Beer?

[gavgav]

As a reward for spending most of the day constructing an ikea wardrobe, I have a bottle of Tall Toad from the hawkshead brewery to enjoy. Special edition one for the Cumbria comic festival

I've tried the Boondoggle and the Fursty Ferret and would happily give both a few more whirls....churs!

If they have anything from the Black Isle Brewery, I recommend it.

Good to see Scotchish beers going through something of a revival after the dark S&N years.

Didn't get a chance at any more, in fact had to give one away. It's logged for next time though.

Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout kickin' it off tonight.

So far I'd tend to agree and in that order too. I put the 2nd one up to a vote at the dinner table and Fursty Ferret won. Proving, it's all in the name.

My son has just donated this to his old man...it's possible that it will be the first decent Italian beer I've tasted
Doppio malto artigianale

Both brewed just up the road from me

Same brewery as the coffee one I had the other week!

Any good? I've just been informed that I have to wait until he arrives for lunch tomorrow so we can do a macho-bonding tasting!

[QUOTE 2797539, member: 259"]I love that. Makes you feel like you should be smerking park drives and wearing a white collarless shirt and a surgical truss.[/quote]

I've no idea what you're on about but I agree anyway.

@RichP - I have a feeling that might be one of the Italians that's brewed by Eddie Gadd in Ramsgate. It'll be bloody good if it is! Might be bloody good even if it isn't.

Having a night off drinking tonight (after three pints of Landlord at lunchtime yesterday and three bottles of homebrew in the evening) but I'm about to put the next batch of homebrew on - a Coopers Irish Stout. Wondering whether to do it straight or tinker with it by adding some of these EKG hops I've got left over from last time...

It was pretty good, drink it now and get him to bring another tomorrow for your mano e mano session.

There's none left.


It's not about quality is it. Is this thread about quality?

Got these two eisbocks today from the snappily named "stichting noord-hollandse alternatieve bierbrouwers". It's one of these breweries which gets all the beer made on contract - largely in Belgium I think.

The two are more or less the same beer, although the one on the right is aged on wood.

Just cracked open the regular version. Not a bad autumn beer - pretty sweet and spicy, but grain and hop flavour too.

It's the plastic dinosaur that's doing it for me DP.
