Beer?

[rich p]

Just had a couple of days up north. Some good beers, some not so good. Tried a 'thirds' in the Charles Cotton where I spent a happy couple of hours with @theclaud last year. The outer two Whim ales were the pick. Light and zesty.
The Thirsty Blood, in a Youlgreave boozer, was rich and suitably hibernal.

Ferry beer!

Kernel pale ale. A few years ago this would have been a decent beer, but things have moved on and sadly Kernel haven't.

Cloudwater, Magic Rock (Inhaler) and Beavertown ((Lupuloid) are all producing super juicy pale ales which look the part whilst Kernel is still knocking out ersatz west cost style stuff which looks like home brew.

The darker stuff is still dependably excellent and the Table Beer is a great session ale, but the pale ales just don't cur it anymore.

The Black IPA was good when I tried it at the Euston Tap last month-agree with you that the others are most excellent though!

What did you think of the Euston Tap? I thought it a dingy little place last time I went in so last time I was at the station I went in the Doric Arch which is much better inside than it looks from the outside

Have we had this one before? Apparently Lidl have it on offer at the moment. It's yellow and tastes of straw and caramel, or so I hear.

About 4 or 5 pages back, there was only a predictive review though, "pish" iirc.

Scenario 1 : A man drinking beer and reading a kids book.

Scenario 2 : A kid reading a book and drinking a mans beer.

Scenario 1, kid1 insisted I read it, glad I did, it's an extremely good book, even for grown ups.

Anyway the beer isn't mans beer, women can drink it too!

It is a very good book, i missing having books like that around the house as much as i miss the actual kids.

I had a pint of Pilsner Urquell and a half of Meantime Yakima Red in a short after-work session with a friend who was offering good advice.

Is it wrong that in the circumstances I preferred the Pils?

Not at all. They're both crap...
