Beer?

[ufkacbln]

Found this last night .... ver nice, Beer with a Pusser's Rum finish!

A heartwarming salute to 100 years of Naval Aviation, this unqiue blend of Wadworth ale and Pusser's Rum certainly hits the spot. Brewed with the original Admiralty Rum, Swordfish is dedicated to the unswerving courage of the Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers of WW2. Expect a smooth, 5.0% rich bodied beer with gentle sweetness and a mild rum aroma.

Pusser's Rum brings back memories!

It is a corruption of the word "Purser" who looked after stores on a ship
Was awarded at special occasions as a tot... "Splice the Mainbrace" We would all have to smartly march up to the Master at Arms, recite name rank and number. Your measure was then served from a large oak and brass vat......

As one wise man said:

“The only way to drink a tot is to swallow it whole, grimace, and sit down to appreciate the glow which spreads from the stomach and engenders that wonderful feeling of peace and bohomie”

Greetings from La Chausée, near Gourgé in deepest darkest quietest France Profonde.

Apparently the Loire valley doesn't only produce wine. From the Carrefour in Saumur, eerily quiet in the middle of the afternoon on the Feast of the Assumption.

It's a rather delicious fruity and malty light biological wheat beer. Perhaps an overtone of manure, but not an unpleasant one.

No greetings from me in downtown Menthon-St-Bernard...stay well clear...I just 'undressed the monk' aka opened a bottle of blessed Dr J. Collis Browne's medicine. Wow!
Beautiful, rich plummy glow to the liquid - like David Cameron's cheeks, but with something worthwhile to savour - not too big a head (ah - another immediate difference...) and I didn't have the heart to put it in a beer glass and slug it, as normal.
Without the sun illuminating the glass, the colour is more of a deep caramel.
The taste is thick, intense and sweet. Not 'gassy' - just that malty, soothing flavour. Like all meds. best keep to the recommended dose, which would probably be "repeat once every four hours...do not exceed etc" (although I could have enjoyed three by now, and strapped myself in for the night!)
Good grog.

Inedit Damn 700ml. In truth, disappointing. It's sort of a lager-weissbier crossover with some gentle citrus notes. But it's not sufficiently different from the cheap run of the mill lagers here to justify the price difference

Would Cilla have liked it? I doubt that. More of a Jimmy Tarbuck sorta thing I think

Pint of Chesil 'cask pilsener' at the Bree Louise on my way through town...

Also good for pie

Worktop's slick.

I initially thought that was a comment on the fine Derbyshire town of Worksop. Never having visited I can't comment on its slickness

Ain't no worktop. That's our "external dining area"

Staying in Nashville for the next 3 days, the hotel has half a dozen local beers on tap, tonight's selection are Mayday Brewery Evil Octopus, a BIPA and Turtle Anarchy Brewering Co Another Way to Rye. Both very nice clean beers, typical American small brewery styles, that's not a bad thing, they're both good beer. No pics, soz...

Unless that's your Millliband kitchen I can see the brewery in front of the cooker arrangement is going to be very popular dans chez Post.

A mate from back home came over for a long weekend so it was beer and football/rugby.

Drank this delightful beer (on draught) most of the time:

It's fruity, hoppy, nicely cooled and very refreshing.
