Beer?

I clicked "like" on both posts but must confess they are two breweries I'd cross the road to avoid.

Especially Jimmy Willy Lees

... Only if another option was on the other side, you understand. Otherwise I'd knuckle down

Just a few hours of January to go @Marmion - hang on in there.

I have taken the first 3 days of February off work to make up for it

Zenith IPA

This is lovely. Belgian Fantome, slightly bitter but well within my limits. Bloody good stuff with my pulled smoked pork.
And only 8%...

What about Old Tom?

Edit: I may be getting a bit confused here, is Old Tom a Robinson's brew?

Fantome! Such a good brewery. Love everything they do.

Last night's entertainment, the Old Thumper was the only one I hadn't sampled before, and very nice it was.

A question if I may, there are some obscure beers featured on here that don't appear on Tesco's shelves, are there any websites/shops that are to be recommended for enhancing my knowledge?

As soon as I hit post I realised my mistake.

Bam! White whale time. Hunahpu's Imperial Stout from Cigar City in Florida - rare as! Tastes like someone dissolved a Jamaican ginger cake In a heavy sweet stout. Fantastic!

Oh look. I seem to have some more pictures of beer-drinking on my phone.

@theclaud will have to report on the nasty stuff she favoured, but I can recall an Imperial Stout from the in-house brewery at the Pilot, a Plum Porter (bitter plums rather than sweet fruit vying uneasily for supremacy), a winter ale and a dark mild at a different pub (the Harp?) and Efes at the restaurant.

I snoozed most of the way home today.

Beer sounds great, but there's no excuse for this kind of nobbery. Nor for leaving the label on the base of the glass.

You've managed to make me look a bit pissed! Whatever next?!

The Park, not The Harp.

The Plum Porter was from Titanic, and was the consensus beer of the evening. Oakham Citra was the best, though.

There must be one of the newfangled two houses nearby? Even in Bolton.

They're springing up like mushrooms everywhere. If you see summert on here you fancy they'll probably even get it for you.

Personally, I prefer a pint of cask so Spoons suits me!

This is the Prairie Schooner in Urmston (from where I am posting). They have four casks too so best of both worlds.

The Weatherspoons in Walkden, Bull's Head, is a five minute walk from our house.
