Beer?

[smutchin]

Had lunch at Wahaca on Friday. Limited choice of liquid refreshment but I must say the bottle of Negra Modolo (black Mexican lager) I opted for was a very pleasant and suitable accompaniment to the food.

Had a bit of a homebrew sampling session yesterday. First I cracked open an 8-week old bottle of Saison. Lovely. Malty with a nice farmyardy yeastiness, and very refreshing...

Then I sampled my blackberry wheat beer, which has been in the bottle less than two weeks. Rather pleased with how this one has turned out - could do with a touch more fruit but it's turned out crisp and refreshing, very dry, not overpoweringly fruity but with a nice lingering blackberry aftertaste...

Difficult one this,but I am partial to the products offered by Geltsdale,Corby, and Yates micro"s.If any of you are ever passing through Brampton,Cumbria, the brewery is close to the centre{which is small} and they have a brewery tap.

Duchesse Du Bourgogne. Never had this on tap before. A massive whiff of nail polish volatiles, although that goes away a bit as you drink it. Really reminds me of Chateau Musar in a way.

I'm gonna get some.

Edit: just found a bottle of Double Drag lurking in the cupboard.

Franziskaner (incorrect glass shocker). A trusty stalwart.

Nice glass ornament, DP.

Hobson's Postman's Knock, a porter that really delivers, geddit!

It's not bad at all but could do with a tad more oomph.

What do you call a beer drinking 'champagne socialist'?

Got stuck in Utrecht earlier in the week: now this is what I call a tap menu. Love the old-skool lettering.
