Only cos we had friends over for lunch and I needed to get beer in + I had to buy a slab of Old for the plumber. Anyway I'm not having any more.

Hook Norton Flagship, a bottle conditioned, 5.3% IPA style. Lovely hoppy bitter finish, good beer.

Staffordshire Brewery - Staffordshire Gold Beer (3.8% abv)

This has the problem a lot of golds do, seeming slightly thin. However, while the taste doesn't linger, it is very nice. A fresh, herby first taste, that warms slightly into the finish, with a floral note throughout. Not overly bitter, not overly sweet. Middling, but nicely done middling, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Mrs M says;
"I love that one."

Maybe nice on an early summer's evening, sitting hand in hand with Mrs M on the patio, whispering beer notes in her lughole, while the sun sinks slowly over the yardarm?

I met a guy today in Bradford, he was from Belgium, he provided tickets for the game v Reading today. I was to meet him and pay for the tickets and to recognise him by his grey/red Duvel cap. I could smell his beer before I found him, it wasn't Duvel but another Belgian beer, 11% he said.

I'm a few months late or early, but this is pleasing my palate this evening:

Have I bought a new camera? Too much beer...

Cheeky farkers, the lot of you. I'll have you know that I have been as near to teetotal as makes no difference for most of Jan and all of Feb. More of a glitch than a plan - I've been slowly attempting to work my way back to normality for a week or two. For anyone thinking of cutting down on beer by choice, I must caution that it doesn't make you feel any better - that stuff is all lies. Tonight I took pictures of beer I didn't drink! I don't have the strength to post them - may do so in the morning.

Harvey Leonard is a nice wine and beer shop in Glossop that has got an on-license and they run the shop as a bar in the evening. Idea is you can choose any bottle you fancy and they charge 80p/bottle "corkage".

Never had Earl Grey before and it was lovely....so I had a couple of bottles.

I can't remember what my mate drank. You can just see the bottle side on. One of those Belgian trappist beers. CC aficionados can hopefully advise

Tried that one at Christmas: really spicy with lots of clove. The best of the Christmas beers that I've had.

Had the first version of the Earl Grey when they made it together with Emelisse. Lovely stuff - Earl Grey goes really well in IPA. Emelisse's solo version wasn't that great unfortunately - a bit soapy.

The Belgian is St Bernie 12. A top beer and the original recipe for Westvleteren 12.

Ah, that must be the beer the shop owner was talking to my mate about. He has tried to get some Westvleteren 12 but can't. He said that St Bernie 12 shares the yeast with this. the talk got a bit beer poncy ant that point so I left them to it

And so to Durham.
The Library (used to be Varsity) - Baltic Gold.

The Shakespeare - Thwaites Wainwright
Market Tavern - Maxim Swedish Blonde

Swan and Three Cygnets - Sam Smiths Bitter
Dun Cow - Copper Dragon Golden Pippin
Court Inn - Oakham Inferno
Head of Steam - A-hop-alypse Now (is that the worst beer pun ever?)

Then to Pelaw dogs where I had several pints of Rivet Catcher and got the reverse forecast up for race 7 (traps 4 & 5) to win £36 for a two quid stake.
Cracking day on the drink and because it was all quality stuff I don't have a minging hangover.
