Beer?

[srw]

Good work. I've accidentally managed to arrange a work trip to Munich for the first few days of Oct.

Good luck finding a hotel room at anything other than a ridiculous price (I remember paying €300 for something about 3 miles out of the centre). And even better luck finding a ticket - especially for the last couple of days of the festival...

Booked months ago, and the flights, forward thinking company see.

I hope that glass isn't the receptacle for the beer, rich, unforgivable...

BTW, Ed, you can see in the picture the laminated birch ply I asked you about!

Nice, did you cut that yourself?

Edit: Brief plywood break, beer will resume shortly.

No! Too risky at that price

Dublin Guiness Porter. I know, Guiness, 3bm will be turning in his grave. Not bad though, 1.50 a bottle, for an English pint.

Haven't had a Duvel for ages. Tough day battling the HSE, this is well deserved!

The big brewers are getting increasingly rattled by the craft brew scene!

A 3.8% porter isn't going to win back many of the hipster craft beer drinking types.

Might try some. I don't drink much stout (and I was partial to Guiness) but the ones I have tried are so much more complex & rich than Guiness, it's hard to imagine going back to it.

No it's not, the West Indies Porter is 6%, again, 1.50, might try that next time. I don't always want a big hit though.

Quite. They should just back their foreign extra stout which is a very decent brew (and a proper 7.5%).

The other day I was seduced by a Saino's offer of a craft lager...

...tastes like lager. I have another one to glug quickly when we have a warm day.
