Beer?

[User169]

Nice festival if anyone fancies a trip to Belgium with a line up of just about all of the top English craft brewers. I think it's a bank holiday weekend.

Very nice wheat beer on offer at Waitrose - served in my favourite glass.

@rvw - you can look at the email time. I promise I didn't know about the beer festival.

And besides it will all be really hoppy.

True. @theclaud - sounds right up your street, and I think there's still a place available on the ride. Or indeed any of the other reprobates on the thread.

Brewdog sharing their recipes is challenging the dynamics of capitalism and at the vanguard of post-capitalism, it's also a bit of a publicity stunt to raise their profile in light of a £25m crowd-fund, well if you look at their website it's hardly all BUY OUR SHARES! However this is The Grauniad so a bit of an anti-capitalist spin is expected I guess. Anyway if you haven't downloaded the recipes I recommend it, not that I'll be making any but it's a nice piece of work.

So many recipes and so many of their beers taste pretty much the same. Admittedly I've only tried about 5, all nice mind but not so distinct from each other.

Still waiting for my beer from Germany to arrive, it's in the UK now. So I'm contenting myself with Fullers ESB. I noticed in the shop there's a Fullers Golden Ale but 8.5% is a bit much for a school night.

Good stuff that one, bit like a barley wine.

Bugger, I'm using all my Weihenstephen to clear the paths now.

That reminds me, I rather fancy an Augustiner Dunkel.

I think you need to drink 2000 bottles a day to reach a physiologically significant level, so prolly not much to worry about!
