I still have the shudders

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

How is 57 Thomas Street since the refurb?

How is 57 Thomas Street since the refurb?

I shall preface my comments with the fact that I was about 7 pints in by the time I got there.

It' a nice modern airy bar. Not sure how well it suits the Marble drinking experience. The Marble Arch feels like just the sort of proper boozer you should be drinking quality beer in
I'll give it another try. Maybe I was too pissed

 

[MossCommuter]

Sounds good. It was proper cramped before

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.

I am never going into the tea thread now, in case it isn't *exactly* like this.

Can tea have peach notes?

I regularly post tales there of massive sessions in the tea houses of Manchester and China

One of the real pleasures of a proper sesh like last night is the gentle trickle of memories the following day.

I've just remembered ordering a round of Jack Daniels shots to celebrate the life of Lemmy. And it seems I put the entire Johnny Cash greatest hits on the juke box

The Marble Earl Grey can double up as a beertea interface...
...or summink.

Lunchtime snifter, Broadside pour moi and a Badger Glory for Mrs 3BM.

This is why I need a break. To re-build my self-esteem, so cruelly swept away in this thread.

Poured with extra head in memory of a fallen hero, so long crax old pal...

Cannonball IPA. A post pie fest bibulation. Nice and hoppy and yet another great partner for pies. Yes the ale is cloudy but not as cloudy as the photo suggests.

 

[vernon]

Short's Brewing Company's Key Lime Pie. A wonderfully complex ale consumed with many types of pie - its tastes cycled through sharp lime, biscuit and cream depending on the pie being sampled. Not a drink to have regularly but is worthy of further investigation.

Yummy, Saison Dupont. Biscuity and lovely. My sense of smell isn't precise enough to do it justice.
edit - I'm thinking vanilla now!
