Beer?

You're not winning friends.

Sorry @martint235

I've got a couple of Leffe Blonde in the fridge but I think tonight is going to be King Goblin and Marstons Owd Rodger. I may throw in a Bengal Lancer

Owd Roger and the Bengal Lancer; sounds like an Ealing Comedy or saink

Went for an Imperial Red to start with

The end of day 21. I am going to buy the most alcoholic beer I can find at the end of this nonsense and get p*ssed on one glass.

Go for it! I am minded to start a niche 'tea flavoured beer' thread... Earl Grey IPA anyone?

This is as close to a Belgian beer a you can get from Bristol. Really nice, I recommend it. Amber ale, winter rye.
Top beer but I might as well buy Belgian beer rather than a good copy?

Am I the only one who isn't massively impressed by the Brewdog offerings? Yet to come across on that I think "ooh that's really nice"

I think they've suffered a bit from everyone doing a Punk IPA-a-like. I still like Punk, but it doesn't seem as out of the ordinary as it once did. Jackhammer seems like Punk IPA: The Next Generation to me, and I quite like that. If you're not overfond of hop forward brews, I can see the Brewdog would not be your cup of tea.

My go-to brewer for knowing what they're about with hops (at the moment) would be Oakham though.

I tried that one over Christmas and thought it excellent - loved the marmaladey aroma. Definitely a brewery I'd look out for again.

Chocolate stout in the lamb and flag

Kronenbourg isn't beer anyway. Lager thread is thataway>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I hope you've come over from the dark side!

That might answer a question of mine, is the golden liquid acceptable on this thread?

In that London?
I have been watching clickey-ba in the boozer opposite 6 More London.
All the Ds...Doombar and Deuchars.
Awful stuff, lacking integrity, taste and shoddy in appearance. (Reminds me of some of my most valued drinking partners Rich...)
