Beer?

Ooooh look, I found a limited edition Tap X Schneider Weisse in the local offie.

A lovely malty, chocolate porter.

I keep choosing things from the bottled beer menu that are out of stock,

You should have told them that they are daffodils. It's farking shocking that they don't have a beer on the menu. Nobbers.

That cheese looks 'the business'. However, the presence of crumb action indicates the bottle illustrated may not have been the first. The anti-cappage movement is gathering strength too - if the last three bottle pics are anything to go by.

Too much exciting cycling today. Have a beer everyone - it'll go down like a Pinot...

I'd rather think chucking it down my neck is a better way of "saving" beer.

Itchen Valley Hampshire Rose, superb bitter; Target, Hercules, Nugget and Galena hops with Maris Otter. Lovely hop bitter finish. Their strap-line is 'Itchen for a pint' geddit, eh geddit?

Time for a quick one at Sourced while I wait for my train...

Lemon & thyme saison from Partizan. Proper full-on beer ponce beer. You can really taste the thyme. Not entirely sure if this is a good thing, but it's quite drinkable. The lemon comes in as a fruity aftertaste. Refreshing. Only 3.8%, which seems a bit low strength, and it lacks the farmyardy quality you'd expect of a saison.

Duvel and Firestone Walker announce partnership!! Assume it's basically a take-over, but Duvel does have a good rep for Not mucking about too much with its acquisitions.

Hoping it means we might get some Firestone Walker here in the lowlands. I guess you lot are awash with the stuff already.

Last Saturday we walked up a mule track to the Chateau de Chaux, somewhere above a valley in the Ardeche. It's unoccupied and semi ruined but in a beautiful position on a col. Fortunately, there is a small farm shop next to it that sells goats cheese and goats' milk ice cream. It also sells some local brews. Here's the bottle that I carried away to our fridge down in the valley....a Bierre Paysanne Blanc in a healthy 750ml wine bottle. ( I apologise but you may need to lie down to view the picture. )
