Beer?

[Deedee58]

Can I just say I really enjoy the Sixpoint beers that are currently being stocked in't spoons, the Crisp is really like the malt beer of the 70s Breaker... still good tho' Cider and Beer festival on this weekend at Hare and Hounds Padiham Lancs keeps a mean pint does the lad

I've been enjoying Brasserie de la Senne's beers of late. Cracking beers and great labels.

Tonight's entertainment is Sorachi Ace Farmhouse Ale from Brooklyn.

Tastes massively of bubblegum, but that works well with the overall saisonesque feel. Very nice looking too - clean white persistent foam, although lacks the champagne fizz of Dupont.

Lovely brew, but just needs to be a bit more rustic.

I am having an evening with the Messrs. Innis and Gunn "Original"

If Stone City Ales keep this up, I will be a very happy man.

Well, I was talking to the barman at my usual local, and he told me that the brewer at Stone City Ales was previously working at Nickel Brook, whose beers I've already said are probably the most interesting in Ontario. So that could explain the quality and adventure in these early brews.

And apparently they have a saison that will be ready next week. Again, this is rather ambitious for a new brewery, but I have a lot of confidence in them alreayd. And I'm a huge saison fan so I'm looking forward to this.

The Kernel Table bottle-conditioned beer must surely be the tastiest 3.8% ale around.

Rather pleasant outdoor bbq-type place in N China last night for dinner. Washed down with "draught beer"

Draught beer in China is served up in 2 litre plastic jugs, you get a glass and you're away. Only rule is you've got to drink your own jug so everyone can see if you're keeping up. No idea what brewery, may be Harbin as that is a couple of hours drive away. It's only about 3.6% so 2 litres is a pleasure rather than a challenge The jolly proprietor gave me a "Harbin Beer" branded glass at the end of the night as I was the first westerner he had ever had ever served

I shall be making my annual pilgrimage to Bonfest this weekend for beer and Bon Scott-inspired rock'n'roll

And it looks as if a bloke who may be Scotland's smallest microbrewery, who makes beer in his garden shed in Bon Scott Place, Kirriemuir http://kirrie-ales.co.nf/ will be there selling his (Big Rosie) Lager, (Fruity Wee) Blonde and (Bon's) Best:

I may partake of a glass or six.

Jeez! I've just opened a bottle of Steinhauser German beer from Aldi,i thought the dog had sh!t itself, the stench of rotten eggs was overwhelming! I've noticed the bottle is slightly cloudy,it's definitely off!

Bought one of these yesterday. It's Mikkellers version of Orval. Bloody thing split the bag as I cycled home and smashed. Arsepipes!

Bringing out the big guns now.

This one is considered by ratebeer as the best beer in the world and, yes, it comes from a can. If that isn't bad enough, the brewery advises that you drink it direct from the can, although I wasn't able to bring myself to do that.

It's bloody good: definitely in my top 2 DIPAs. Hugely aromatic, not absurdly bitter and a touch oily.
