I would query the analytical accuracy of any "survey" that placed Derby in the top 5 most beautiful cities to live in the UK

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?

same stuff as me i imagine !

Having met both of you, I can say with some confidence that this is not the case.

I am taking that in a positive way !

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

I noticed the shop next door to me sells this. I'd overlooked it, I may have another look.

Still on call tonight so just the 4 Hobgoblin from Lidl, £1.25 a bottle

It was £1.25 a bottle in Booths, so I had to.

There's not much difference in taste between the original and rum though.

Oh yes it is. Three Cliffs Bay and Worm's Head respectively. Displaying typical weather conditions.

You might have lapsed into untruth toward the end there.

Hurtful.

In the same way as this is London.

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 vote for Vocation-I've been pretty chuffed with their beers that I've tried so far, including that one.

Winter Warmer (Dunham Massey Brewery , 6.6% abv)

This is lovely - very flavourful, with quite a lot of smoky/coffee type flavour vying with a rich fruitiness as the dominant tastes and a touch of prickly hops. There's a pleasant bitterness in the finish as well.

Mrs M says: "Very Nice."

Goddards Duck's Folly, strong ale, well 5.2%. Good stuff.

 

[Crackle]

Anchor Porter was smooth but plain, I expect more from stuff sold in 330ml bottles
Ticketybrew was quite nice
Aphelion is like a black ipa, again nice.

I finished the last one in front of the ruggers. Still got a punk in the fridge for the footie tomorrow.

Well that's the Hobgoblin gone. Still on call tomorrow night but may try some of the Innis and Gunn stuff. Also waiting for my crate of German beer to arrive from Koln so that will fuel the "Coming off being on call" party.

...may try some of the Innis and Gunn stuff...

I have really gone off I&G. Just too "in your face" for me.
