Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Not bad for 75p. Might have the other half for breakfast.

The beer?

Where is the green element?

I ate the rejected seedlings I thinned out in the greenhouse whilst the pizza was in the oven.

The beer?

No - I think an approximate 1:3 food to beer budget ratio is sensible.

 

[Crackle]

A pint of 360 project Gemini pale ale. Pointless to say whether or not it is good though, which it was, because they change the hop pairings brew to brew, so it is not really the same beer.

Plate!

 

[theclaud]

Not complaining. The crispy egg and the shredded ham hock croquet were such bonus additions to a cheese ploughman's, that the plate issue was as nought.

Crispy egg?? Ham hock croquette??? Posh picallilli???? Caperberries????? Where is that??????

 

[theclaud]

No - I think an approximate 1:3 food to beer budget ratio is sensible.

Ooops. I just messed up my budget by having another beer.

I was hoping it would be a Stone Brewing ale, so I could, rather wittily say, people in glasshouses shouldn't drink stones...

...or summink

I don't mind setting 'em up, but this smacks of desperation.

Thwaites 13 Guns-Hoppy American style IPA. Went down very nicely with my chicken satay.
North Union IPA-Nice to see this one again...the hoppinness hits you like a Stallone or Schwarzaneggar punch (I'm enjoying it while watching 'Escape Plan') And it's from God's own Country!
Panda Frog Project Red Panda-Hah so Red Panda you have gleat wisdom with a touch of malty fruitiness.
Mondo Brewing Kemosabe Pale Ale-Focus Kemosabe!Hoppy but won't leave you feeling like you've just gone the distance with Dolph Lundgren. A good session ale.
Madog's Ale-Nicely rounded bitter from Purple Moose (the Welsh football fans aren't feeling bitter though).
Rooster's Baby Faced Assassin-another fine IPA from White Rose Country. I'd definitely try this one again , especially as I can now buy it locally (Tweedies sometimes have Roosters on tap as well).
Siren Liquid Mistress IPA- a good mix of maltiness and hoppiness, even if it's probably not an authentic IPA.
And Union Beast Of The Deep- Traditional Bavarian wheat beer-das ist gute scheise meinen herren und damen. Packs a punch though...wheat wheat!
Flying Dog raging Bitch-Like a cross between a saison and an Imperial IPA-winner!My 2 favourite styles in 1 beer;possibly Flying Dog's best yet IMO.
Tried over several weeks...

Surely it's Peroni that goes with pizza?

 

[srw]

Some places give a choice, Peroni or Moretti.

Pizza Express has two kinds of Peroni, and Honeydew.

Give over...

Mama Knows Best from a local-ish brewery in Bexhill - where dead people go to limbo.
I'm setting the bar quite low there...
...blimey, that works on so many levels

Malty trad bitter but nicely hopped with mosaic. Lots of small bubbles.

Down the local 'spoons for w'tea with son#2

Happy surprise number 1....it was "steak night" so I had the 14oz Aberdeen Angus and it was jolly good

Happy surprise number 2....the steak was £10 and included a free pint

Happy surprise number 3...They had Thornbridge Jaipur on draught

I don't think I've had Jaipur before. Not your typical modern IPA...golden coloured creamy head. In a way it reminded me of an extra alcoholic Boddingtons (the original Strangeways stuff, not the modern abomination)
