Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

A pint of barley wine!

Every breakfast should start this way?

Oh, that's on the borefts list isn't it? Looking forward to that one.

Yep! I'm think I'm just going to drink everything from Magic Rock.

Had a few pints of Long Man bitter in my local last night and they had a 2.8% special Harveys brew with some sort of raffle attached. My pal tried it - tasteless which begs the question why the brewer of my favourite draught bitter, bar none,

would bother with this rubbish.

Think I'll stick to sherry with benylin chasers!

I have as one of my daily jobs the privilege of delivering meat to various commercial outlets - one of which is the craft beer pub I've mentioned a few times. There's something nice about being in a real pub before it opens with that not unpleasant whiff of beer and floor polish!

Isn't it a tax thing? Less duty on beer at2.8%. It's difficult though to get enough flavour in at such low ABV.

The poster says it's aiming at a different demographic, I've only just read!
To try to get younger drinkers into ale without shocking them with something that tastes. I had no such problems as a youth with barley wine and bitter, mild and bitter, etc etc

Does it not make it over there much? If bourbon bearded lady is on, it's amazing.

Like the look of that place Rich, they seem to have done it properly. Where is it?

On the doing it properly theme, is there a more dispiriting phrase for proper beer fans than "bar and kitchen"? Unfortunately, they're proliferating rapidly.

Sadly not. Even if we did though, it would likely be pretty pricey. I got stiffed 10eur for a bottle of kernel pale ale last week. I wish the bar dude had warned me!

It's a great little boozer.

That is nuts! Mind you, same as me paying 3.5 euro for a big bottle of st feuillin saison in Belgium as opposed to 8 pounds here

@rich p, if you do win the brewery visit for "you and 7 friends" I think I have counted that there are 7 regular posters on this thread apart from yourself. Just sayin'

Is Tsingtao Cantonese for gnat's píss?
I'm on a Weird Beard Decadence Stout - dark, malty, chocolate (in a nice way).
Liking it.
