Beer?

[rich p]

For £5.95 I expect both!!!! That's just a brewery being ponsy.

Nobody forced me to buy it
Nobody forced me to drink it
Nobody forced you to admire my tastes

BrewDog tap takeover in Haarlem tonight. Tap list shows shipwreck. Quite tempted not to go to Belgium after all.

Some seriously good choices on there DP. What a dilemma...

All true but it's beers like this that are already turning me away from the craft beer movement.

Supposed to be riding the RvV course tomorrow. Not really looking forward to it, but at least the weather looks OK.

Hoxton stout 6%

And that may be an apple crumble on the left and a butchers steak pie behind, inspired of course by Vernon.

Beer is lovely. Sweet malt but hoppy and slightly bitter. Very smooth.

Rum Porter (Boggart Brewery, 4.7%, bottle conditioned)

Kindly shared with me by Mrs M, this has a lot of smoke upfront, with some caramel and a nice smoky bitter finish. Nice aroma too.

If you like a flavourful, smoky Porter with a bit of complexity, you'll love this.

Madhatbrewery, Nightmare on Bold St. 9%

Now I've never had a nightmare on Bold St. It's one of my favourite Liverpool streets and the beer does nothing to dispel that. It's absolutely bloody lovely. Smells....superb and evocative but I can't quite place why. Taste, dark, molasses, sweet....just gorgeous. Why didn't I buy two.

I only hope son2 does not call later with a puncture as he took my Marin to go to a friends. Mrs C has not drunk though....

They've got Shipwreck @ 13.8% - £5.95 for a third!
Should I?

Nearly had that last night, bottled it though, not literally...

Actually, heavy going. Glad I just bought one.

And it smells of mushy peas!

That's because you are incapable of moving on from your belief that things can only be good in oversize portions.

No it's about value for money and not making a huge margin just cos something is a fad. I absolutely respect rich's prerogative to buy it though.

I have paid £12 for a pint before but it was a special pint
