Beer?

Well I'll get you one next time we meet, so long as you can do 'paw, other paw, leave it: Take it!''

Balance the mini cheddar on his nose, and tell him he can't have it until you say...

'Cos we are lit tho innit bruv.Our younger selves would be rolling their eyes at us JtM!
I was whiling away some time today in a shopping street while having some car tyres fitted, and popped into Aldi.
I know, I can't believe it myself, but deep down I'm just a regular guy, a man of the people...
This is a UK brewed US style IPA. Sl;ightly citrus and pretty good especially at a quid a pop!

You frightful hippy, you

I already posted this in the Tour de France thread, but it only seems fitting to post it here as well...
The venue is The Freewheel in Graveney - used to be a grotty old village boozer but has been revitalised as a 'community hub' type establishment - last time I went in, there were groups of locals playing bridge. But the landlord is a bike nut so it also has a bike workshop, and even better a big screen to show the racing. And the beer is excellent too - Foundry Man's Gold from the Foundry brewpub in Canterbury, just a few miles down the road. They also have home-made cakes and not-so-home-made Clif Shots by way of bar snacks.
The only downside is the pub is too close to home for it to be a useful coffee stop on my rides. But if I go the long way, like I did today, it's a nicely lumpy 12km, so just enough to work up a thirst...

Coffee Anise Porter (Ticketybrew, 5.2% abv)
After several "safe" beers in terms of what they attempt, here's a leap from Ticketybrew.
This interesting porter has the rich smoke, coffee and treacle that you'd expect from such a beer, with an unusual, astringent sweetness from the star anise. No. 1 son and I felt that the overall effect was a bit too vinegary , but applaud the attempt and the complexity of the flavour here.
I'd be interested to see what this brewery could do with an unembellished porter, as the taste beneath the star anise was excellent.
Mrs M says : "Very nice."

Sur Citra from To Ol. Super juicy mango aroma and loads of upfront mango flavour, but quite tart at the same time.

And the mosaic version. Slightly darker in colour, pineapple and passion fruit and less sharp than the Citra. Really enjoying the "sur" series from To Ol.
