By using the 'opposite of what you'd assume' method!

Collaboration between Thornbridge and Brooklyn. A Belgian ale aged in barrels with cider lees to get a secondary fermentation going.

One of the best things I've had this year. Light sour with a lovely apricot flavour.

A triumph!

Ooooh, that looks good!

A bit pricey sadly - 15 squids.

Blimey, you'd really want to like it at that price!
Treat it like a bottle of decent wine is my strategy for pricey stuff.
Oh, and share it with a like-minded ponce, whilst pontificating loudly and eruditely on the farmyard notes and hints of Madagascan vanilla...

Wiper and True DIPA, 6.8 beer with - Golden Promise and Carafe Special III malts with Calypso, Simcoe, Chinook and Mosaic hops. Not overly hoppy mind you it's not overly anything, nice but barely registering on the Yumtus Scale.

Cloudwater DIPA v8 is out. Anyone tried it yet?

Strong tasting, orange marmalade. I love it but the tap house manager is not keen.

I could drink ten but I'm not allowed to.

Even at 2.49 mossilarmis (plus 0.21 mossilarmis corkage for drinking in) it won't be on the shelf long. The pub was sent just 24 in their allocation.

There are two bottles of Serpent on the shelf too. Seriously tempted to treat myself but it's fifteen quid!! Should I?

What counts as a single visit!!

I think the serpent is a bit steep. I can sort of see why given the barrel aging, but it's still a lotta dosh for a beer

I asked.

It's "taken on a case by case basis".

In one controversial move yesterday one chap was allowed to take two because his brother, who would normally be with him, was absent. If the brother had come in later then he would not have been allowed a third.

Serious stuff.

Motivated by @DP support of one of my local enterprises I had a bottle of Buxton Brewery Wild Boar in a Manchester restaurant this afternoon

Jolly good stuff. Must be the water (which is available free in Buxton town centre so maybe I should homebrew with it)

My mistake, when last in Buxton, was to try to find a drinkable cup of coffee. My quest ended in failure but I clearly should have stuck to the water or the beer,

Cheers 3BM, I'll sleep blissfully and serenely now.
My mind had been in turmoil wondering about the largest unsupported dome roof in the world.
I've had Maradsous, Kwak and summink else which I've forgot.

It is now Buxton College that son #1 attends. It's a very impressive building

There is a free spring of Buxton water in the town centre. You see locals rolling up with innumerable jerry cans

...anyway, back to the beer
