Beer?

No photo, but after today's ride I just about had time for a quick pint at the Hamilton Hall 'Spoons next to Liverpool Street station and was delighted to find they had EVA IPA on sale and for under £4 for a pint

I had to search that - it's a Leeds Brewery concoction.

Tiny Rebel x Project D got so involved listing the flavours that they forgot to give it a name. There are probably very few other Cookie Dough, Vanilla, Chocolate & Salted Caramel Doughnut Glaze Stouts around so there should be little confusion....

Shocking glassage ... But lovely beer 🍺 👍

Elusive Dark Forces, a black IPA.

The table's not level!

Was hosting some US visitors in Bath a while back - much mirth (and refusal to sample) Butcombe

That looks lovely, I can almost taste it.

Does it taste like an IPA?

No, I didn't think so. I think the roast malt took the flavour towards dry stout territory. Elusive say they put lots of hops in though.

Thanks, I rather suspected that might be the case. Curious to try it, but will endeavour not to think of it as an IPA.

I think that's the way to do it if you bump into one.

I'll probably get grief for this but I think beer choices amongst some cyclists are often elitist and way too try hard bit like clothing which has to be a named brand or you are looked down on. Some like to say their favourite tipple is some obscure Belgian micro brewery as it's the done thing.
Now I'm sure for some it is but I do get impression that some try very hard to be in the "in crowd".

Personally i'll quite happily drink a pint of Peroni.

As long as it's a Peroni brewed in Italy - and not the rubbish brewed here under license in the UK (of which there's far too much supposedly Continental Lagers).

I'm more of a seasonal drinker, and I'm still on the Stout, Porters, Bitters and Dark Ales......The crisp 'proper' Lagers can wait, as can the occasional IPA; of which I have a bit of a problem with. Far too many overly hopped, grapefruit tasting IPAs with a fancy name in a colourful can - and then prefixed by West Coast or New England, etc And then called 'Craft Beer' when a lot are just 'rats pi55'.

Last night's new to me selection.

Brewdog was very average.

Brooklyn has a lovely flavour to it.

Vocation was the pick of the bunch, it has a fair kick to it.

Newcastle Brown for me in a propper bottle too. Away the lads 🍺
