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.

Good lord! From a can???
I'm anti-can for beer but I'm not sure if that's just snobbery? Is the taste affected?
I'm due to try this Scottish Grozet - aged in citrus fruits, hmmm. Feedback later but I don't expect to like it!

I think it's a bit like corks vs screw caps with wine: no real reason to prefer one over the other taste wise these days.

I still cant quite believe though that I dropped 14 of your english squids on a can!

Enjoy Smutch!
I'm off to the Brighton Beer Dispensary - a cornucopia of craft beer delight and it's London Beer week apparently.

Some nice looking beer! I've heard good things about Weird Beard. It was started up by Robert Plant's son, I think.

Started on the Brodie's Citra, a heavily (single-)hopped golden ale. Very lemony-grapefruity, light and refreshing. And a surprisingly modest 3.1%. Good for a few pints but then the novelty wore off - it's rather one-dimensional, tbh - so I moved on to the Old Street Pale Ale, which is a bit more rounded in character though not different enough to the Citra for me to want another pint of that one, so I moved on to the Bethnal Green Bitter... Mmmmmm! Now that's more like it. Imagine a classic English Best Bitter, but one with the hops ramped up to 11. Really very bitter indeed. In a good way. *Like*

Popped into my local last night for the first time in a long while. What is it with pubs taking the sprinklers off the pulls all of a sudden, seems to be a bit of a trend round these parts of late. I like a pint with a nice head not something that resembles a few bubbles in a washing up bowl. It really takes the 'body' out of the pint if you know what I mean... is it something to do with time? lazy bar staff not wanting to wait for it to settle before topping up, something to so with wastage? i dunno it just isn't the same...

Sounds like a good trend to me!
