The spoils of my visit to Kelso this morning

I had been intending to get a few session ales but ended up with (from L>R) 6.3%, 7.4%, 4.0%, 9.6%, 4.9% and 8.0%. Which I suppose will be a good "session" of sorts :smile:

The Tempest and Buxton beers were Berliner Weisses. It's my first experience and the beer shop chap said they were sour but not in Gueuze-sour. But they certainly hit your tastebuds. I got the order mixed up so went Berliner Weisse, Double IPA, Double IPA, Berliner Weisse.
In future I think it will be no Berliner Weisse at any point.

I decided I needed to develop my saison tastes. After the last one, which i didn't like, it's taken me a while to prioritise picking one up. I was not expecting to like this but the bloke in the shop reckoned it was a good one and he's right. It's really nice. I'm encouraged to pick up some more now.
Try and get your hands on some of BBNo's stuff. The Chamomile & Hisbiscus is a winner, but they have a mahoosive saison range with all sorts of exciting and exotic variations - I've only tried a handful but I'm up for the lot.

I think that deserves an official Beer thread pilgrimage - the Buckinghamshire cradle of Scot Nat Nobbery.

You could probably construct a reasonably passable brewery crawl-cum-bike-ride in the area without too much difficulty. Red Squirrel outside Hemel, Haresfoot in Berko, Tring, Chiltern outside Wendover, Aylesbury brewhouse, XT at Long Crendon, Vale outside Brill and Oxfordshire in the cycling centre of the universe that is Marsh Gibbon.

Knock out Aylesbury (where the National Trust has its only pub) and that's a pretty fine ride.

Hmm, my fading memory suggested they own a pub in London's famous London, near London Bridge. Google confirms this: The George Inn, Borough High St. And it also tells me they run the Sticklebarn Tavern, Langdale. (The BBC article about that pub says they own 60 pubs, but they are all tenanted and run as individual businesses.)

I'd argue that that's pretty much the one to measure others against, love that stuff
