Who wouldn't be disappointed at missing out on a visit to 'trose.
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
If we're big shop beer shopping, I think I'd be happy with them, or M&S.Who wouldn't be disappointed at missing out on a visit to 'trose.
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.Saison Dupont

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.
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 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.

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

One of the beers in my last pic was Cloudwater, DIPA v2, and it was very nice. Not as good as the Fyne Ales one tho.I had my first from Cloudwater tonight, Session Beer (crap name) on draught from the offie.
Very bitter and hoppy which wouldn't please everyone but it's right up my avenue...
