Beer?

[jongooligan]

Out with Mrs N in Manchester yesterday and she permitted me a pub visit. So we popped into Brewdog. Whilst we played Scrabble (I wanted to play dominos but the double three was strangely missing)

OT but do Manchester doms still have far too many spots? Seem to remember they go up to nine?

Maybe in the old days but seems to be standard six spot these days. I the pubs the game is "fives and threes" - points based on adding up both ends of the domino chain, multiples of five and three scoring

Mrs McG wouldn't like this, too strong, too hoppy.

1st photo with new phone and it's off to a cracking start. Schneider Weisse original - the gold standard Bavarian wheat beer.

Good work DP, although Alexander Graham Bell took less time to get a phone together.

Finished the Punk so I'm onto a fruity Friday night Flying Dog Winter Ale - 7.4%
A beautifully balanced malty ale - bloody lovely

My new favourite shop - The Beer Shop in Nunhead. I will report back tomorrow with what I tried

Yep, it was the old days, around 76, 77. Would have a Sunday dinner time sesh in pubs around Bury New Road then watch Salford get beat by any of the Yorkshire teams in the afternoon. If they weren't at home we'd go to a pub called The Star and then watch Swinton in the afternoon. Seem to remember it was mostly Robinsons we drank.

Happy daze.

Goudenband - Oudenaarde's finest!

A few years ago I remember stopping for Sunday lunch on the market square in Oudenaarde. Two portly old chaps turned up on racers in lycra and proceeded to down a mahoosive bottle of Goudenband. They wobbled off looking very chuffed with themselves.
