Beer?

[User169]

This sounds like a tradition worth resurrecting.

Better get cracking - it's Shrove Tuesday and Carnaval ends today!

So there might be "fewer brash hoppy IPAs" in Britain soon, due to a hop shortage . http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/feb/08/hop-shortage-could-be-the-making-of-craft-beer

Hooray!

Purple Moose do a seasonal with Bog Myrtle, and it's rather nice.

Coffee works well in beer. An adult Jägerbomb.

For some reason bits of Switzerland seem to have theirs next week.

Anyway, I've been indulging in Schneider Weisse Tap 7 as an après-ski. It's okay, but basically just the same as every other mass market Bavarian Weizen. And it's a big improvement over the local bière Valaisienne, which is mediocre in the extreme.

Blimey, this packs a punch even @ 'only' 4.7%. Typical new world hoppiness, tropical fruit etc

German brewer, Brau Kunst Keller - Imperial Stout single barrel aged rum. Looney juice at 11.3%, quite rummy, very smooth. A snip at £14 for 330ml.

Oh gawd...

First it was rose-hips and sea buckthorn and as if that wasn't bad enough we're going to get bog-myrtle, sage and lingonberries. I have no idea WTF lingonberries are but I know I don't like them in my beer.

Come back Holt's Mild - all is forgiven.

Nordic version of the cranberry. Smaller. More subtle. Beloved of the Sami who put them in beer and pretty much everything else.

Fourteen quid! Bit of a silly kunst if you ask me (which you're not.)

The Sami aren't big on pies.
