Beer?

[smutchin]

Have you got an air gun?

That thought did go through my head when I was setting up the pic.

Did you have one of these as a kid?

It's an ayr gun up there.
A new Arbor, just as good. Basta Rosse, bitter and toasty roasty flavour. Yum.
T us.
Seef from Antwerp. It was more than okay but I drank it above ideal temperature due to my impatience and insatiable thirst. Modelled by A.N. Other.

When in Scotch-land...

I was in Pitlochry this weekend and across the road from the hotel was 'The Drink Monger', where they had a rather excellent range of Scottish beers. I couldn't resist. They are, from left to right:
Wooha Brewing Co IPA - not sure why this one particularly appealed but I quite like the cow on the label. I looked them up and interestingly, it turns out they have an all-female brewing team.
Grozet - bit of a classic, though I'm not sure if I've actually had it before.
Stewart Brewing Co Margarita Gose - intriguing. That is all.
Eden Mills Bunker Double IPA - hoping this one does what it says on the tin.
Cromarty Brewing Co Chardonnay Barrel-Aged Wildbush Foraged Saison - does this win the prize for ponciest beer ever invented?
Fallen Brewing Co Chew Chew Salted Caramel Chocolate Stout - this probably runs it a close second.
Eden Mill Shipwreck IPA - a more straightforward offering than the Bunker, I guess. Still 6.2% though.
Radical Road Triple Hopped Pale Ale - very pale and very hoppy, apparently. Sounds good.

They're all for later. I'm on my way back down south now and stopping off with my brother en route. It just happens that my brother's 'local' is the rather splendid Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket, so I stopped off for some of their superior home brew to quaff this evening (and might have stopped for a quick one while I was there)...

I've had three of those. The Grozet is gooseberry-tastic. There's not much else going on with it, but gooseberry-tastic is alright with me. The salted caramel stout is pleasant enough but essentially just a fashion statement, and the Radical Road is not terribly radical. I'm excited about the Margarita Gose and the poncey wild-foraged thing tho.

It's not one of mine, it's still in the glass.

Yesterday afternoon we had an early supper at the White House, by the river in Guildford. It's a Fuller's pub. I started with a Honeydew (the ale for lager-drinkers), which was cold, refreshing, hit the spot but went down too quickly.

Since I needed to stay awake for the evening I then had a pint of the weaker Oliver's Island. It turns out to be named after Cromwell, and it's a lovely light pale ale, moderately hoppy but with a good balance of malt.

I finished with a half of Montana Red, an American-style rye beer. Half a pint is about the right volume for this sort of thing, I think.

We then topped off the evening with a trip to see Florence Foster Jenkins at the cinema. Meryl Streep is brilliant.

You do know that Phil's surname is Istine, don't you Nick?

 

[smutchin]

Does he have a twin brother called Pal?

And one called Si?

I bought this 'gin beer' at the food festival we went to on the way to the picnic venue, but I didn't like it so donated it to User, who did:

I have to say i did have two but i won't be partaking again.

As a lover of Gin and a lover of beer the two most definitely should not be mixed.

 

[Hill Wimp]

I understood that it didn't actually have any gin in it, but I can't remember why it's called Gin Beer

It still wasn't pleasant but i didn't want to waste it.

When I saw it I thought it was some kind of Gin-ger Beer.

Tonight I'll be mostly arșeing a round. I hope to be a victim of the soft selle, but, derriere like the beer 'oak aged vintage'.
We all have our Rolls to play.
