Beer?

[theclaud]

Ha! Right scenario, wrong dog. It was a handsome GSP that was almost my undoing. He was either called Bo or Bailey. He didn't get the beer.

2/10. The Anais Nin and the Rapha band mark you out as trying too hard to import East London cool to the Mwmbls. And as for carrying a glass with a stem to the park...

The Rapha is for DP (courtesy of @MacB) and other poncey accoutrements are for 3BM, natch. Cap included for @Marmion. It's hardly 'to the park', dahling - dusting off the picnic ware to walk a hundred yards would be so Amersham.

Anyway - back on topic. I left last night's selection to Mrs W, to give her an excuse to get an icecream after our sunny walk (Guildford picnic - portable barbecue, beer, bubbly, wine. Out of glasses with stems.)

The instruction was "one cold, one not" - although the shop I sent her to keeps all its (mediocre) selection of beer in a fridge. The cold was Peroni - at the more favourable (i.e. less over-bitter) end of generic Europiss. The not was Hobgoblin Gold. Very toilet cleaner floral hops on the nose, but, to start with at least, muted hops in the drinking - nicely balanced. That was probably because it started out at cellar temperature. The second glass was more overtly hoppy, and less attractive for it.

"Dishwater" as Mrs W (on this occasion) didn't say.

Karg Weissbier, nice morning sharpener, hopefully ease the pain of another a day of dullards.

I was watching the news last night....."We hope that the UK decides to remain within the EU, blah blah blah.........we hope that UK will continue to invest 2% of GDP in defence spending , blah blah blah"

The Goose Island is ok. The label promised a "long hop finish", it didn't deliver.

Not unpleasant, but just ok.

I tried it yesterday. Thought it was OK: nothing too special, but you can just about taste the cascade hops.

The brewery was taken over by AB-Inbev a while ago and a lot of production transferred to AB-Inbev facilities, so not sure if the recipe has now been toned down a bit.

I had a Jaipur yesterday as it was the 10th anniversary of it first having been brewed.

Picture from 1st brew day on 7 June 2005. So, starter for 10: who is the chap on the left?

So the neighbours are complaining about the trucks that pitch up at 6am every day to transport your beer from the brewery to the bottling plant.

Simple solution, build a 3km pipeline between the two..

Looks like an oik, is it a Brewdog oik?

I had a pint of Otley Hop Angeles last night, and it was good. I am waiting on the Columbo before I pronounce them back on form...

Arundel brewery Black Stallion, before I head to the land of the Rheinheitsgebot. Sweet, lots of chocolate malty flavour. Perhaps could have done with a touch more hop.

Some great beer on this thread, just been having a delve back.

I've just read a few pages from p93 after your 'like' sent me back in time.
Interesting how the input has changed; the beeriness is less diluted by food and cider. Nice to see some old posts from NickM, the finest misanthrope. Cheers for that 3BM!

I bought beer in tins! They fit nicely in a rack-top bag. Beavertown Neck Oil. Not the greatest match for my dinner of spicy butter bean stew, but it's growing on me as a digestif...

I'm still resistant to drinking beer out of cans. Does that make me quaint or out of touch...

...it's a rhetorical question
