Beer?

Allelic Drift in Left Luggage Room, Monkseaton

This is really good. Major grapefruit going on. I haven't read up on it but I can't see how they did this without addition of the actual fruit. It gives High Wire Grapefruit a run for its money and it's cask and only 1.25 Mossirlamis

It looks great but I'm uncomfortable with a beer name I had to google just to find out what it meant

Well, now that you have, you can explain all about it.

I have now googled but unfortunately none of the sites I found was in English

More commonly referred to as "genetic drift".

Oh dear, that takes me back to school...."So Nickyboy, you think you don't need to pay attention because you already know the answer do you? Why don't you explain it to the whoooooooooooole class?"

In these days of pub closures, I went to a newly opened one last night. It's a converted shop, in a parade of shops and works really well. Light and airy, high stools and sharing tables with a good selection of beers and ciders. It's run by 2 couples as a hobby at the mo but seems to have the potential to do well.

Should we be (more) worried about brewery closures?

I didn't know about Celt (a well reviewed brewer on here) stopping production

Otley, although they've still been knocking out plenty of drinkable stuff, never got their beer back to where it was before wotsisname left. Celt went from interesting to outstanding, and then suddenly tits up. Waen are a nice crowd with pleasant beers and a refreshingly unhipsterish vibe, although they were never in the league of the other two. In a way I'd rather once-great breweries folded than became run-of-the-mill. I've never quite got over Otley's soapy beer phase.

I went to an emporium of beer t'other day and, as I stood in front of the rows of bottles, thought "nah, I don't need beer..." and left.

I know, the ponce thread is >>>

Did you try the Dark Star Crème Brûlée?

I didn't but I surely will one day.
I had the Brighton Bier Mino collab. Excellent, if you like your bitters bitter.

One of mine. Pale Ale Bramling X, 7% English-ish style. Very happy with the colour, but Bramling X isn't the most dynamic hop and I used a Californian yeast strain which is a bit bland. OK, but I'd use an English ale yeast next time.

I had a shot glass of the crème brûlée in the Evening Star a couple of weeks ago. I would say that anyone who could manage more than a half without boaking it back up has the constitution of a horse.

Neigh, neigh a thousand times neigh...
I'll keep you posted on the puke front.

You'll manage it just fine.

I'm off to Hove tip, I may even pop in on the way back.

Which being the past tense of "heave" is somehow appropriate on the puke front
