Scorching ride out of that London last night led to emergency 'Belgian Manoeuvres' with my sortie confined to Tesco Local, before they shut their back door at 8pm.
Further counter-thirstierism measures included the deployment of the Cl-50...one douse from that is more effective than BoJo's water cannon.
There could be trouble ahead...my day involves 'passing' The Harp. (luckily I'm already highly strung.)

Ah, bugger it...
The lure of the Kernel was too much...
And what a whopper was waiting?!
A £6 pill o' potency in the shape of Dry Stout...only a 4.4% Mosaic (a few of these and you'll be on the tiles) Lovely, rich (him again) with gentle flavours...served cool enough to make it disappear in a trice. I'm sitting opiate the pumps, and lots of punters are buying 'Fosters'. Maybe they are parents? They are missing out on a veritable fest of taste! (Smutchin's skid marks are still in evidence from the other night...luckily his kecks are not present.)
Now I need serving, and the place is full of farking English people, in crimpeline and nylon, ordering cola and bottled water. There must be a Jeremy Corbyn rally nearby...grrr.

Seconds out... (Didn't have the heart to spoil the taste of that first one. ..yet)
I had a Leffe Ruby yesterday, on offer from Asda. It was a bit too sweet for my tastes. I prefer my cherryade a bit more sour.
Who are those people in mine and 3BM's seats, Teef?

They were but shadows, keeping warm the seats of yore.( which also puts the kybosh on your theory that ' being near the window while people smoked fragrant substances and exhaled in your vicinity...ultimately leading to your spatio-directional difficulties' blah blah - these folk seemed sober.)
I came to draw. The barmaid drew two pints. That'll do.

Just opened a Westmalle Extra for Mrs DP. She says: stop faffing around taking photos and give me my beer.

Speaking of the Kernel. Just got back from The very packed and lively Kernel in Bermondsey where this wonderful stuff in brewed. Sad news though, next saturday will be the last time they will be open on Saturday's. Although they've rumoured that they're opening a Tap Room soon, I'll keep you posted!
Great photo, @User482. Don't forget to Tweet it to @WeWantPlates

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I think it's about time I went to cook supper (sensitive souls look away now) - foie gras et ses toasts followed by veal chops.
But first, today's beer. Bought from the local bakery, a 6% ambrée and a 7% brune. At €2.50 the 330ml bottle. Both bottle-conditioned, brewed in Cissé, about 20 miles away, by La Gabarade a new artisanal brewery that deserves to succeed. They also do a 5% blonde, but blonde is boring.
The colours are a dead giveaway - the ambrée was a rich brown complex malty beast, while the brune was almost porterish, but still recognisably a dark lager.
Yummy yummy yummy.

Did his fish come standing up in that empty can, before it toppled over?
