Yumto!!!!

First impression is that it's not as good as 2012 or 2013, but very fine nevertheless. Grapefruit in the nose, but not overwhelming.

Nothing like letting a bottle settle and then pouring carefully!

Just had a trip to the homebrew shop to get the ingredients for my next project - a "Saison" style brew made to a recipe from the Coopers website. I'm doing it for my sister's big birthday bash in June. If I get it on now, that should give it plenty of time to condition...

You're an inspiration to us all smutchkins, I'm not making any though, it's just inspiring me to pop a top.

Stroud Brewery, Tom Long organic amber ale with coriander and orange peel, not picking up any of that but it's pleasantly malty, not quite as good as its SIBA silver medal would suggest.

I'm away in the Peaks so a pint of Hartington Bitter from the local Whim Ale brewery is a must. It's a light hoppy and quaffable slurp. Not something to drink all night though.
I went for a ride yesterday and popped into a boozer in Waterhouses for lunch. The landlord told me that the Doombar he serves is now the biggest selling draught bitter in England now, having surpassed Pedigree. Is that true?
I tried this Stoke bitter at a meagre 3.8% but it was tolerably good and a choice

considering I had a 20 mile ride back...

Saw a pic of this earlier, it's a promotional van from the 1920s, rich will probably remember them.

That Cream Egg car in the background looks fun!

I've quaffed an Old Slug or two.

Don't know if that's true, but the brewery that makes it was acquired by Molson Coors a couple of years ago for 20 million squids.

Couldn't resist!

Keep you going until tea time.

Kid 1 was at a birthday party so took the opportunity to support a local business - Toga Man from the BBC, very nice beer with quite a long bitter finish for a 4.2%er - good stuff!

Ah I drank many a pint of Hartington when I lived in that fair toon [jumpers for goalposts hmmm....]
