Beer?

Siren and DeMo collab imperial russian stout. Rich dark thick luscious smooth velvety, really good stuff, it's also got cracked black pepper in it which you can really taste. Excellent first rate beer as one would expect, 1 down, 6 to go. Hope they're all as good as this.

dude, I don't boycott them, st petersburg is just too tasty.

A Hobbs' Postman's knock tonight, lots of lovely malt.

I don't mind boycotting Thornbridge. I like Jaipur but I find their beers generally don't live up to their own hype.

Now, can somebody come up with a good excuse to boycott BrewDog as well?

The stupid name is excuse enough.

Not really, don't read anything they say, go to their bars and drink the beer.

because they're a bunch of stunt brewers who wish they were still wacky students? Or because they're prone to just chucking hops at stuff for the sake of it? I've not liked many of their beers that I've tried tbh (I'm sounding terribly stroppy lately sorry - must be work showing through)

as 3bm says though, their bars are generally OK

Yeah, some of their beers are actually quite good, which is possibly the most annoying thing about them. I'd just like a nice clear-cut reason to boycott them (eg they spend their weekends clubbing baby seals to death) so I don't have to worry about whether I like their beer more than I hate their marketing.

Anyway, today's lunchtime tipple is London Fields Love Not War, which they call a "red ale" and I call a "best bitter" (or, at 4.2%, a less strong ESB). Either way, it's a lovely drop. Full bodied. Very well balanced malt and hops. If I weren't running a marathon tomorrow, I'd have another...

Another one!!! So soon?
Great way to get thirsty though, if you needed a reason to glug, that is!

It's the lunch hour, not the lunch three hours, alas.
