It's a bit more complicated than that...
Like Aussie Chardonnay without the wine.

Fyne Ales Ragnarok in Tweedies Bar, Grasmere last Friday- Like their Jarl but with added oomph [Ragnarok is the end of the world in Norse mythology...]. A quality imperial IPA which is well worth a go if this is your thing.

This Fyne Ales looks like a lovely drop...
As I was train bound this evening, I glanced through the Evening Standard and there was writing about...Starbucks! It obviously means that one can buy beer totally tax free, and enjoy it for breakfast with one's panini. (Other stickers are available). Couple that with London's restaurants serving wine with breakfast, and there is trouble ahead for the London powerhouse!

Guildford's new Waitrose has opened, and it's got a decent beer selection. Own brand Amber ale - a respectable wheat-heavy ale. Own brand Bavarian Dunkelweiss - like every Bavarian Dunkelweiss it was gassy and reminded me of Munich. And Meantime London Stout - a sweet porter.

Trosewaits sells this one too. If you fancy getting one of your 'five-a-day' via grapefruit resemblance in beer, try this one. A nice beer that would say "Mrs M" any day.
Nice cap too.

Fyne Ales are doing a tap takeover in Rotterdam on Friday - might have a wander down given the recommendations here.
Meantime, one of my own, a DIPA.

I have a bottle of that set aside for me at the local wee shop
Tonight I am making do with this
Fyne Ales,ah now,I like their brews!Moo bar in Carlisle currently have one which certainly seems to divide opinion.Said to be a stout,it is golden in colour!-and goes by the name of Lemeringue!It certainly has a lemony aftertaste and I found it quite palatable,about 4.2% if I remember,different anyway.If you couldn't face that,then there was Jarl at the other end of the bar,and that is popular.Currently however,the strongest on offer is Jaipur X-10% and superb,should you get the chance to try it and are not likely to need your legs in the following two or three hours,give it a try.And this I might add from a man who tends to shy away from a big lads beer!I have a bottle of that set aside for me at the local wee shop

My favourite beer when out drinking, such a pity so few places I frequent sell it
Although I am heading northwards to visit my parents at the end of this month and my old local has it on tap

Interesting little write-up on the Shilling System.

Another interesting link from the above article refers to a book by Dr Harrison called 'Old Bristish Beers and how to Make them', first published in 1976 it looks like it might have some yumtus stuff in it.

The nights are fair drawing in, and to celebrate this I am having a dark beer night - next up is Fyne Ales (with De Molen) Hills and Mills Imperial Stout. 9.5%. I may be pished before too much longer...
I seem to have managed to find another bottle of this in the beer fridge...oh well, I was working late (from home) and just finished so I deserve some reward. I seem to work better when beer is available, maybe I should suggest it for my office? One or 2 a day should see me fine
Good innit! The first bar was started in Penrith in a former dairy and so.....The one in Carlisle has all sorts of "cow" related bits and pieces dotted around-quite funny really given that as Cumbrians we are more used to references to sheepMoo Bar!
.Apart from the beer,they welcome cyclists(you can take your bike inside)and dogs,(free dog treats behind the bar)so to my mind at least,its ideal.If any of you do the Coast to Coast,they also run The Shepherds at Melmerby.I shall be in there Friday pm if you fancy a pint-on me
.
