Beer?

[User169]

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.

Sure, it's shoot, but things are changing pretty quickly at least in the craft beer world.

Check out this blog from Jester King - a superb brewery from Texas. They've just lost they're ace barrel blender - a woman - although I think they're hoping she might come back in the long run. They've also just promoted a woman to head of production.

Closer to home, one of the better local new breweries has a woman brewer and the two top beer shops in NL are run by women.

You probably don't want to know what Mrs M says about that.

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

And not forgetting the hostess of Drie Dorstige Herten!

Doinja! A bit prickly, but knows her beers.

I bought some garlic beer today, it sounds disgusting but I couldn't resist for some strange reason.

Titanic Plum Porter! excellent choice

I've just opened this, it's very fruity.

Mrs Stephec has had a sip and is hovering round it for more.

Hand-picked hops yesterday, beer with garlic today. Tomorrow baba ghanoush-infused ale...

He's a one-man middle-class beer-bait nobber.

Bank Top Flat Cap: a good session pint, this. A light bitter, hoppy aroma and some underlying sweetness. It reminded me of when Boddington's used to make a beer worth drinking.

I seem to have been taking photography lessons from RichP.

Quiz night! Yay!

A couple of hours limbering up, starting with Tweed Gyle 94.

Bitter, straw coloured, very little sweetness.

Moreish :P
