Beer?

[MossCommuter]

I have purchased a bottle of Serpent, it's being chilled now, on the boozer, for drinking tomorrow.

So, advice on consumption, @DP? is it "op gist"? Is it to be poured all at once? Or with the lees? Can I pour a glass and put it down before pouring the second one?

My first port of call this afternoon, the Post Office Vaults, New Street, Birmingham. I decided to try the Binghams Waning Crescent. Very nice.

The Wellington had it in briefly but apparently it sold out in a couple of days, so I missed it. I am not overly keen on stouts and porters but I would definitely have given it a try. Saying that I tried the Titanic Brewery Plum Porter and thought it was excellent.

Guess who was in Scotland this week? A selection of beers and another couple of bottles of single malt.

Yum, yum. Mega mossirlamis!

I'm never really sure with saison beers. Personally, I like them crystal clear and try to pour them off the guff, so try. to get as much out in the first pour. Having said that, I always drink the last bit yeast and all.

Tickety Brew Coffee Milk Stout

The coffee is on the nose and the burnt bitterness is lovely.

I won't need any tea

Tickety Brew-nice!. Their Dubbel is a particular favourite of mine. Recently I've been enjoying Allendale Galaxy Pale Ale (Brewed just with Galaxy hops.....cosmic maaaan) and Wolf (a most excellent dark ruby ale).Cheers!

I imagine the beer's very nice and all that but it's proper annoying this newspeak. "Imperial" tacked on the front of any beer name. The word "strong" works well enough.

There's a long tradition of 'imperial' being used to describe strong stout. I can see why it's been adopted for other stuff, it sounds better than 'strong' without being poncey.
