Beer?

[MossCommuter]

This is really rather good with much more going for it than the 3.5% ABV might suggest (how accurate can that be anyway). It's the colour of straw with plenty of bitter yeasty beeriness. I don't get the apricots that the clip suggests but am not bothered.

It's got no floaty bits.

my daughter stopped me taking pics of beers as she called me a sad old man.

however on holiday i started again.

cornish beer

really nice and smooth. slightly cloudy so no finings added


the ones below are from the brewery tour of St Austell ales.

will be LOTS more pics of the bottled ones i could buy. this was nice and hoppy but not over powering.

after the previous beer this was a good light one to clean gob for the rest of the tour. almost lagery

this was the last one we tasted. originally brewed in 1981 there were a few crates lost and recent ly found at brewery when the museum was being renovated. was brewed as HSD ( Hicks Special Draught) and rebottled. for a 35 yrs old beer that has been kept in dark and cool it was stunning. tasted of christmas pudding and toffee. sadly no picture as was a bit wobbly by then having had equivalent of about 6 pints at 10am !

there were a few i didnt get pics of but will be looking out for later in year as they get bottled for christmas beer festival. bad habit at 8.2% was a good one. and there was another belgianesque one too. http://www.staustellbrewery.co.uk/beers-and-brewing/all-our-range small batch brews is what you need to look for

how many what ?

 

[subaqua]

And not taking pictures of beer makes her regard you as not sad?

she is a teenager , what do you think ?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

how many what ?

Did it cost more than £2.49?

 

[MossCommuter]

how many what ?

Beer forum currency.

One M'irlami is currently at an exchange rate of 1 to £2.39

The last one is not on sale to the GU sadly. For brewery tour only

the whole tour was £32 for 2 adults and 2 kids . you get tokens to be exchanged for samples or bottles. sampling yields more alcohol per token.

Stone IPA is the nuts!

 

[MossCommuter]

This is delish.

A bit like Wieckse Witte but not so in your face. The oranges are not sweet either. A hint of saltines too. I like this very much.

Cloudy AND salty and I like it.

The whole world's ducked up.

I like where you're coming from

The tandoori chicken that's been marinading overnight is now in the oven, time for a spiffing aperitif.

Beer store up the road has a ton of Stone stuff, any recommendations?

That was a Jennings Cumberland Ale a few minutes ago, it slipped down extremely nicely after my last day at work for a fortnight.

expect my posts to become somewhat erratic as the evening progresses
