On another note, do any of you lot shake the sediment of bottle-conditioned beers at the beginning, near the end in a different glass or discard entirely?

Depends on the beer.

Always swish in the yeast with a German weissbier, never on a pale ale. Mostly on heavy dark ales, but I don't like big chunks.

Always discard entirely if I remember to check for bottle conditioning first.

[QUOTE="rich p, post: 3382110, member: 500"Then we tried a Wild Beer Indigo Child - an assault on the senses - sour to the point of 'is this off?'
I couldn't drink it. Foul.

Just walked into a bar in Amsterdam and wild indigo child is on tap!

It's right up my street. The sourness is wearing off a bit after a few quaffs - quite a sweet finish too.

And Ramones on the jukebox - Hey Ho, let's go! Yes indeedy!

Rodenbach Foederbier: unblended sour ale. Appley, vinegary and a bit woody.

Can these wild yeast beers be 'off' though?
I'm sounding like a Cream Label drinker!

Well kind of by definition they're off.

Having said that, there's definitely been more sour beers launched of late where you get the feeling a sour beer wasn't intended, but where there was an unintended infection problem. RAther than chuck it away as would have happened in the past, it gets rebadged as a sour ale and flogged to suckers like me who lap it up!

After this weekend's selection I realise that I'm not ready for the sourest of beers. I can tolerate the less obvious ones but I'd rather enjoy than tolerate, generally.

I'm with you on the sours, can't get on with them at all. Regarding bottle conditioned, I like my beers clear so I pour carefully, some of them have a lot of sediment, probably too much even for people that don't mind the stuff, The Kernel beers have tons of it.

Last one.

Big Worster - a 18.3% (!!) barley wine aged in bourbon barrels from Mikkeller.

Off to get the train home now. Wish me luck - end of the line is Paris.

@rich p will be so sad to hear that, he obviously thought he was onto a good thing there.

Rich ain't that deluded, he clearly doesn't fit into the big or hunk category.

I'm in Fife tonight, the hotel has Tennents, Stella, Budwieser and some other shíte stuff, I had a lemonade. I'm just out to throw myself into the sea now, it's that kind of place.

Splendid evening in the Stanley Arms with 5 beer drinkers and a random Sauv Blanc renegade
It was open mic which added to the occasion - some of them were shíte but in an endearing shiíe way

The best ale on offer was a pub collaboration with a local brewery in Small Dole, 4.1% of proper bitter session ale. The Old and Porter were pretty tasty too
