That's it, I'm stopping now.
Had a private tour of Gwatkins Cider a couple of weeks back. Most of the ciders and Perrys are made from Vintage (old English for good or great for) variety fruit. Yarlington Mill won best in Britain. 20 litres bag in the box delivered 47 pound. I guess about 1.20 a pint. Most is fermented in oak barrels but struggling to get all they need this year as US owned Whisky makers are not parting with them. fiddle*rs.
There is a Bourbon and a rum barrel among them but a lot had to go in these
I did have a picture of 2 huge fermenting steel barrels ( not proper name) but cannot find them.
Right behind all the barrels in the first picture he is pouring me a cup of Morgan Sweet. Only one small barrel a year is produced. This is not sold as it is rare and they keep it for a cricket match. They hold one every year. They give it to the opposition before the game. It is being fermented in a whisky barrel which judging by the taste was no where near empty. Had to sip it out of a small cup . He has done me two bottles just waiting for daughter to collect and send....Hurry up.
And of course the required tasting of all the ciders on offer before buying a Yarlington mill. Would have had it delivered as only 2 pound cheaper but daughters had bought me a new suitcase so thought I would test it (the suitcase not the cider) on the train journey Abergavenny to Grimsby.
Now that was proper day out.

Bottles and poodles, I'm pretty sure that's a Dr.Seuss book.

Day off today, monky business.
I topped up on 660ml Punk IPA from Sainos again. Seems rude not to.
In the spirit of DP I had a bottle of Flying Dog Pale Ale before leaving 'work'. Quaffable.
Living the dream.
I liked this online review of it...
Mild with a slight hint of hopes
hopes over expectations?

Tried a couple of pints of Mordue Five Bridges in the Centurion this afternoon. If I hadn't had to catch a train I'd be there yet.

Sunday's pub wall...
Had 'em all - for research purposes only.
After the first swig of Dogfish Head...
...this is a useful pint, with a lovely flavour and enough hops to keep Bugs Bunny happy, as well as citrus galore - best drunk with pancakes. (Me, not the beer). Very nice.
Then a dose of Rich...
...very nice. The epitome of rich. Sweet, with a beautiful cream head.
And finished with the London PA...which left me wanting something with a bit more bite. OK, a lot more bite. A passage to India beckons.. Nice glasses though - careful service in a busy pub. Very nice.
Very nice.
Must get a new phone for better pics though - or drink less.
