Beer?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

The only time I had a chilli beer I regretted it.

I shall be entering the premises with at least one if not both eyebrows raised...

If ever eyebrows said "chilli beer?"

Seems like 'International drink something daft' day.
Earlier, I popped into a shop and ventured "Avez vous une bière ma cherie ?"
He pointed to these; luckily only 2 and a bit Mossirlamis per 6. Nice enough thirst quencher/cleanser on a sweltering day I suppose (it's lambicking down at the moment) and at least I've tasted one. Next time I visit Austria, I'll not be up Schitpadel without a Kriek.

Red Willow's one isn't bad, but I'd not want more than half a pint of it. Otoh, maybe you'll find the chilli beer that is good...

I can be there in a couple of minutes.

It turns out I can't upload stuff from my phone due to being incompetent/having no signal/having no idea, delete as appropriate so, the rest of my holibob excursion.....

The dog took his driza bone but we ended up wet as a fish and I'm still drying out. I can't see the garden for hung up things but I digress....

This was very nice, Red Pike

This eventually was but started off colder than lager but I had time as I had sent mrs C back up the road to fetch the car after I pulled out a you owe me card, long held for just such an occasion.

The trouble is I forget what it was. it might come back to me...

Best forgotten was an excursion to the worlds filthiest bar where I had a pint of something which may well have been nice but just tasted badly kept. No picture, we swigged and left and I wouldn't let the dog lie on the carpet in case he got dirty.

Part two next week....

My local Home Bargains have got this stuff in again, they had six bottles on the shelf this afternoon, not now though.

Have you tried Ilkley Mayan (Imperial Chocolate chilli stout)? Packs a mean punch though!

Took my dad out for a birthday pint this evening. We went to a local pub that we've not tried before. The choice of beers was Doom Bar (meh) or a special from the local Wantsum Brewery called Strisselspalt. Very odd. I'm generally not that keen on Wantsum beers. They're fine but not really my kind of thing. It was the colour of a classic English best bitter, but without the flavour. It just seemed a bit insipid. Mild and sweet, and very low hop presence. Disappointing.

In other news, my dad mentioned that two of the best real ale pubs in East Kent (the Chapel in Broadstairs and the Lifeboat in Margate, both owned by the same landlord) have recently been bought out by Brewdog.

Hmmm.

I'll give anything a go, but Smokeless is probably near my tolerance for chilli in beer. I like spicy food, and I like beer, but spicy beer? Not any that I've tried up to now.

It is a bit of a thing in some pubs, so that people can decide what beer they want on its colour.

Yeah, this I think. I did take a looksie at the jars before I decided which one to go for.
