Beer?

[Crackle]

Brimstage Brewery Trappers Hat. Only 3.8% but really good. Not overly hoppy despite its claims. Very refreshing.

Outta Colorado. Ver, ver hoppy and thick.

Post wedding, pre fettling beer, as modelled by @rvw. I decided I deserved it, having noodled around for 20 minutes at the start of the service waiting for the bride and then played them out with Mendelssohn morphing into the Star Wars theme tune.

This was Father Squirrel, a spicy Belgian-style brown ale. I then had a pint of 1516, an extremely authentic Rheinheitsgebot compliant Weissbier (even if the brewers, bless'em, can't spell German), and one that is much better than any Weissbier I've had in the last few years in Munich. It is apparently brewed in Germany.

I realise I failed in my duty to report on the animal-repellent qualities of these beers. Father Squirrel is more than a match for Sciurus carolinensis. The 1516 will serve to attract the extremely cute Funambulus palmarum.

Had some cracking beer from the Twickenham Brewery yesterday, whilst down there for the Rugby Premiership Final. Naked Ladies was my favourite and seeing it poured direct from a barrel that was sat on the bar in The Cricketers pub in Richmond was superb!

Aversion therapy, innit.

Hola amigos. I've managed to find some non-yellow pìss beer in Galicia. A sigh of relief all round I'm sure.
The San Amaro artisan pale was a Leffe like 6%

ale. In a cafè though so not availsble à la mia casa.
The San Miguel is a 6.2% amber, malty acceptable glug from the local Lidl. More research required for another quaff. Adios...

I hope you marked it on your phone so that you can find your way back if all else fails

I've hopped til I dropped

Glossop sesh last night...

Kick off in 'spoons (14oz Aberdeen Angus with free pint for £12.95)....I selected the most expensive pint I could find natch, Kelham Island's London Calling. A premium (5.6%) best bitter. It reminded me of the beer I used to drink in my youth, but revved up by high alcohol. Good malts, not citrusy at all. Rather nice.

Time for one more in spoons so knocked back the alcohol in anticipation of a sesh...Longdendale Lights from the Glossop Howard Town brewery. Happy to support local enterprise when it's this good. 3.9% sessionable pale ale

Onto Harvey Leonards. This used to be in a little shop but they've moved to big premises opposite the train station and are a full blown premium bottle shop and drinking destination. They even have draught beers now

Pint of Cloudwater. Loads of grapefruity, citrusy loveliness (as it should be for £4 a pint...very much a premium price in the Northern Powerhouse). So I had another

I spotted they had Kernel IPA in the bottle fridge. Popular amongst beerthreaders but I've never tried so I had a try. More hoppy, grapefruity loveliness. Jolly good. Then I had a can of Life and Death from Vocation Brewery who are based in Hebden Bridge. I've had this before. Full on USA style but will a really good malty backbone. They've started selling in Tesco (at half the price I paid last night)

Went to another couple of pubs. Had another from the Howard Town range; Monk's Gold. This was a 4.0% golden ale. I can't remember if it was good or not but I drank it all so it was probably ok

Final one at last orders in the Oakwood. Very well kept Robinsons pub. Pint of Unicorn which is a 4.2% golden ale. Acceptable

Then I did something I haven't done for about 25 years. I went for a kebab. Let me tell you, after all that beer, a kebab with chilli sauce is bloomin' fantastic

Went to friend's birthday party last night and drank lots of beer; Hooky Gold and Ten to Ten, Old Speck and then finished off with a cockburn.

finished off with a cockburn.

I very much hope that's the port brand you're referring to

The lunch of champions, somewhere in Lincolnshire at 125mph.

That was supposed to be a photo of a sausage roll, but the first photo didn't take.

The beer is a decent light bitter, brewed by Rudgate of York. Guaranteed against hares, especially when served in an HST.

Pint of Hop Head in the Porter House
