Beer?

[User169]

p.s. This is in no way a criticism DP just a nod to your eclectic palate!

Ha ha! As long as it's expensive, I'm all over it!

Yesterday, I experimented with teetotalism. It ended disastrously, with me slashing my fingers to pieces on a broken jar and making the house look like a murder scene. That's quite enough of that. The Celt Dark Age ran out on draught, so I turned to the bottle...

Dark looking saison there!

Devils Rest from Burning Sky today.

From somewhere called Lewes in E Sussex. A bit weird. Fruity, but insanely bitter. Only just got through a half.

Sadler's Red IPA, 5.7%, Yank Amarillo, Cascade and Citra hops, pretty good stuff, clean fresh slightly malty taste with a nice hoppy finish but not too overpowering. Bought the BIPA too, let you know later.

been looking for some of that for a while, I bought the last one in B and M but cant find it anywhere. shame as I really enjoyed that.

I had a couple of Kwaks out of the wooden contraption last week - I'd have felt a right Charlie if others hadn't been doing it unselfconsciously!

last year whilst on a 'city break' in Brugges, my mate @Aaron Mc Connell was given one of those contraptions after our dinner. cant remember if one of the ladies with us nicked or broke it. I'm sure he'll confirm soon.

Pale Simcoe from DeMo. I think @theclaud checked in the Citra version a while ago. This is bloody brilliant - smells of catpiss. - and has a generally winey feel.

been working opp north this week so have been sampling Thwaites Wainwright mostly but happened to call into the local waitrose and came across one of my favourites, UBU from Purity ales so picked up a few of those. a lovely amber ale whilst watching the uci coverage of the cyclo cross race in MK - which was a great day out.

thought I would give my local brewery a shout also, Concrete cow who had a tap in the beer tent at the CXWC last weekend - good effort from a micro brewery - see below.

I'm in Belgium on business. I like to think this was religious

UBU is very nice indeed - my first sampling was pre-beer thread participation, so no flowery description - I did draw the bottle tho.

I've got one in a cupboard somewhere.

I did visit a bar once where you had to deposit your shoes behind the bar if you ordered a qwak to discourage theft.

Went down the boozer last night, 2 pints of mild for me. First time I've been in since it reopened after an extensive refit, it's basically had the soul blitzed out of it and is now a trendy soft furnished bar dec'd with Farrow and Ball type colours. And beer's gone up 50p a pint. Shíte.

Bummer. We've had the exact opposite, after an extensive refit our local is now a good pub, heaving at times what with all the people who don't live in the village turning up and filling the place up.

I was in M&S the other night and bought one of these

There was nothing offensive about it but it was unremarkable. I probably should have gone for one of the single hop ones people mentioned earlier but I fancied a Porter.

This is an outrage!
