Arran Brewery Dug, IPA
Plain blue cappage, dark straw in colour, smells bitter and hoppy, tastes similar but with depth, slight caramel but overall, good, very good and well needed after a hot, slow 35 miles in which it took me half an hour to sort out a jammed chain on Mrs C's bike.
If you're sensing an Arran theme your senses are all tuned up right.

A couple from Mrs M and I's trip into Sandbach today.
We lunched at the Glasshouse, where I had a bottle of Einstok Pale Ale (Einstok Olgero, 5.6% abv).
It was a roasting hot day, and the beer was served far too cold (but warmed up quickly in the sunshine). Not well liked on the beer review sites this one, although I found it an ok pale, the expected bitter hops (orange peely, with a touch of floral) and a slight, underlying earthiness. Mrs M had a Hoegaarden, an excellent choice from the selection available for this weather, I thought.
We took an afternoon tea of sorts at The Beer Emporium. I had a Castle Black Stout (Merlin, 4.4%) which I liked a lot - the coffee and smoke you'd expect from a stout, a touch of rich fruit, and a nice bitter finish to keep it all from being too overwhelmingly rich; good stuff, and from a local brewer too. Mrs M had a Peche of some sort (2%ish) which she declared to be very nice, and tried (unsuccessfully) to persuade the server to sell us the rather fetching Lindemans glass it was served in. I think more beer shops should let you drink as you browse their wares, personally. We left with four bottles including the Cloudwater above.
