I think we might be trying to move beyond the obvious, otherwise we could all post a daily photo of a Carling pump.

So that rules out pish then

The weekend selection

Probably going to try that Anchor porter first.

A little update.....

I'm a weekend drinker. But today's purchases were calling me from the cupboard. So I've drunk the Ear Grey IPA and I'm half way through the Gamma Ray

The Earl Grey is lovely. I looked up on Ratebeer and they keep waffling on about Bergamot. I had to google this as bergamot it isn't readily available in Aldi Glossop. Great balance of bitterness and upfront hops. I'm struggling to get the tea flavour but overall a really good beer. Hopefully on tap in the Marble Arch April 23!!

Gamma Ray. Hmmmm.....it's obviously well made. Packed full of grapefruit, orange, lychee. But I'm not sure it's a world-beater

I was very taken with the Earl Grey when I tried it at the Grasmere Guzzler....hic...

Best beer name ever. A silky smooth 12,5% imperial RIS from To Ol with two types of chilli. The amount is judged nicely - my mouth is gradually going numb and it goes very well with the chocolatey malts. One of the chilies is chipotle which gives an added smokiness.

Goddards Fuggle Dee Dum, probably not the best name ever but a pretty decent red ale, not overly bitter but with light dry hop taste. Good stuff.

Out of focus pic, a homage to rich-p Cartier-Bresson.

When you go to a bottle shop and buy a mixed selection it's always the same. There's some beer you really like the look of....the bottle looks great, sounds fantastic. So you buy it. And it's disappointing. That was the 3 Mont Flanderen beer. Don't get me wrong, it was OK. But it wasn't nearly as good as I was expecting

The antithesis of this is the little stocking filler that turns out to be a humdinger. Enter....with a drum roll....Vocation Brewery's Heart & Soul. Brewed at Cragg Vale (England's longest continual gradient hill) near Hebden Bridge. Loads of fruit as you'd expect. A junior Marble. Only 4.4% but packed with flavour

Another one fromTo Ol - a coffee imp stout. Just the perfect amount of coffee. A fantastic aroma, but a bit too sweet for me. It's 10% and at this sweetness, I think you need to be nearer 15%.

Parkrun for me in the morning, so I'm on a beer diet tonight.

You might like Red Willow's "Smokeless" - a chipotle infused porter, although probably less than half the strength of that 'un

Christ on a bike. Two 750ml bottles of wine strength beer and you're still capable of posting. What the hell are you made of?
