Beer?

Teapots full of crappy port...

Speckled Hen was the best thing on offer.

A Great Seat of Learning and they haven't worked out how to stock a sodding bar...

Liam Byrne has just described Jez Corbyn as the craft ale of the labour movement.

Edit: I wasn't sure, but it seems this was intended as praise cos he's authentic and flavoursome.

Still at work past 8pm. This seems appropriate...

"Nat en Straf" = wet and strong

Can't argue with that assessment.

They never could. I remember my college bar (at the better place) sold 67p pints of some keg abomination - which is why I'm so fond of Newky Brown. It was 80p a pop, but the extra 13p was worth it.

You went to Kingston Polytechnic too?

A couple of Arbors in my local last night. "Triple Hop" is a Pale Ale, easy drinking, could perhaps do with a little more malt flavour to balance the hops, which dominate. I'm pretty certain @srw would hate it. "Double Standard" is a better balanced pint in my opinion - hoppy, aromatic and some malt flavour.

Mmmm Marble, they look like they've got loads of good stuff.

I'm thirsty but it's a long way to go yet before beer time.

Just about to push off to DeMo's festival. A guy I know makes beer icecream and has a stand at the festival. He's just posted this piccie of James Watt (Brewdog founder) trying his Jack Hammer sorbet...

DP's on a fast train to squaresville unless he's hipstered-up.

Journey home from the Cycle Show takes me via Euston so it would be rude not to call in at the Bree Louise...

Not sure what it is, tbh. Some kind of black IPA, I think.

Edit: googles... it's this: http://www.brainscraftbrewery.com/beer/black-mountain-5/

Pretty good stuff. Might have another in a minute.
