Beer?

[Maverick Goose]

I've really got to try homebrewing now-my grandad was really into it and I can still remember the smell of malt wafting through the house while I watched Jackanory. Jumpers for goalposts, hmmm....

I've just put another batch of homebrew on this evening - a Woodforde's Wherry kit beefed up with the addition of a bunch of Fuggles hops and a bag of spraymalt, with further beefing up in a few days by dry-hopping with Goldings. All being well, it should be hitting peak condition in time for the family Christmas do...

I quite fancy doing some proper (all grain) brewing but kits make it so easy and the results can be excellent.

Pannepot Reserva on tap. Wow - the perfect autumn beer.

(And a successful piccy!).

Now onto Tjeeses 2013 (another brew from De Struise). It's a tripel, but a bit sweet for me.

Last preprandial. Black Albert from De Struise. I love this this beer - beautifully balanced hoppy bitterness, roast malt and some chocolate sweetness as it warms up. 13%, but it hides it well.

Went to an drinks do at a bar in Covent Garden last night and met up with a friend beforehand for a quick one in the Cross Keys. Had a pint of London Fields pale ale. Magnificent. It's a veritable hop monster.

The do was good but I would rather have spent the evening in the pub, drinking fine Brodies beers instead of the assortment of indistinguishable bottled foreign lagers that were on offer in the bar.

What a wonderfully overblown entrance to the pub Smutch!

Yes, it is rather splendid. It's a proper old Victorian boozer. Looks great inside too. One of my favourite pubs in London - couldn't very well not pay it a visit last night since I was over that way anyway.

I called into my local hostelery, The Mitre Inn, and had a couple of pints of Crafty Devil from the Thwaites brewery from Blackburn, Lancashire A very nice pint to. 4.3%, nice ruby red colour. It went down a treat.
