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!

Always an 'indoor' drink though...Heath & Safety etc. I was quite delighted by the Dry...first time for me. On approach (a bloody greedy tongue hanging out approach) I had the Citra buds on amber alert, and I was both disappointed yet surprised! That's the nicest thing about beer and taste. All those people slugging Fosters and demanding Becks though...chacun a son gout.(add your own grave and circumflex...I'll die a critic)
Rugby is about to start - may the best team win...radio beckons. ("Beckons" I said, Rich, not "Beacons")

The Celt Experience - Native Storm (4.4% abv)

By crikey, this is the most straightforwardly bitter beer I've had in a while. There's an initial bit of malt, and then a fair old blast of grapefruity hops, with some sweetness lurking in the background of the flavour. It says on the label that it's infused with mint, but I didn't pick up much of that (and good on them for keeping it subtle, I don't think I'd have liked it too much to the fore in the taste).

I fear my palate, and words haven't really done justice to this one - I suspect there's more complexity behind the bitterness that I've not picked up - worth a try if you like something hoppy.

Mrs M says: "Very nice."

This NZ beer with added earl grey was bloody bonzer. Not too tea-ey and floral and citric.

Looks like you had an executive box at the Amex, Rich.

Great photo, @User482. Don't forget to Tweet it to @WeWantPlates

Wankery forgiven on account of it being really good fish and chips. And the Doombar was really well kept.

I'm dragging you down to my level of " tasted quite nice" John

I've just drunk 2 Duvels from a Vettel glass. My irony meter has just gone off the scale DP

I was told by the landlord of a boozer in Derbyshire that Doombar is the biggest selling draught bitter in England these days - taking over from Marston's Pedigree.
Dunno if it's true but it's what I tell everyone.

You're just an old bar binger of Doom...
England lost...just. Twelvetrees out, Robshaw anonymous, Burrell doubtful...Youngs the hooknortoner...hmmm. Let's hope Stuart has a round head on square shoulders and doesn't adopt a cavalier attitude to selection.

37 degrees in Seville so any beer, so long as it was cold and wet, was acceptable. Lucky for me as the bars, it seems without exception, serve ice-cold generic Euro-piss

Portugal tomorrow. Maybe this is the promised land of artisanal craft beer? We'll see

Just because it's PORTugal - no LEFFe leaning pictures, please. It's obviously Vuelteringly hot in Spain. 27C hotter than a couple of mornings that I experienced!

Slightly obsessed with Kess' Grapefruit IPA right now. Made with Sorachi Ace and Cascade (obv), it's the perfect summer beer.
