High power meeting earlier with the representative of a German engineering firm. He had a bacon sarnie which was a pretty impressive doorstep.
Bought a couple of beers afterwards by Church Hanbrewer, hilarious play on words of a nearby village name. I can't say how much it was a bottle because our northern cohorts would pass out. Anyway they had some vile beetroot beer and other stuff with inappropriate shîte in it but I did manage to find a black IPA and a wheat beer. They're just in the coolerator easing back into a non hot car temp.

On call but it's been a rough week so there is some Proper Job on standby

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Yesterday evening I was mostly been drinking.... Washington State.
Here was the beer list...
My scrappy notes, in total, say
Lodge
Georgetown Porter with oats 6.2% Seattle
Iron Horse Irish Death 7.8% Ellensburg, WA
Wingman Peanut Butter Cup Porter off Tacoma
Georgetown Bob's Beer Brown Ale 6.2% Seattle
As usual everything was served too cold, and I was too thirsty to wait until it came up to a sensible temperature. But it was all pretty good basic malty stuff. At least everything that I had was - I was disappointed that the Peanut Butter Cup Porter was off, for obvious reasons.
I washed that lot down with a decent burger and sweet potato fries, and an appetiser that will make some people recoil in horror but was delicious. Roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze. A refreshing change after a week of meat, meat, meat, bread and more meat.

Having spent all week eating full cooked breakfasts, meat, bread, meat, bread and more meat I would pay a lot of money for a plate of Brussel sprouts just now! But I made do with a superb fish and chips from The Arch Inn in Ullapool, which is owned by friends. Highly recommended.
And I have 2 beers left for tonight; not sure if I can drink anymore tho so they might be travelling home with me in the morning.

I call them friends...surely being told on more than one occasion to "fark off" counts as a friendship?

Dark wheat beer, it's quite subtle, a hint of vanilla, I was anticipating poncey craft shîte with no substance but it's pretty good.

Blood Orange IPA. Some rye. Dry hopped with cascade, mosaic and citra with orange zest. Really good. Some of these fruit IPAs really overdo the fruit juice, but this comes over as just an extra orange almost marmalade hint in the hopping. Good stuff.

The BIPA's good too, a very Americky tasting beer, nice when that isn't all you can get. It's actually better than that sounds.

She's right - fantastic name. I had a couple in a Brewdog bar earlier this week: a bit too grapefruity for me. Jack Hammer though - prolly my fave Brewdog brew.

One final Pike Place IPA before I come home.
The beer selection at the tiny lounge in SeaTac (IPA or Bass or GYP) is better than the selection in the enormous lounge at LHR (Tribute or three kinds of GYP). And if anyone can tell me how to do business travel without eating and drinking too much, I'm all ears.

Cologne and Aachen (I translate). Not my favourist from DeMo. Tastes more saison-ish than Hefeweizen-ish to me.
