Huma Lupa Licious from the US. Very grassy. Not bad, but wonder if it could be a bit fresher.

I was at an awful bar last night for a colleague's birthday drinks. Plumped for a pint of Bass as the least worst of the offerings. Yuck. Over-chilled, thin, flat and lifeless. No head at all. The only way in which it resembled the Bass I used to drink as a teenager was the slightly sulphurous background note (and the prolific bottom burping the morning after).
After two pints of that, I moved on to the Hoegaarden, which was served in a standard nonic glass with an unsolicited wedge of lime floating in it. Most peculiar. Again, it had all the life chilled out of it.
If I'd stayed longer, I would have moved on to tap water.

Oh dear, I'm coming to the conclusion that life's too short to drink cr@p beer....
Today so far.....
Buxton black rocks black ipa - really good, rich and fruity
Estrella inedit, the ferran Adria witbier which went very well with v spicy steak tacos
Mallinson oatmeal stout - lovely and smooth, didn't touch the sides though after a day dropping the MiL at the station and running round regents park with the kids.

Agreed. I need to find new drinking buddies.

I'm off to the Beer Festival at Olympia tonight with work.
I've never been before, any advice for a first timer.
Should I buy the full or half pint glass?
I guess you get to sample more with a half pint, but will I spend all night in a queue for beer?

We're going on Friday and it'll be my fourth year and himself's 9th (I think). We tend to get a half pint glass each and buy thirds of pints as it means not getting stuck with a drink that's not great and you get to try more that way. I rarely buy a full pint of anything these days unless it's something I really love such as a decent wheat beer or something from the London Fields brewery.

Up to a point, Lord Copper...
I'm not so keen on Chimay* but if your alternatives are Orval, Achel and Rochefort, that's not such a hardship.
*Blue is good but I'd rather drink Orval any day. I'd rather drink Orval than most things though.

Mythos, Fix or Amstel seems to be my regular choices at the moment.

Was in Rochefort this morning. Scored some nice cheese and, er, head cheese. You can't visit the abbey or brewery unfortunately.

The Blue one is blinking fine.
Today I'm on Rochefort 10. Don't want to be controversial just for the sake of it, but reckon it better than Westvleteren 12. W12 is quite variable and it's rep is a bit of a function if its scarcity. Mind you,even duff batches are rather tasty.
Orval is somehow the most mysterious!
