Beer?

Feeling like cr@p. Covid19 and all that. Dad's funeral approaching next week. Dug this out, best before 11/20. Ha, you'd not of guessed. Forgot how good it was.

My condolences. I'll drink to his memory

I'm not a fan of Belgian blonds but I do like the dark abbey beers, so when I went into B+M Bargains to get a few things for the dog a couple of these jumped in my basket.

Excellent value at £1.49, they had about thirty more, and the only thing that's stopping me going back tomorrow is knowing how much grief I'll get for having all that beer in the house. 😂

I'm having a light bulb moment. Best idea I've had all day!

This is a great beer that I've only drunk as keg before. It's not as good out of the can but they've made it a 500ml can to compensate.

Over the past few weeks I've been drawn to this, not a bock in the same way as the lovely German winter beers but still a nice rounded malty flavour.

Very nice light ale....
Might have a few of these...

Left Handed Giant have brewed a fresh lot of King of the Woodlands. This means that I've put an order in, which in turn means I can have one of their last batch that I've been keeping for months.

I was reading a column in the Guardian " Life and Style " 17th February. The column was about Chef's and Food Writers preferences for " Off Brand " ingredients that they use and recommend. The article was mainly foodstuffs, but in the comments section there were some interesting gems, and a discussion about various supermarket beers. Well worth scrolling through.
Gems such as Lidl own brand IPA is repackaged " Radical Road " and a lot of Lidl beers are brewed by Stewart Brewery. Aldi tends to be William Brothers / Drygate, and a discussion o f the various German beers they sell with recommendations and criticisms of various brews. It's a bit of a trawl through the comments, but as previously mentioned, there's some useful information there.

And, just to confuse the brewer-shop associations, my local Lidl has a Rhubarb Berliner Weisse that comes from Drygate. Nobody seems to buy it so they'll probably have a few left over when I next visit.

A new record for the price of a pint for me, £6.30 for a Brixton Craft IPA @ The Crown in Cookham !

Very nice light ale but crikey....

Northern Monk's Brethren box arrived today. So here's a fruity berry sour IPA. Blackberry to the fore with raspberry tagging along.
