The Oakham was top class, I might go back and empty the shelf.
As for the Bock, I'm glad I only bought one. Ok if you like an over the top malt fest, but not for me.

Seb bought me this to get me thru the cup final and babysitting
Lovely drop, reviewed in posts passim

Oh dear, has gramps been misbehaving again?
The dry-hopping strikes an incongruous note which happens to please me - underneath, it's arguably just another decent stout.

Tsk, making you drink from the bottle.
Remember to take that sample in once you've finished your beer, eh?
What the dickens....

While we're on an African aminal theme, Arbor Beach Blonde with Okky the okapi. If you're attacked by an okapi while drinking this beer simply hold the empty bottle by the neck, tap it on the ground to break it and wave the jagged edge towards the beast and shout 'do you want some?'.

Dub Tropical.
It's got oranges in.
I preceded it with a bottle of Shin Digger but should have gone the other war around. This is more subtly hoppy and a little bit sour; about as sour as I can take.
Seven Brothers Water Melon Wheat next.
Stay tuned.

You know you've had quite a night when you need to refer to Google Maps "Timeline" to remember where you've been
Manchester Northern Quarter with a couple of friends. They aren't beerthread types so we had to go to a few rough old pubs with crappy beer. But there were some decent ones mixed in.
For NQ aficionados it was Brunswick (awful place, never been before, never going again) that only had one bitter; Worthington Creamflow. Then the Crown and Anchor (Holts pub). Then the Wheatsheaf where I had a pint of JW Lees Kaleidescope (meh) and a pint of Manchester Pale Ale (rather better)
Then my friends said "lets go to the Millsotne". Well, goodness me, what a place. Old skool boozer with a guy playing an accordion who doubled up as the backing for the karaoke. A pint of something ordinary there. Onto rather posher Apotheca where they didn't have any bitter. So I had some "heavily hopped lager". It was really good. Far better than the Holts or JW Lees stuff I'd had thus far.
We then went back to the Wheatsheaf cos the DJ was doing a Northern Soul set. More Manchester Pale Ale and a fair bit of dancing.
Some other place where they had no draught beers but I had a jolly nice bottle of Flying Dog Easy IPA
Into the gay village for a couple more but I couldn't manage any more beer so had VaTs in a couple of spicy establishments.
Perhaps unsurprisingly I'm not drinking today

I know, I know, I know...
... I'll never learn.
Mango last week (rank) and water melon this week.
It's thin of body and weak in flavour. Treated blind you'd think it'd been watered down.
There's a keg of Tickety Brew Cherry Berliner Weiße on the bar.
It can stay there
