a very good variation. Recommended too.

Great place to stay, rooms are in part of the brewery complex... 👍

My favourite from last night...

Quite different the usual Arbor stuff. Very fruity quite sweet. Not to everyone taste I,m sure. I enjoyed it.
