Beer?

Birra Del Borgo! Nice beers.

Hope so. Saw them on Beerhawk and thought "why not"

I've only had two or three of theirs, but they're very well made. I went to a festival recently where they were supposed to be putting in an appearance, but shortly before the festival they announced they'd been acquired by ABInBev and the festival organizer immediately cancelled their invite!

A dark wheat beer which Mrs C brought back from Munich for me along with the glass, which comes with a smaller cousin.

Not bad. A bit too fruity/bready for me but pleasant enough. Mrs C said she'd finish it but she fell asleep, so tough.

Rhubarb sour from Wild Beer Co. Very nearly a triumph, but just lacking a bit of proper funk. That's being super critical though - a very fine sour ale.

Oxymoron alert!!!!!!

Also a perfect summer beer but I drank it anyway is the 2nd one from the quartet which came back from Munich

It's like a Hell beer. Easy down without a lot of anything to object too.

Blimey, those Germans just have no morals!

4 pints of Harveys in the boozer tonight. First time it's been the guest ale for some time. I'd (almost!) forgotten what a fine, proper pint it is.

This craft stuff is all very interesting, and I've tried a couple of them, but when it comes down to it you can't beat a British bitter, sorry hipsters!

Bitter is ok but they don't half make some weak versions of it

Some of the lower strength bitters are excellent, Hooky Best for example, first rate stuff and only 3.5%.

I got into trouble the other week drinking Whitstable IPA. I'd assumed it was a modern IPA at around 4.5-5%. It was only when my mate left the pub and walked straight into a waist high bollard that I checked and found out it was 3.8%.

I had some Saison last night for the first time (Birra Del Borga Duchessa), quite nice. May need to buy some more.
