This stuff might be made by 'The Man' but by freak it's good, really good. And rich said it was OK.

Been without a connection for a while so just catching up. Why are we boycotting Thornbridge? What makes them 'the man'?

Can't remember exactly but they are definitely MAHOOSIVE NOBBERS. Lovely beer tho.

I've edited my post, see above for better explanation.

I have been buying the beer for our forthcoming trip to Boston, Mass. Several of Hopping Hare, some of local town breweries.

Yep

Very unsporting of them, really. If they'd make more uninspired, watery dreck, I'd find the boycott much easier to uphold, personally.

(Although I've had no Thornbridge since the Jaipur, back upthread.)

Do I recognise that top and watch-strap?

Spanish vanilla RIS. Vanillas well over the top.

Urban Wheat (Goose Island, 4.2% abv)

A funny one, this - it's tasty, but insubstantial. A fair bit of biscuit in the first taste, a little bit of freshness over that, and then a slight bitterness. Not a lot of aftertaste to it, which I think makes it hard to get a handle on just what's in there.

Light, but not bland, I think, is the best I can come up with. At a,lower abv, it would be an excellent session beer.

Mrs M says: "Very nice."

FFF Brewery mild - Pressed Rat and Warthog, a comedy name so I'd normally steer clear however I was at the brewery so it would have been rude not to. Started off a bit thin but shaped up ok once it settled down, only a 3.8% so it's working hard to be a decent beer, ok flavour and a surprisingly robust finish.

They've just opened a new pub in NL! In Den Bosch of all places. Soft opening for now, but full opening in the next week or two.

Is Den Bosch a shïtehole? You could go along and be King Scab.

Had a couple of these after finishing today's Ronde Picarde Sportif at Eaucourt.
