This is great. What better way to arrive 'half cut' and then do the other half on the return journey.Yeah, clocked the FS.
Went to the George Jones museum yesterday. Check out this beauty, for those that don't know the story, when a several days binged Possum was denied access a vehicle he used his ride-on lawn mower to get to a liquor store, eight miles and an hour and half later, he made it!
The only mountain I have in view tonight is the shite that has been posted through the letterbox. noshowmcginty is going to have to ramp up his consumption to sate the masses. Luckily for me, my sister put a bottle of Guinness W.I.P. in the fridge the other day, so I returned to a thirst quencher. And it is flippin' well raining.

Some nice looking beers there. I'd give Firestone Walker Wookey Jack and Founders Breakfast Stout a go. Some Dutch beer there as well - Rooie Dop's DIPA, something from DeMo and the 't Ij/Thornbridge collaboration. Shame they've gone out of date.
Not sure I like the sound of a coffee infused IPA - what was it like?
A bit weird TBH, especially as I opened it tired and thirsty after a late shift and had forgotten about the coffee. Bit of a shock. I warmed to the novelty as it went down, and it is as subtle as coffee in an IPA can be, which is not very. It would have stood up without the coffee. The Radical Road afterwards didn't taste terribly radical. It is well balanced beer with a malty backbone of the sort that @srw might approve. I was up for more extreme hoppage.

Went for a sociable pint with friends to the Harp in Covent Garden last night. First time I've been in there since the old landlady retired but it seems pretty much as good as ever. Still an impressively huge array of cask ales on offer.
Started off drinking the Dark Star Hophead, cos that's what the others were drinking. A reliable stalwart, always goes down well, very good but not that exciting. Moved on to another Dark Star after that - their American Pale Ale, which is pretty much a textbook example of the style - light, very dry and crisp with bold floral and citrus hop flavours. Although as with the Hophead, 'textbook' can also be read as not especially exciting. Still, very drinkable if you like that style of beer, which I do.
Possibly a little too drinkable, if the state of my head this morning is any indication.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
It's a hard life. The sun is shining, the buzzards are calling, the bees are buzzing around the lavender and the sloes are ripe for the plucking.
Sadly the beer aisles are almost dead. It's all big brewery Belgian stuff. This was exactly what you would expect a 7.5% Leffe with an exotic English hop to be like.

You can just about imagine that somewhere under the Leffeness there's a hint of a proper bitter - but only just. Perhaps the Fuggles version would be slightly more convincing.

Hop Fiction from Brewdog. The usual guff on the label about crraaazzzy hopping levels, but then it turns out only to be 40 IBU.
Slightly odd brewing process in that they don't use any kettle hops, just early and late hopping with cascade, amarillo and mosaic. Loads of peach and mango aroma and flavor, but very little bitterness. Incredibly pale too. A good summer quencher, but nothing out of the ordinary.
This evening's entertainment is courtesy of the student boat club opposite chez DP. It's fresher's week (OWee as they call it here), so they're having parties every night. It's freakin' loud!

Chattanooga beer joint - Jackalope ale, decent beer.
Founders Dirty Bastard, superb.
About 70 beers to choose from so a bit tricky really...

New brew on. A "robust" porter - should be about 7.5%. English hopping...
