Beer?

[User169]

Bought this to take to a tasting last night, but decided it would be a bit rude given it was 4th July and the tasting was hosted by Merkans. So drank it today. It's a SMaSH brew, but they don't give details - nice and sweet though!

I looked it up on ratebeer and all the reviews are from Europe or the US. Is there a reason for that? Export only?

Went into Manchester last night. A couple of plastic cocktail bars full of plastic people. At least one of them had Samuel Adams on draught which was pretty good on a warm evening. Mrs N had some concoction with meringue on the top that required the attention of a large blow-torch before it was ready for her.

Whilst heading back to the station we came across some dance music festival tepee thingy in Albert Square so we popped inside. It was rocking and I had a few pints of Steamship Ale from the Titianic Brewery in Florida. It was deliciously malty with decent bitterness

Long and short is we missed the last train and finally got home by taxi at 3am. So this evening's beverage is a nice cup of tea as I'm feeling decidedly delicate

Not sure. It's a collaboration with Evil Twin who are notionally from New York, but the bottle says it was brewed in Derbyshire. Wouldn't have thought they'd export the whole lot?

Went to Rotterdam today to watch the tour. Managed to sneak off to a good bar between the caravan passing through and the riders turning up. Amazed to see they had Modus Operandi from Wild Beer Co on tap. It's just delicious - the Brett gives it such great complexity. Wild Beer Co and Burning are my current fave English brewers.

Hot day shed building, this is just the job.

She'd finished what?

She'd finished what?

Funnily enough, hilariously in actual fact, my ipad autocorrected to she'd from shed but I changed it back.

Just had a HN Red Rye, fab. Watching Slaying the Badger due to a TV schedule cock up.

Well this can only be described as a kitchen sink beer - as its seemingly the only ingredient they didn't use.

Someone on untapped describes it as scrumpy with salt which ain't far off. I think I've found my extremeophile boundary.

I'm having a Sainos, Taste the Difference, Kentish Ale. Not bad at all, malty, and fruity.
It wasn't pricey neither

No-Li Brewery's Spin Cycle. A hoppy refreshing red beer. Drunk in Newhalem.

Nice picture, Vernon! Two CC old-timers in the background: 'Chuffy' and 'Baggy' ...or loose fitting maybe.
Strangely, I watched telly yesterday and had this to hand... ...which I can't seem to post a picture of...grrr! Ah - take that back.

For some people, no doubt, but not for us super-athletes, eh Rich?

One-day long-distance running? And you drink beer? Are you insane?

"Vernon..?"
