Beer?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I went to a garden centre this morning (don't ask). They had a large display of these handy fridge-magnet bottle openers with names on. Unfortunately it seems that to drink beer you can be a hubby, a bro, and even a Dick but what you can't be, I'm afraid, is female. Just saying.

You could if you were Dean of a Faculty

That's cos laydeez can't manage something so manly with their soft delicate hands. You have to get your fella to open them for you, or failing that, buy screw tops

Having said that I could only just manage the Leffe bottle cork last night.

It's lunchtime on a Sunday and no pics yet from Mossy? Has he been kidnapped?

Oops, sorry... Forgot

This is NZPA, Hawkshead Brewery

Tempest Brewery Armadillo from Northern Britain.

Obviously orangey and gloriously grapefruity.

It counts as pudding.

Or maybe I'll have sticky toffee pudding and custard

I'd like to say it's also because we don't feel inclined to clutter the kitchen with tawdry mass-produced crap but, given that I can't see any of the men I know buying these things for each other, I'm afraid that's probably disappointingly far from the truth.

Dylan, Dean and Dominic are clearly men of great taste

Last night i was pleasantly surprised that the poncy hipster pub wasn't and had decent beers on . Sharps Doom Bar very well kept.

after the curry with the dive club i went to the Red lion in Leytonstone ( a nice Antic pub ) and finished the evening off with several pints of Atlantic. and got chatted up by a young lady who was 21 according to her. maybe she was playing the who can pull the weirdest bloke game.

Sori Investor IPA. Made in Estonia by Finns.

nice biscuity malt and a slight lavender aroma. Not bad, although all these American-style IPAs tend to blend into one.

Imperial Stout from Nogne O. Chocolatey, bit of coffee and quite a sweet finish. Almost no hop bitterness.

I like that beer, licorice iirc?

Did Nøgne Ø sell out recently? Another Anheuser or Millar acquisition?

Lots of chocolate and licorice.

Yep, they sold to Hansa Borg a couple of years ago. Kjetel, the guy that founded Nogno O wrote a piece last year when he resigned from the company last year. Painful reading..

Nogne O's Quadrupel. This is just so good. Aged in red wine barrels. Totes amazeballs!

Well this is lovely stuff, it's got such a fresh hop taste, quite a floral aroma too. Vectis Yumtus.
