Howdy y'all from The Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis TN. Nice selection of beers on the menu, only tried a couple so far, the New Belgian was excellent and the Ghost River a decent red ale.

Went out for a lunchtime refresher with some colleagues yesterday. They chose the venue, a Greene King pub. I kicked off with a very pleasant pint of American Pale Ale. Unfortunately, by the time it came to the second pint the APA was off, so it was back to bog standard GK IPA... and it was terrible. I've not had that stuff for a while. When it's well kept, it's drinkable at least, but this was far from peak condition. Very disappointing.
Next time we go for lunchtime drinks, I'm choosing the pub. I'd rather drink on my own than go back to that place.

Nice to read that tenfoursmcginty has survived a few shopping mall massacres so far. Can you buy packets of smokey bandit crisps with beers over there, Ed?
Meanwhile, when it is blisteringly hot
what better way to cool down than a nice refreshing blonde...
beer.
'la Goudale' is described as a 'Bière Blonde à l'Ancienne' - which, roughly translated means it would be ok for Rich...oh, and me I guess..
Anyway, this is jolly nice beer. Not too sickly a scent - more supermarket farmyard - with a lovely clear taste, almost scented, yet lively enough to let your tongue know that it is a beer to savour.
I just looked at the back of the bottle (sure sign that it is empty and I'm wondering if I dare go for the Rochefort F.C. 11.3%?) Incidentally, not many people know this but, in the 12th century, when ring pull cans were invented in France and Belgium, monks attending church used to have a drink afterwards, and ended up très pissed. Natural progression of the language led to the term 'Trappist', and subsequently to the delicacies we all know and love.
And, in the further interests of fellow imbibers and pie aficionados, I'll let Vernon know that piecraft is lacking in other parts too. As evidence, 'brioche saucisson'. Two appetising words for a pie...with parking space inside for two bicycles!

Sorry, I let my imagination run riot there...As I was saying, I looked at the back of the bottle and the ingredients listed include rice, coriander and orange peel. It all added up to (note the past tense) a decent ale.

It's the 'annual river walk with a bunch of middle-aged friendless daffodils' this afternoon.
Six packs at the ready. I'll be on the Hansa, the others Carlsberg and Tuborg no doubt. Gawdhelpus..

Greetings from Estepona, Costa del Sol. Home of the late Cilla.
Went to the local Carrefour and was faced with a rather bewildering array. From your basic Cruzcampo through to Duvel. I bought a couple of bottles on the basis that they looked "interesting". No idea if they are good or bad. Here's the first one;
Alhambra reserve 1925. Now in truth this is a lager. But not your run of the mill. 6.4% with delicious malty bitterness. Not over carbonated at all. I was suckered in by the marketing of the embossed bottle and cork stopper but it was actually pretty good. About £3 for a 700ml bottle, think I'll pop back for some more

Nice Hoselock array you've got going on there. What's the strange looking thing on the window sill?
Beer looks a bit flat
I see what you mean, the beer looks flat but actually isn't...
The object on the window sill (eagle eyed of you!) is an old front reflector that was sacrificed to so I could mount a Garmin on the bars

Ale from P&L has no place in this thread...
You would expect Nickyboy to spot a 'José' given his location at present.

Had a bottle of their IPA last week. My brother and I agreed it was the beer of the holiday.
I repeat...
... My brother and I AGREED!
