Beer?

[John the Monkey]

Not seen that one, and one of my locals does a lot of Oakham Ales. They must be Herbie Hancock fans...

It's lovely - quite how they get so much flavour out of a sub-4% brew, I dunno.

Also, Etixx-Quickstep COLLABO news noooooow.

You could wash this down with it - I had one last week and it's not bad at all.
The magnesium was a delight!

I'm off on a jolly to Dorset tomorrow and, amongst some others, I picked up these Asda/Marstons EPA at a £1 a pop.
If it's no good, my less discerning companions won't be bothered.
3.6% so at the very least it can be an early evening session starter.

Had lunch out with a colleague today and decided to have the arvo off so I could have an ale. I've therefore been able to get cracking a fair bit earlier than usual.

I had a bottle a while back. It was perfectly OK as I recall. Here's my photo....not as nice as yours though as mine doesn't have what seems to be a rather blurry, dusky pink balloon in it

It's been a while, but BG Sips and Ape Ale are both good from them, as I recall.

Stopped at a service station on the M6 that had a farm shop, yes a farm shop. Anyway they had a ton of funky looking beer so I picked half a doz I hadn't tried before. Will report on the Yumtusometer ratings slaters. Shlurp.

Was that Tebay? They do excellent pies too!

Tebay - shite coffee.

 

[Crackle]

And they run the Rheged centre. That serves shite coffee too. I'm sensing a theme.

It was, it was like why aren't all service stations like this rather than shïtty malls full of Starbucks and Krispy Kreme heart disease.

Hopportunity Knocks - decent enough IPA from Oregon.
