Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Williams Bros Golden Ale, it's a million degrees today so I'm afraid this went in the coolerator for a bit, sorry chaps...

Isle of Arran Blonde, another premium jock beer, hope they're still gonna ship this sort of stuff down the road after The Vote.

Some fine beer and fine pre-Tour-highlights viewing there @threebikesmcginty

Aldi have ended there Scottish Beer Festival but I still managed to pick up a few Scottish beers when I was in earlier.

I've kicked off the evening with Black Wolf Brewery's William Wallace Scottish 80/- Export.

The only slight problem is I seem to have picked up a cold and my taste buds are all over the shop and my eyes and nose are streaming - maybe more beer will help

Unfortunately, the only one that qualifies for the offer is Greene King Shandy... sorry, I mean Greene King IPA.

Haven't had that stuff for years but I'm too much of a cheapskate to pass up the offer, so that's what I ordered. My god, it's insipid! Cheapskate or not, I might have to splash out on some real beer next time, something that actually has a bit of flavour.

Just indulged in a bottle straight out of the fridge on a hot day.

First impressions - not bad at all but the flavour is very fragile and the final third of the pint was shucking fight.

Tonight's second beer is Inveralmond Brewery's Lia Fail

Malty and hoppy.

Williams Bros Golden Ale

I have had 2 bottles of their "7 Giraffes" this evening. I was wary of it from the description on their webpage, which spoke of a "late infusion of Elderflower and Lemon" and also due to the wánky name. But I'll tell you what, it's a great ale. There are few beers which could overcome a cold, and cut through a nose which has been chafed by tissues and lathered in tea-tree lotion to try to help the scabs heel. But this one nails it.

I hope they find this review and use it on their webpage

Yin and Yang Black and Tan from Evil Twin. I'm such a sucker for this type of crap. You buy a bottle of Yin stout (10%) and a bottle of Yang IPA (10%) and then get instructed to mix them.

Remarkably it's all quite nice and you only have to pay 7 British spondoolicks for the privilege.

Think I'd rather drink them separately.

That's a strong IPA, what was it like on its own without its evil twin?
