Well, I have been drinking words. It seems that this knowledgeable thread has given rise to yet another enterprise. (Well, you'd all like to think that wouldn't you? 
)
Get into Det this Christmas eh?
Hasta el fondo!

Hasta el fondo!Just as well I was on low percentage beer last night - 5.15 alarm for the shop turkey delivery. Apologies to Fnaar, but I've already my fingers up 300 birds' bums this morning.
Mind you, only a fool would have had a whisky night cap when he got in from the boozer.

A trip out yesterday, to the Sandbar in Manchester.
I tried;
Outstanding Beers' IPA (5.5% abv)
Very hoppy, very bitter - I enjoyed it, but I like a bit more malt, or some citrus/floral flavours among the bitterness.
Hand Drawn Monkey Brewery - What Would Jephers Do? (4.5% abv)
More to my taste than the first - hoppy, but with more going on than just the bitterness (although I'd say that's the main taste)
Phoenix Brewery - Arizona Gold (4.1% abv)
I think this suffered from being up against the preceding two hop monsters. Easy drinking, but no strong tastes to pick up on really.
I also had a taster of a Fennel flavoured beer from Dunham Brewery (Spice 5.0% abv) - interesting, but I think the fennel flavour would be a bit much over a whole pint. Lots of other folk were drinking their Ruby Sunset ale, and commented favourably on it - I didn't get chance to try any.

I just went for a look at their website, and now have £40 or so less in my bank account...

Brewdog did a 'tap takeover' of one of my locals, The Red House, last weekend - first time in Ontario. Things sold out quickly but I managed to try the Cocoa Psycho imperial stout and the Libertine black IPA. The former was nice but not quite among the best imperials I've had, but the latter I really liked even though it wasn't very IPA-like. More like a more hopped than usual porter. Anyway, I'm off to try the new seasonal beer from Stone City Ales today - an 8% Imperial Whit with Spruce and Cranberry. If it's anything like the other specials they have done so far, it will be superb.

Curry house in Edinburgh, take your own booze, fortunately the nearby Tossco Express had Orkney Ales and Harvistoun in stock.
Did I mention that when I ordered my Belgian selection I had only gone on the site to order some Belgian glasses. I can't really believe I'm so gullible but it seems more fun drinking out of them. I'm not bothered if they're the right glass for the beer so tonight I'm glugging a Kernel Pale in a Tripel Karmeliet.
This Kernel is bloody lovely - mosaic and nelson hops.

I have no idea where Kings Lynn is so decided that it best to leave it for someone else to buy and collect.
