Oy, you said you were on my side!
You do know what tremens means, right, troll?
That's the bit I don't trust, atch
This is weird stuff, looks like a stout but tastes more like a pale ale.
Very nice though, I wish I'd bought more than one now.

That's the best picture of a Schneider Weisse taken by someone rollerskating past the bottle as they pressed the shutter button that I've seen tonight.

That's it. As soon as I get home tomorrow sans the bat phone, I'm off to Tesco.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
By consumption or by preference?

Tonight I have mostly been drinking Lara.
In Guildford there is an Italian (Sardinian, actually, but that's a bit obscure for Surreians) restaurant called Shardana. If you're in the area - go. The ambience is a bit spit and polish, but the food is outstanding. The wine list is fantastic - every obscure Italian region represented without resorting to big-name Chianti, and the rest of the world represented by 3 ports and 1 champagne.
Since the last time I was in they've started importing from the Lara craft brewery in Sardinia. I started with Affumiada - as the name suggests is smoked, but with a woody note rather than the fag smoke shown on the label. That was a perfect foil for grilled veg with burrata and grassy olive oil with herbs.
Then I had a bottle of Tzar - a much better Belgian-style blonde than the Brugse Zot I had last night - with my chicken liver papardelle. I finished with a Sardinian cheese fritter (fantastically light) topped with bitter honey and served with Piculina saison. Again, a really well-made beer and a perfect match. Just don't think too hard about the sexual politics of the labels.
We finished with a tot each of Mirto, the uniquely Sardinian liqueur made from Myrtle. We've been searching in vain for a proper Sardinian style drink since visiting the island about 10 years ago - most of what you get in this country is too sugary. We've finally found it.
