2% increase in 10 years, don't think that's going to send brewers into meltdown just yet. On a happier note, or hoppier note, Duvel is only £1.75ea in Saino's at the mo, have stocked up.

There was some other shite about drink making you poorly or summat but I'd given up paying attention by that point.

Middle-class weekend at centre parcs, packed a couple of essentials to keep body and soul together.

North Wales Brewery "Icicle" (3.8% abv, bottle conditioned)
Interesting one this - given the name, I assume it's a seasonal, and I tend to expect winter beers to be rich and heavy. In contrast, this is quite a pale, fresh sort of a beer. North Wales Brewery don't carbonate their beers, but this has a decent amount of effervescence thanks, I assume, to the yeast. Tastewise, it starts off malty, I think, before the fresh, grassy hops (a hint of citrus somewhere at the back of that too) take over the taste, and fade into a more bitter finish. It's hard to describe the pre-hop taste - it's not smoky (although I've seen that in other descriptions) but it is warmer than the hops.
I quite like it, although I think its charms are rather subtle, and sadly the abv might prompt a less considered approach to drinking it.
Mrs M isn't keen on North Wales Brewery after a dodgy pint of Bodelwyddan Bitter, but she said "Not one of my favourites, but it was ok." And then she drank a Punk IPA instead.

Witgoud (white gold) from Hof ten Dormaal - a Belgian farmhouse ale made with witloof (chicory). Not bad - classic Belgian yeast flavour, a hint of sourness and an earthy bitter finish. These guys brewery burned down last year - i think they have a crowdfunding thing running to raise cash for rebuilding.

Any beer is potentially a session beer
,though ISTR it normally means under 5% and with a good balance of qualities.
