Beer?

[User169]

oooh nice - I've not done to much research on it in case we don't go (Mrs Ceepeebee is very much new to the bike so I don't know how she'll be for another 30 miles or so on Saturday). What's the bike parking like round there? Would really like it if we could just sit outside with Bikes if the weather's fit.


Talking of Buxton - Had 2 of theirs lately that knocked my socks off - Ring your Mother and Dragon tips - both a bit diffrent but bloody tasty.

I was thinking of Thornbridge!

There's loads of space around Kaapse, but don't think there's anything specific for bikes. If the weather's good, you'll be able to sit next to them outside.

ah Thornbridge!

good news on the seating availability though - but the weather's looking a bit meh

Simcoe Hopfen Weisse from Oldskool - Dutch brewer from Eindhoven. Apparently good friends with Schneider and use their yeast. Tastes like a Schneider brew, but with that slight cat-piss Simcoe flavour.

Check out the Schneider glass!

Ha ha - 'cat's piss'. Leaves one feline ok. I'm an expert.

Copper Hop (Long Man Brewery, 4.2% abv)
Mrs M's choice, this. Very very nice.

This and their other ales are on draught in my local. The Long Blonde and their best bitter, the APA and the Session are particulary good glugs.
The pub is called The Long Man, and although the brewery is nearby, it has no connection.

So Meantime are sold to SABMiller! It's been happening in the US - most recently Elysian acquired by AB-InBev - but this is the first one I can remember in the UK...

Biere du Demon. 12% and "the world's strongest beer". As a nightcap quite quaffable, although internet reviews suggest my palate might not have been in a good state.

Leffe and draught cidre at the Irish bar in Bayeux. They refused to sell me a half of Guinness - it only comes in (metric) pints.

Also on the menu - the attractively bland triple Queue de Charreau, and something I'm told is called hooser. Delish, with a lemony sourness. The Calva chaser worked well with it...

What's a "hooser"?!

Gueze. I'm told that you informed TC that it wasn't pronounced girz.
