Beer?

[nickyboy]

Another of my Asda recommendations (sorry to all those who pay £12.20 per bottle for their beer ).

Wychwood King Goblin. Their premium (6.6% ABV) version of Hobgoblin. Available 4 x 500ml for a fiver from Asda.

I can't decide which strong traditional ale I prefer, this or the Shepherd Neame 1698. They are quite different in character. Both rather good. Not massively complex but decent bitterness balanced by the malts.

I was 'left' (no, not Leffe) some beer today, warming gently in my fridge (thank you, Sister). Just got in and, due to the weather and a particularly 'eek' ride over the Staples Corner flyover (cyclist down issue) I opened a wonder horse. Well, a 'Champion'...a 'Golden Champion' to be precise ('precise' is not my fotré). 5% ABV-er which is ok but, more interestingly I read the 'SEE, SMELL, TASTE' blurb on the back of the bottle.
SEE "Light copper" well, that'll be the thread about the puppy. SMELL: "Floral"...that threestamensmcginty gets in everywhere these days. TASTE "Elderflower" Which brings us to Rich P, because he's elder - and he's a daffodill, ergo elderflower. I'll try and post a photograph now, using my new phone. Or should I use my camera?

If it's all about cost you'd be better off with this shite. 4 for a quid, saw it described as slug bait.

Been looking through your 'Gallery' Ed? Nice worktop.(Lucky you got it replaced in time for Crown Prince DP's royal visit.)

You'll have a great time. (Unless he's there, of course.)

Also, ask him to take you to the 'Harp' in Lundun. Only there will you see the finest collection of white £5 notes in the country. But only if 3/d_mcginty gets his wallet out.

Hopcraft Deutsch Projekt. A beer specially brewed to irritate @srw. Hands up anyone who has even heard of Huell Melon hops. I can't make the pic rotate!

I should be appreciative, but in fact I'm just irritated. My phone appears to let me rotate it, but when I upload it, it reverts to the wrong way round. Bah.

In an attempt to assuage my grumpiness, I've moved on to Oakham Tranquility. A pineappley powerhouse of a beer. I'm already more pissed than when I started this short post.

There's a single entendre in there somewhere about fingering a temple of love.

(Is it just me, or would Stonehenge be a bit draughty? As so often, the South-East of England does things much better - look up the Temple of Venus at West Wycombe).

Aaaahhh just the job...

My "not drinking" failed - although I have just thrown a beer down the sink due to its awfulness. And it had proper cappage.
Now have a Tempest IPA - luvverly.
