Beer?

I've stopped off for a pint of Otley on the way home. O1. It's nice enough but more ordinary than I remember. Is it me, or could they be losing their edge?

I didn't think much of one of theirs a while back... nasty

Thought I might have one lurking at the back of the cellar. Hook Norton Mild, pours a lovely chestnut colour, decent head fades away quite quickly, reasonable aroma considering it's mild, the taste is a lovely roasted malty flavour, the label suggest hops but it's not very hoppy at all but it doesn't need to be. All in all it's a very good beer, the sort of thing you could merrily chug away at all day, if you weren't working or were public sector.

You were in Munich airport and didn't report back on the Airbrau Weissbier and ungefiltiert Helles? Pah!

Just heading home after some of that work stuff and I spotted a sign for a brewery shop, well it would be rude not to...

They had a load of that continental beer too, so...

Founders is great - the Kentucky Breakfast Sout especially!

It seems to be quite easily available now in the UK. - blimmin hard to get here though unfortunately.

Two new beers from my local favourite, both around 4.5% for summer, and both lovely in different ways - the wheat saison almost like what you always imagine a lemonade shandy should be, but it never is, and the session ale (named after a local meighbourhood music festival), still citrusy but with a bit more malty body to it.

They had "Chocolate Rain" from the same brewery, but 90 euros a bottle is a bit steep on a Tuesday. More of a cheeky Wednesday swifticle!

From experience, I tend to trust The Bruery on most things, however weird they sound...

Can you get it? It's not that easy to find here.

This was the first thing I tried from them and I was even more impressed than I'd expected to be. Still though - 90 euros on a bottle of beer seems a bit absurd (even by my poncey standards!).

Strangely enough I drank more stuff from them in Japan than I have done anywhere else - there was an amazing bar that specialized in hard-to-find American craft beers and rare Bourbons - as well as exceptionally well-thought out bar food to go with it. Prices were astronomical, but you get used to that in Tokyo!

Not sure if it's allowed on this thread however I recently found a very nice cider mix drink. Introduced to me by a friend and I'm totally hooked. As the warm weather is coming good over ice
