Beer?

[MossCommuter]

Here it is in all its magnificence!

It's like nothing I've had before. More reminiscent of French cider than British or Belgian beer. Fruity sharp, not sour. Chardonnay oak (like that Innis&Gunn beer whose name I forget but better). Bitterness is subtle but developing as the beer warms a bit.

Thanks for the recommendation, @DP, at more than decent prosecco prices this is an occasional treat but I'm glad i tried it.

What's next?

As far as DP's concerned that's session.

I've was in Switzerland all week and didn't really drink v much. Had an afternoon 12%er yesterday and fell off my bike outside the supermarket.

Still, better than flinging yourself in the canal.

I'm giving it a like even though it has all the ingredients of being right poncey.

I've had a Hooky Flagship to compliment a traditional Sunday lunch (curry), no pics though.

I have just chucked the contents of a bottle of Tempest "something" (which looked dark, but I cannae remember what it was called) in with some steak for a stew.

Aldi, 99p each.

The IPA is worth what I paid for it, whereas the porter is spot on, although after a few pints it might get a bit sickly.

There seem to be loads of these this year. Local lads Beerdock have one, and Saveur Biere have their "Beery Christmas" one (the first one I heard about this year) which is nicely designed.

Tonight I've mostly been drinking Scottish beer.

http://www.caledonianbeer.com/beer/autumn-red/ - and one pint of something whose name I can't recall but was something to do with a Scottish terrier and was branded with the pub's own name (Albany, Guildford).

Neither beer helped my team with the pub quiz, in which we came spectacular second from bottom. I blame variously my ex-PA, who organised and whose team won (they must have seen the questions before), my colleague who thought that Leicester Forest East was the first service station in the UK (he ignored me when I said Watford Gap) and the question setters who were rather too interested in pop music and pop culture.

Nothing to do with me,of course....
