Beer?

[nickyboy]

Meetings in London today and Mrs N accompanied me on the train and did a bit of shopping. I'm a bit in the doghouse now....

Lunch, All Bar One, Fleet Place. 1 x Pint Samuel Adams (the only non-lager type beer available)
Meeting with a PR guy, Smith & Wollensky. 1 x Pint Whitstable Ale
Meeting with Finance guy, some sports bar or other Leicester Square. 2 x Pint Samuel Adams (also only non-lager available)

She wasn't impressed when we met up after that lot

XL bottles of Duvet (told you it was warm...'Duvel') for €3:14 today. Too cooked, so, nothing for it but a flying monk, eh? Bummer, because the cap slipped and descended into the neighbour's garden.

So near, yet so far...the Harp was calling you...not quite so loudly as The Olde Coffee House, but...have the gasses subsided yet, NB?

Some kind of Celtic thing going with the label.

"One of the world's most unique". Tut tut tut. Don't these Jap chaps know proper English?

A proper Englishman would have wrote "One of the world's most uniquest"

As any fule kno.

Ah, Harpe Noire!

Just looked at the label again - it's made with blé noir = buckwheat. Not sure why you would use it - buckwheat's high in caprylic acid, so I guess you might get ethyl caprylate formed in fermentation. The "capr-" is presumably a clue as to how that might taste.

There's DP, trying to keep a professional tone to this thread, and Rich comes along...then Claudine...Rich never missing a chance to Caesar. (Can't publish the photos from here...it's ok.)

I was freeloading (following 3BM's lead it seems) so would have been churlish to not let my inviters choose the location. Anyway, watching England pile on Australia's agony while drinking Sam Adams isn't too bad a situation to find oneself in

Mr M is back from Greece, and bought a "Magnus" lager with her.

Tasty stuff. From the fridge, it has a nice, pilsener-y taste, and is very refreshing, the sort of thing I can imagine going very well with 32°c evenings.

Mrs M says "Very nice."

DP says things like 'banana esters' and I say 'gluggable'.
I feel like JTM's missus, if you'll excuse the unintended (no, really) double entendre.
