It's a bit more complicated than that...
Anyway, back on topic.....
I'm organising a party at the end of the month, and the venue only sells crap beer. My colleague who is heping my organise has found that one of our other colleagues is married to someone who works at the Surrey Hills brewery. They'll charge us about £2 a pint for a keg, and the venue will charge us £1.70 a pint corkage. Which means that importing our own decent beer will be cheaper than buying the bottles of London Pride that the venue sells.
So this evening I went on a beer hunt to check up on the . The beer in question is Shere Drop, their premium bitter. My phone told me that the 'spoons in Guildford sold the stuff. It wasn't on, so being a well brought-up chap I had a pint of Old Growler rather than walk out without buying anything. I'm afraid I didn't take a photo of the carpet.
My colleague had told me that the Guildford Tup sold the stuff, so I went up there. It didn't. It did have one of the brewery's other beers - Ranmore, their 3.8% session beer. Very pale and at the hoppiest end of what I think is OK.
I'm now drinking Cheshire Chocolate Porter from M&S (speaking of hot drinks...) It's moderately chocolately, but not very porterish - it looks and tastes more like a straightforward bitter. I don't know whether it's just me, but this crop of M&S beers seem rather less impressive than the previous crops I've had.

Back on topic and there is nothing nicer than a camomile,vanilla and honey beer thought for the Mug's mug...I know, let's call it a 'smug'.
I have brushed with prosecco, dabbled in Pussers 'Admiral Nelson' Rum and then some Pouilloux XO and have just cycled back to Base.
Camomile wins the day. It's hot. I'm cold.

One can but live in hop. Buy Kernel 5C, Brewdog, Innis & Gunn - all good party beers nonpareil. A case of M&S Styrian goldings is only about fifty sovs. Descend to Tescos, where bargains can be had. Fox people with a rare 'Sierra Nevada' (4 for sick squid). Propose everyone goes from Leffe Blond, via 'Miele'
To get past the 'teef lengfometer...
I wanted a beer. I went to two pubs and had a beer, but not the beer. I went home and had different beer. It was OK, but not as nice as I hoped.
to Brun then rejoice! It will then be morning and time for poathed eggths, hot buttered toath and the odd thomato, with a lovely glass of Black IPA as digestif. Thoroughly recommended - apart from the Leffe middle bit.

The Harvey's was sublime last night in the battlecruiser, so it was an effort to make myself try the, new to me, Lazy Lizard from local Lancing. An alliterative amber ale, perfect session ale. Another microbrewery being successfully supported by local indie pubs.
