Beer?

New tablecloth, DP?

The Kernel Brown Ale, kind of bridging the gap between bitter and stout with a splash of porter, really nice beer.

I can confirm that I had a motley selection of fine English bottled beers at my sister's birthday bash this afternoon but, for some reason, |I can't for the life of me remember their names.

Hmmm....I know the feeling-never too much as Lionel Richie said!

Sorry to be a bit of a cliche, but you can't look passed Newcastle Brown Ale. Granted it's changed over the years but it's still a fantastic drink.

Big lamp breweries do a good version called Keelman Brown Ale and the Keelman pub is one of my planned tracks

Tried one of those Punk IPA's after finally getting past the written bumf. Very nice.

In a sour mood this evening - Lief en Leed on Cherries from DeMo. Very tart.

Ooh, that looks lovely, DP!

I called in at the Bottle Shop earlier because I thought I deserved a little treat...

And then I had to go to Waitrose, where they had a few special offers I couldn't resist...

Now drinking the Sam Adams. Cor, haven't had one of these for ages and I'd forgotten quite how good it is. It's one I tend to overlook as being towards the "ordinary" end of the craft beer spectrum, but it's an eminently quaffable drop of beer, very malty for a lager.

Now on the 7 Seas. This is special. Big roasty hit up front developing into a massive dose of resiny hops. Quite extreme but surprisingly well balanced and silky smooth. This is a somewhat better black IPA than the Black Betty I had last week.

Very nice. Big head, caught me out as I poured and i lost some

One of my favourites that one, along with Raven and Wild Swan.

It's best with Brewdog if you don't read the label nonsense: Punk is a decent enough US-style IPA without it.
