Beer?

[Origamist]

Had a few pints last night to celebrate my brother's birthday (he was not there, but that seemed a specious reason not to drink):





The latter tasted like liquefied Tangfastics.

I shall be having a few more tonight to celebrate commemorate St Crispin's Day.

Ah, couple of nice breweries there. Everything I've tasted from Magic Rock especially has been excellent. I'm not a big fan of berliner weisse, but I like the sound of liquid tangfastics!

Depending on which you had first Matt, 3.5% then 7% mathematically you should aim for a 14% tonight - the alternative doesn't bear thinking about

It'd have to be a Tactical Nuclear Penguin after that one then.

Kicking off the w/end at a modest 12%. Bourbon barrel aged barley wine from Emelisse. Utterly delicious!

That one got banned in Canada because of the bearded chap on the label. It was deemed to be targeted to children.

looks like a convivial old feller to me!

This is an extremely strong beer, it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.

I'm a bit sceptical about this one so I chickened out and had a pre-prandial Spitfire (a quid from Sainsburys for 500ml)

Just downed my first pint of Tetley, lovely.

I bought a couple of Ballards beers a few months ago, very disappointing I thought, couldn't understand it, they had good reviews from what I'd read. And I've met Fran too, seemed a jolly good egg.

Good old Marble brewery-The Charles Cotton in Hartington used to have their stuff on tap from time to time. They also do a 7% ish porter which packs quite a punch-have a drink on me!

Local boozer has just put Flying Dog's Barrel-Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter on tap. Not too shabby at all.

I had more than a few in the Charlie Cotton. It's been semi-poncified in the last year or two and lost its run-down, league of gentlemen feel. The Whim Ale is still good though.
