Stopped at the Beer Emporium after watching the sprint at the ToB, and had a half of this.

I'm surprised that it's described as a bitter, as it seemed very pale ale to me. A mixture of citrus and peppery hops, as I remember, very tasty and refreshing. The brewer seems to have an interesting range, and I'm looking forward to trying more of their offerings.

Mrs M was at work, sadly - I think though, knowing her tastes, and being somewhat familiar with the complexities of her rating system, Drummer Boy would have scored a "Very Nice".

I'll start the roll bawling.

Well done! I got 12, although I freely admit to a lot of guesswork.

 

[MossCommuter]

13 for me

 

[nickyboy]

Mostly guesses based on the more idiotic sounding the name, the more likely it was to be real

 

[smutchin]

I've drunk all of them, even the ones that aren't real.

13. I had only heard of 2 of them.

 

[Crackle]

a guestasstic 14. I should have got the cat one and the fusty suds one, so in fact, 16. I got 16.

Let's face it, it's a shite quiz

Let's face it, it's a shite quiz

How else could I have nailed 16/20?
I got the one wrong that asked if 'Crackles Dog' was a lager or a biter...

I was congratulated warmly for guessing ....errr.... getting 11/20. Which is as near as makes no difference the score I would have got by completely guessing rather than almost completely guessing.

I managed 11/20
