Beer?

[rich p]

Not strictly beer related but my daughter has moved back to Brighton today so we've cracked open the Moet & Chandon
I'm so sophisticated, I am.

Double Espresso from Broeder Jacob. A Belgian brown ale flavoured with coffee. Not terribly exciting, but drinkable.

From the craft dept. of Thwaites.

Stay tuned, let you know shortly...

It's good, not a game changer in the hop world, good effort though.

Nice one, Rich!

Shopping time! Kernel IPA mosaic on tap. Not at all what I expected. Quite creamy, biscuit flavour and not too aggressive with the bitterness. Nice!

Stout 8 from Maximus. Nice grain flavour in this one.

Bit of a short measure there, DP!

Just cracked open a bottle of Fullers Bengal Lancer which I had had in draught form in the London riverside pub a couple of weeks ago. Pretty good - fruity and bittersweet. My descriptive prose is lacking

Had BG a couple of times, not a bad effort. Had a Fullers ESB the other week, used to really like this one years ago and thought I'd try it for old times sake, hated it, couldn't finish it. Strange that.

Never been a fan of ESB or Gales HSB for that matter. Too strong for me but I like the men who drink it.
Stronger tasting in the alcohol sense than many with a higher abv for some reason.

I was forced to go to some restaurant and be social.

Oh yeah and pay too

I ordered a half to go with the first and they brought me a pint, then tried to take it away when I said it was meant to be a half but I fought them off and in the confusion they only charged me for a half.

Is that your first experience of restaurant food that wasn't delivered by a bloke on a moped?
