Beer?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

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.

Bugger, I thought it was some kind of new-fangled free beer scheme. I'll not pack my bags to move southwards then...

Well, I reckon you could sneak a sip of two if you wanted. Goodness knows how long they have been there though.

They'd probably taste like that beer I had in the unmentionable bar.

I should have known when I leaned over the bar to inspect the pump label and espied the barman was wearing his belly over his shorts and sandals. I'm a bit crap at warning signs though.

A strange thing to do, put beer in jars. Smacks of buying hats based on colour rather than style.

Hats can always be bought on being black.

I seem to have found another use for this:

If ever eyebrows said "chilli beer?"

Two things. Firstly, there is such a thing as good chilli beer.

Secondly, there is a thing in Mexico called a Michelada, which involves lime and chilli and salt and beer. Mexican beer is so bad that you might as well do this with it when the sun is shining. It's not sophisticated, but it's all good.

Naturally, I am saving the Delftse Bier for a serious occasion. Except for this small piece of quality control. Yumtus.

"Yumtus". Is that all? We expect more from a woman with the soul of Chekhov on her window sill.

Hoppy Friday!

(It's not bad but doesn't really live up to the billing, tbh)

Quick half of Pig & Porter Mango Saison while I wait for my 'taxi'. Blimey, this is really good. The mango gives it a nice hint of fruitiness but it's not at all sweet, has a lovely tangy kick. Cor!

Damn this is a lovely beer. It didn't even touch the sides.. and I only had one bottle. On to Doom Bar, Hobgoblin or Whitstable Bay next..

Cwrw Haf (Tomos Watkins, 4.2% abv)

Lovely stuff this. Given the name, I was expecting a mildly hoppy gold. It is light, and surprisingly fizzy, but it has a nice bready backbone and a decent belt of dry refreshing hops. At 4.2 I reckon it's a bit strong for a session, but it's a well implemented take on an easy drinking, refreshing beer. Ideal for Haf.

Mrs M says: "Very nice."

This one?

I liked it but I wouldn't drink it all evening.

Fantastic beer. And it really does smell and taste of frazzles.

It is though basically a larger.

Well, it's a long time since I've poured a beer down the sink cos it's undrinkable but that German smoky thing went down the gurgler

I was suckered in by the smoky bacon story but it turned out to be like a beer and bacon smoothie. Tasted awful and smelled worse. How anyone can drink that stuff is beyond me
