Beer?

[rich p]

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.

That's disappointing. I'd assumed it was handcrafted by tonsured monks - it was one of the first 'different' beers I tried way back 25+ years ago. Sainsburys started selling it IIRC and I could only afford one a week.
As an aside, @Dayvo and I got bladdered on it from the cask in the Jerusalem Tavern, a couple of years ago. You may know the pub, DP?

And why is the father wearing a bike helmet?

Safety first. That's a lot of beer they're celebrating with, after all.

Don't know them, some of their stuff looks pretty good.

We'll have to do it again before too long: see if we can find some other down and outs to join us.

Of course, remember, @rich p , you can't give a baby booze.

Except for Babycham.

Just like daddy, who is probably called Cletus or Bubba...

Been there a couple of times, although Holborn/Chancery Lane was more my boozing territory (and I was more of a lager drinker when I lived in that London!).

OK back on track, first of the Froggies, Gallia IPA, pours with a mighty crackle-head, bit gassy but a nice hoppy falve for its 4.7%. Cool graphic on the label but marmers beware of the top!

Cider, when made well, is a fine drink.

But 'teef has it right - "Strawberry and Lime cider by Rekorderlig" isn't cider, it's

Cider

- fizzy apple juice with extra sugar, flavourings and a bit of a kick. It's an alcopop.

Cool graphic on the label...

Indeed! I'm sure Fnaar would be thrilled to see a Coq Hardi there
