Beer?

[Crackle]

That Kernel was lovely. Even Jamie Cullum on the One Show didn't phase it.

Now I used to work for a company whose MD was Jamie's father. It was widely rumoured that he wore a syrup and one day he did descend on our office as we executed an office move. I was unfortunately collared by him and his sycophants mid stride as he waxed lyrical about the business growing. Meanwhile a colleague sloped up behind them all and gestured to me via mime, that he was wearing a syrup. I've always assumed that he took my lopsided grimacing gawp as a sign of the long hours I'd been putting in.

They also had another Kernel in, which the bloke in the shop was quite scathing about, being as it was only 3%. Dunno what's going on there, were his words.

The Kernel Table @ 3.8%!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Described by me in this thread as the tastiest beer at that percentage by a country mile. The 'bloke' (scouser?) is a twat

Calm down dear, I can't be expected to keep up with the whole thread when I'm not drinking. I shall tell him and get some.

Probably their Table Beer which in fairness is pretty decent.

Tonight's selection brought to you by a quick deviation on the dog walk

Not had the Kernel, so that's probably first on the list as I cook up tonight's dish of pork in cider.

I picked up an Oatmeal Stout and a Kernel Export India Porter this week. Thornbridge are lovely beers but we're definitely boycotting them, drink it quick and we'll say no more about it.

Going to work from left to right: Orval, Conq 1075 BIPA & Kernel Export Stout.

Reasonable head on it, this glass is like a goldfish bowl!

I wouldn't assume it were I live. There's only a few of us scousers to keep the place honest.

[QUOTE 3323208, member: 259"]I know I wasn't going to have any more Belgian beer this week, but as I finished all the Guinness and Mourne Oyster Stout last night, I'm reduced to Sint Bernadus Abt. Despite the dodgy label I really like this and you'd never believe it was 10% when you drink it. And yes, that is a Leffe glass.

Fantastic beer and the original recipe for Westvleteren12.

You do need to sort out the glass though!

It's that time of the year: pumpkin ales. This one is restrained to the point of pointlessness.

I've boycotted since I drank the last of the supplies.
On the wagon tonight as I'm doing one of them silly fnrttc's

There is a beer option.

Turner's Ruby Mild, Abbott, someone's Harvest Ale (pronounced bland by both drinkers) and Devil's Backbone American IPA, lapped up by three drinkers and described by the sensible as undrinkable - like chewing on handfuls of ripe hops. Oh, and Guinness, and Amstel for lagerboy.

I actually had a half a bottle of Cotes du Rhone under my usual rule of wine being medicinal rather than alcoholic.
I'm pretty sure @theclaud taught me that.

I love St Bernie beer. My nearest wine shop has started stocking it along with a great selection of other beerstuffs, good ol' boys.

[QUOTE 3323316, member: 259"]I'm pretty near Westvleteren in a couple of week,s so I'm going to give their beer line a try to order a couple of cases of 12. It always seems to be engaged though!

One of the supermarkets here (Colruyt) has an agreement with them and occasionally does gift packs of 6 or 12 bottles, but they always go in a flash.[/QUOTE]

I did look it up once, there's a fairly strict way of buying their stuff isn't there? Worth trying though, I've tasted worse.
