Beer?

[Spartak]

Pint of Dead Pony Club 3.8% in the Bristol BrewDog.

And the Carrie Dipa is even better (especially with a cheese &chorizo tosti)

This whole set up in the fenix food factory is great actually, in London it would be a festival of w@nkers but here there's all sorts and a really good atmosphere. Like a food court but you pick and mix what you have and eat it in any of the places.
And the quality is amazing.

It does.

I lived on Boompjeskade for a short time and a favourite afternoon was to take the water taxi to Hotel New York.

Luv Hotel New York!

What a silly name. What a delicious beer. Apparently the name comes from a Chinese legend of someone who was condemned to chop down a self-healing tree on the moon.

The beer is light, refreshing, subtly Herby in an unusual way (bay, apparently) and knocks German Hefeweiss into a cocked hat. It doesn't taste Chinese, or like a Sisyphean labour, or like a tree.

Schlenkerla. Yum. A roaring winter wood fire of smokiness.

MMM

Brightside's Manchester Magic Mild

5% so not really Mild at all.

Nice

It's in a dog bowl! Is that so you can lap it up without the use of an arm?

That is why I chose it as it happens. My usual in this joint is pork belly

It's coq au vin, not cocker spaniel. A real scene-setter, nevertheless. All good armless fun.

Fu Qu, from the Fu Kemmal stable was one that I tasted recently; the Moon business doesn't hold water though cf: the David Niven autobiography 'The Moon's a Saloon'.
(I haven't had a beer since Thursday - I'm going mad)

I've spent the afternoon being extremely masculine, feeding branches into a chipper. To compensate I've put some sun-dried tomato and wild garlic bread dough into the machine (burgers for tea) and opened a bottle of Ilkley Brewery's Westwood White Chocolate Stout.

Yes, it claims to be stout but it's pale brown. It does taste of Milky Bar.

Do you think that will dampen down my rampaging testosterone sufficiently?

Pah! When I mentioned that beer, everyone took the p!ss.

 

[stephec]

Not as exotic as some but it's one of my favourites. I've started on the beer while getting organised for a visit from @theclaud, who has been cycling from London to Hastings today with various others miscreants on here .

I've got one of those in this week's stash.
