Beer?

[figbat]

Just the one tonight. Nice, fresh lager.

Followed by another West Berkshire Brewery offer:

They're not cheap, but every time I drink a Cloudwater brew, it seems they are a cut above. They were launched with a huge amount of hype, but seem to have kept standards high.

After several hours washing then polishing the caravan I definitely earned this.

Santo, dry-hopped lager (and IKEA meatballs).

My neighbour helped me raise a concrete fence post. I got him a box of assorted Adnams brews. [Un?]fortunately he no longer keeps beer in the house so I helped myself to the lighter ones and gave the heavy ones to my brother in law.

Northern Monk, one of their Old Flax Store series with Earl Grey and hibiscus. Light on the hibiscus, quite strong on the Earl Grey.

Fresh delivery from Left Handed Giant, a 12% Imperial Stout of the super-indulgent kind, with honeycomb, maple and pecan.

We are Ghosts on the Moon!

LHG Woodland Creatures, collab with het Uiltje, honeycomb and pistachio. The King of the Woodlands was the Imperial version, this is the gentle 6.9% version.

Yes, mine too. Patron or one of the newer subscriptions? I was wondering whether to switch or not.

Patron, we joined a few months ago when subscriptions again became available. Had a few deliveries from them during lockdown, and having a daughter who lives in Leeds, a pilgrimage to the Tap Room ( and that of the also excellent “ North “ brewery ) is on the cards.

He he, last time I was in Leeds I discovered the hotel I was in was only 200 yards from North's taproom. With a microbrewery just around the block, a couple of craft beer places on the block and several Leeds brewery outlets, I never managed to get over to the Old Flax Store. I've got it pencilled in for autumn if the covid rate (though double jabbed I still prefer to keep to ''cleanish'' areas) goes down.

Had a family Christmas in Leeds pre Covid. Mrs Tenkaykev and I stayed at an AirBnB in Chapel Allerton, a couple of hundred metres from a North pub ( and also a Samuel Smiths pub which was an interesting experience... )
I don't usually adorn my bikes but there was a sticker in a Monk delivery which seemed to suit.

Back to the Left Handed Giant stout theme: Magic Light, with chocolate, cinnamon and blueberry. The cinnamon's weak but the blueberry gives a tang to the richness.
