Beer?

Geuze with basil, a collaboration between Lindemans and Mikkeller.

Great honey coLour. A big hit of basil on the nose, the taste is more herbal, although the basil is definitely there. Not the sourest, but some earthy funk and a bit of wood. Medium carbonation with a really long basily finish.

Top notch beer.

Brew day today...

American Pale Ale with lashings of hops. @srw will love it.

I have broken my shoulder doing an unplanned dismount.

Don't worry though. It's not my drinking arm

I look forward to a taste. When will it be ready?

You dozy bugger! Beer will numb the pain and if you turn up at Llandudno, remind not to slap you on the back in greeting.

Nobber.

I don't know if it's my age (I am exceedingly old), but if I drink as little as a pint at lunchtime these days, you can guarantee I'll be asleep in the chair by the end of the afternoon. I'm pretty sure I used to have more stamina.
Shame, as I

Ilkley Hanging Stone oatmeal stout. Quite a slim stout rather than something more Falstaffian.

This place is very conveniently situated on the way home after a hard afternoon of fingerwork, playing with St Michael's organ. It's got an Ilkley Brewery takeover at the moment.

There's also a membership club. I'm not (yet) a member.

Thank goodness for that!

Get well soon!

I had a try of Northern Monk Rapscallion. No hops, but orange and ginger. As the woman sitting at the bar astutely observed it tastes like washing up liquid. So I've got an Ilkley Mayan. Chocolate and chipotle and 6.5%. Yum.

M&S Saison, and joy - found my album of publicity photos, thought I'd lost it. Anyway a signed photo of The Hag, yay!

On my way out of the beer shop I picked up a few bottles which looked interesting, including the Schenk that @DP spotted a few pages back. Sensibly (my judgement is often impaired after a pint or so) most of what I picked needs chilling. So I opened an Anarchy brewing company stout which has done time in Pinot Noir barrels. It was uninteresting. The stout was ordinary; the ageing simply added an overtone of elderly barrels and corked wine.

Unfortunately the photo I took of my purchases isn't yet available on this computer - although Google has spotted that I take a lot of photos of beer, and has kindly grouped them in a "beer" album, it can't display the photos it's only just had uploaded - so here's a photo of beer drinkers. Taken, I think, in Dieppe nearly a year ago.

Google is getting scary. It's recognised that on my phone (it doesn't yet have access to my camera photos) I take a lot of photos of Beer, Bikes, Bar, Food, Cars, Sky, Flowers and Monuments. Reassuringly it can't yet identify a car. Most of my photos in the "Car" album are actually of bikes.
