Beer?

[User169]

In other news, my night sweats have disappeared over the last week or two.

The HRT's kicking in!

Amsterdam beer in Amsterdam...

From Thwaites craft arm Big Ben brown ale, not overly hoppy despite 6 varieties of hops, not as tasty as it could be and not much of a finish, OK though I guess.

Soundwave IPA from Siren in Berkshire. I'd heard good things about them and I'm not disappointed. Lovely west coast style IPA. Avoids the overly grapefruit flavour, but still delivers a dry bitter finish.

Ok. After a long hard day at a badminton tournament one deserves a beer

This is a colonial effort at a stout. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. I will drink it but our colonial cousins need to know that stouts shouldn't be carbonated, shouldn't have chocolate and don'tt need to be 10%. I doubt Albert Tatlock would recognise this. Simply trying too hard. I appreciate some of you may disagree, like the bloke in the shop who dug out the book and read me the rundown on it.......OK, it is growing on me, a bit like 3bm but this is not necessarily a good thing.

Incidentally those medals say Rhyl on them. I was very careful to avoid Mathew_t though in his yellow busby car.

I take it that the boys were the medal winners, not you, you lazy scouser?

Boy: he cleaned up today, singles and doubles but of course he couldn't have done it without my beer drinking genes.

Black Maria from To Ol. Black IPA - quite sweet as it looks like they dose it with lactose - but still with the characteristic To Ol/Mikkeller hoppiness. Great name fora beer too.

For my money (and unfortunately they want rather a lot of it), To Ol is one of the best brewers around at the mo.

Goseator from "Gasthaus und Gosebrauerei Bayerischer Bahnhof Leipzig".

A double bock ale brewed with spice and matured in tequila oak barrels.

Fantastic brew. Salty, spicy, vanillary with a boozy tequila finish. Best beer of 2014.

I had a Hell for my 2nd beer but I've now learnt not to follow a dark powerful beer with a light lager. I can't taste it; at all.

He is taking it easy though. For a Basingstoker.
