Beer?

Oh look, it's tc, has she recovered yet?

There was even unassociated advertising in the esteemed publication to which the aforementioned piece belongs m'lud. I'll display it here forthwith (not forth bridge - that's shut for now...)

In case of doubt, the website mentioned in the above 'ade'vertisement is www.itdoesnthalfgetyoupissed.com. If you type in www.itdoesntgetyouhalfpissed.com - the same result will ensue.

Big picture alert!

Christmas saison - what a great brew - spicy, chocaltely yeasty stuff going on. Ordered a couple of big bottles from DeMo.

My first of the Christmas ales - see upthread.
Slightly sweeter than I normally like but pretty pleasant caramel, fruity flavour. Well worth the money, although I haven't got a fecking clue what it cost.
Good cappage too, @Marmion !

Nice cap. The character is wondering whether to have another...9% or so...eek!

Weighing in with tonight's selection...

Although I may not make it to the actual night and don't tell me about the Thornbridge boycott as lots of Thornbridge bottles have feature on this thread recently.

My first Saison as well. I doubt it's my kind of drink but I thought I'd give it a whirl.

My favourite beer style. The trick is to use a yeast which ferments at warm temperatures so it gives off lots of tasty esters.

They can be highly carbonated though - so watch the pour!

Crax and a saison pour, there'll be a tidal wave over Wirral.

I was trying to be just a little bit subtle, 3bm!

Last night I was mostly drinking Marston's Oyster Stout, which is GBP* but a bit less G than Guinness. Mostly. But I was also drinking "vino rosso 11%" and "vino bianco 11%". This morning I was a little bit fragile. This lunchtime I had a Budvar, which made me feel a little less fragile.Tonight I'm going to dinner at the Ritz and will probably not drink any beer. Probably.

Pah! The pour will be recorded. This black ipa is rather nice and the Harbour porter was superb as usual. I know, early start but I drink as I cook. Puntuated by a relaxed dog walk.
I'd deal with you all individually if I wasn'

t on this useless tablet.

See!
