M&S Warwickshire Amber Ale, it's a Purity beer so it should be good, and it is. Hallertau Northern Brewer and Cascade hops with English malts. It's not just any beer, it's yumtus beer.
Beer?

Your M&S posts are making 'beer choice on the high street' a very easy option, threeforsixquidmcginty. 
We'll all miss 'the Crac' - non?
OK that's a "non" then.

One of my pet hates is this current fad of calling a beer a Black IPA.
Not to say the beers aren't nice 'cos they are but they simply can't be black and pale at the same time.

Oh really?
It's true though; CAMRA led the crusade but lacked modern-day clout of pixels and bytes and crowdfunded opposition. 'Hipster' in the 70s was a move used to dance to popular beat combo music du jour..Weather Report or perhaps Santana? Or nod along with Lee Morgan or somesuch artiste, while supping anything which wasn't Red Barrel. Blue Nun ruled, along with lager and lime. The beard action was probably the same - just less pretentious.
Thank you for posting that, MossBros - immediately one starts stumbling along a memory lane. I do remember going to Ally Pally in a minibus loaded to the gunwales for beer festivals in my er 'formative years'...sigh.

Never having ventured into it, I was wondering if anyone could confirm if the Tea thread had a similar format as this one: people post pictures of their cups of tea with comments about whether it is nice or not; and whether they also have a @Crackle character who always manages to pour the tea over the top of the cup and it spills into the saucer.

Good moanings everyone!
I'm sure everyone has a teacup with crax in it...somewhere.

Out in the Manchester Northern Quarter with a mate last night. Quite a sesh
Pub 1
The Marble Arch. This is the flagship boozer for the Marble Brewery. Fabulous place, Pre-Llandudno ride mini-sesh will be held here. 1 x Manchester Bitter 1 x Chocolate Marble. The Manchester Bitter was a perfect sesh beer. My mate had a pint of Brew 900 which is 9.0% ABV. As the night wore on he came to regret this decision
Pub 2 Bar Fringe. Specialist Belgian bar. Duvel on draft
Pub 3 Not sure, The George? Anyway it was awful with rubbish beer and a landlady with a recently broken nose
Pub 4 Castle Hotel. 2 x Otley Oxymoron. Great old-fashioned juke box too
Pub 5 57 Thomas Street. Another Marble outlet. So I had 1 x Lagonda IPA. My mate was beginning to suffer a bit by this point. I was just about hanging in there
Pub 6 Can't remember the name, nor what I drank
Pub 7 See comments on Pub 6

Lunched at Flat Iron* in Covent Garden yesterday. Splendid steak and chips washed down with a pint of the superb house ale, a "Yorkshire beer" made by Copper Dragon brewery - reminiscent of Tetleys (when it was good) and served in a dimpled jar. No pics, alas.
They also had a selection of five Beavertown beers. I may have to pay a return visit. Or two.
*Interesting format, I admire its simplicity - literally the only thing on the menu is steak at £10, plus a choice of side orders and sauces. Ask for your steak rare and it comes undercooked enough to keep a Frenchman happy. There was a wider choice of beers than of main courses.
