SIBA have announced the winners of its Scottish competition;

http://www.siba.co.uk/events/regional-competitions/scotland/2016-2

Overall winner is "Island Hopping", by Swannay (not one I know).
Seems that they like the Swannay Brewery! Well done to the Drygate guys on Bronze - I recommend a visit to anyone in Glasgow.

Does Lady Osis know this?

Re: the Aldi stuff: the porter is a great pudding - brilliant value and agree with steph's comments. I also like the citra one... 'All 4 One' , which was described as a 'lager', malty, citrus with a touch of honey (yeah - I know, it sounds like a pen picture of most of the characters on here :rolleyes: ). Maybe I was just thirsty, but it was decent.
And, at approx 0.42 Mossirlamis a bottle it is verging on the Mr Kipling..."Exceedingly good value".
The American IPA is 5.0%. the Red Rye 4.7% and the lager beer 4.5% 'Coffee Pudding' comes in at 4.5% and is probably the first Brains beer I have drunk since playing rugby in Cardiff and drinking at 'The Duke of Boots'...the days of Brains Dark...ahhhh. :whistle:
Don't use your head, use your brains...:okay::cheers:
 
What it says on the tin. Caramelly, chocolatey nose. Nice carbonation, mild chocolate and caramel notes, bit thin for a porter, not picking up the coffee, not quite my thing but it's not unpleasant and I've had far worse.

I've been working on a treatment for a new reality TV show. I'll tell you like cos I know you won't tell anyone else.

It's called "get ahht o' my pab' and that's the catch phrase (to be voiced by my mate's mum and if she's not available then we'll get Babs Windsor to do it).

It's set in a Wetherspoons and everyone in it is a real regular.

It involves covert cameras listening into the usual pub politics and schemes and there's a weekly life bar for one regular, as voted by everyone else, to the strains of Aileen's Pompey tones shouting "get ahht o'my pab' (natch).

That's about as far as we got with it.

It's a vehicle for Aileen more than anything but I'm sure channel 5 will pay millions for it.

You heard it here first.

What is the budget?
I envisaged it as pretty much self funding. My mate's got an iPhone with a decent camera and Aileen works for Chardonnay.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Happy International Gose Day everyone!

(Said Petroc Trelawney on the radio this morning, as he suggested that his listeners might be partial to a pint - or a half-litre first thing.)


[edit]
Or rather Happy International Happy Gose Day
