Now I know why your forum name is Amnesia....

Great ale, I've just brewed my xmas beer for this year, hopefully will turn out about 10% and dark, plenty of roasted barley in there!

Most enjoyable weekend on the beer front; went to a small festival featuring some interesting brewers from Scandinavia, NL, Belgium and Italy, with one representative from the UK, Marble Brewery in Manchester - a very personable bunch with some really top brews.

Lots of double IPAs and imperial stouts in evidence and extreme brewing seems very much the order of the day - there was quite a number of beers of 10% and higher (26% was the highest I tried) and one Danish brewery had a beer with a theoretical 1000 IBU (Stella weighs in at something about 30 IBU). Some of it seemed a bit gimmicky, but makes a change from the more established styles.

I'll have a Stella, and a Babycham for the missus.

I tried to get a Stella once but she slapped me face!

Hope it's not too early to talk about beer!

Yesterday I had a day off from 'the grind' and walking back through town I hadn't time to visit my independent offie so I bought a bottle of IPA from M&S and I have to say it was excellent. Don't know who brews it for them but they seemed to know what they were up to.

Nearly forgot, I had a pint of St Austell's 'Proper Job' at a pub in Kingston-on-Thames on Sunday.
Very nice beer and well kept but £3.50/pint

Have just taken delivery of 8 bottles of Golden Promise. Not the worlds most exciting taste, but boy, does it go down well. Seriously drinkable.

I think St Austell's brew the M&S IPA!

Took delivery of a case of assorted gueuze today. Will probably give on a go later on.

As you're down that way - do you ever go to The Blue Anchor in Helston where they make their own beer? Nice isn't it?

You're right DP, I've just had a quick google - coincidence!
