Beer?

[theclaud]

Er, has your Auntie ever been out boozing with you before?

She doesn't really drink beer.

It must be a ladies of a certain age thing. MiL is 79. Every time we go out (and I mean every time) she'll say "Oh that looks far too much for me". Then proceeds to eat the lot and try to eat everyone's dessert

You could get Maud's plate cleaner but you'd need a lathe.

This is going tea thread...

Ah, you're two of a kind then. Going to look a bit strange with two intraveinous attachments. Don't get any Roman numerals stuck in the lines, and TRY to only get 'uncia-pissed'.

My aunt is taking me to the St Peter's Brewery, 'because it exists'. Aren't aunties brilliant?! More on that story later.

See if you can find out why they use funny bottles. They have a nice line in dark beers.

Is that in Suffolk? Nice beer and nice bottles.

The brewery produces cask ales, but are best known for their cold filtered bottled beers. The oval shape of their signatory 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia but a round version is also common.[1]

I've just got a selection of beers in to celebrate. It'll be my first try of the Nognes.
The reason excuse is to wet the head of Gkid #3 this morning.

I heard an interview with the founding dude a few years ago and it kinda put me off them.

He's a marketing bod and I got the impression that the brewery was just a marketing exercise for him - no real passion for beer in itself. As I remember, he was pretty clear that most of the output is intended for export.

Congratulations!

The beer on the far left, the Brick House requiem is an APA style brewed by a one-man bad about a mile from my gaff. Nice to support a local entrepreneur. I'lllet you know if I'll carry on supporting him after the tasting.

Ah I see.

I've only had a couple of their beers from recollection, I didn't rate them,

Congratulations.
