My daughter let out her house on airbnb at the weekend and decamped to our gaff while earning the ackers. As a thank you, she gave us a bottle of decent Chablis. Hi Murs, but I'd better shuddup before I'm told the wine thread is thataway >>>>>>
Yumtus defaulted to Hi Murs on the phone! Crazy world!

It's a bit more complicated than that...
The only ones I tried had bog myrtle in them. They weren't actually that bad, just not as good (to my taste at least) as hopped beers.

I think Williams in Scotland make a couple of beers with various herbs in them.
One of the beers I think I reviewed upthread, from somewhere in Sussex, seemed to have been bittered only with coffee. It was fabulous. I've got an Espresso beer (and I can't remember whether it's got anything other than coffee as a bitterer, or indeed if it contains any coffee at all) at home, to finish up before dry January starts.

The astutue may notice an issue with those last four words. And also that my memory appears to be impaired. I promise - no more than usual.

A can of your finest Heady Topper!

This is one of the most highly rated IPAs in the world right now. Reminds me of juicy fruit bubblegum. Tremendous stuff. Cant bring myself to drink it from the can though as per the blurb on the can itself.

Beer on the harpsichord, with interesting accessories might be nice...
Your wish, etc etc etc etc

Radio 3 was playing Mozart on modern instruments, and the harpsichord is an electronic one (but still outstanding).

The beer? It's OK. Maris Otter malt and Target, Northdown, Challenger and Goldings hops (I'd like to say I could taste them, but actually I read it off the box) give an 8.5% strong beer. I preferred the Chiltern barley wine, frankly. Perhaps it would be best in a couple of years time, but I don't have the patience.

Worktop's uncracked - like the head on the beer. See Rich's furniture for 'je ne sais quoi' passim. Side panels on the rad. covers are imaginative, and the hi fi is too low to pick up a casual press on the remote button. 10/10 for interpretation though...particularly exceptional to have your balls on the harpsichord too. Make sure you remove them after tomorrow. Best guess for the waste paper bin is Tesco leather effect, although their edges are a little more sculpted. It's gotta go - no-one throws anything in a bin on the Beer thread! :smile:
 
Hilden Brewery - Belfast Blonde



Here's one I scooped earlier (in Belfast, 2014) with a few more in the background

That's no side panel - that's a door. And the waste paper bin, like almost (?) all the furniture, is Ikea.
