Beer?

So long Posh Stu

My "local" is now 200 miles from home. Draft House, Seething Lane, Tower Bridge

I hate cucumbers with a vengeance. The only vegetable (fruit?) I can't abide. So the chance to try a Cucumelon Sour from Adnams was too much to resist. Would it still taste of the worst vegetable (fruit?) on the planet or would it somehow transmogrify into a delicious beer?

It still tasted of cucumber. Meh

If you are not a fan you can always Email adnams with feedback... and tell them where to shove it...

We cremated Posh Stu yesterday; you might remember him lurking in the background of the odd photograph on the beer thread.

He died a couple of weeks ago, one or two of you asked after him on the Llandudno weekend.

Photo was taken at the wake in his fave Spoons

Cheers Posh Stu

Kona Hanalie, IPA, hoppy. Perfect after a hot dog walk.

Did Posh Stu know he'd graced the pages of cc, Mossy? Now a sadder place without his anticipated background appearance.

He knew it and he revelled in it. Many of his appearances were posed to an accompaniment of "Oh, Mossy, STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW"

RIP Posh Stu, I'll have one for him tonight.

Sunny weather beer

No beers to add to the list tonight - taking things a bit easy at the moment - but Radio4's You and Yours programme today had a very little wander into double pale ales today. I'm just notifying you that there was BEER ON THE RADIO! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b39v3s 22 minutes in.....

Double dang!! Proper grown up beer.

ISTR spotting that in the fridge at the Hanging Bat in Embra ( a most excellent establishment, make sure you visit it if you're in that fair city) last month. Track Sonoma is one of my favourite session pale ales as well and I'm dying to get my hands on a bottle of the Grand Cuvee. Burning Sky are one of those breweries who turn out consistently good stuff IMO!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Hitched up to the wagon again tonight and my first, a Redchurch Bethnel Pale, was such a wonderfully refreshing pale that I was wondering why I'd been away from the ale for almost a whole 3 days. Anyhow, lightly grapefruited flavours, light on the bitterness and, all in all, dilìshuz plus.

Followed by a Wild Beer Bibble Pale. Rather in the same vein, with a tad more hoppiness and a smidgen less grapefruit. Yet more good beer rehabilitation medication. I'll rate it dilìshuz minus.

The beer a day calculator makes today 28 June. A planned trip to Partizan brewery tomorrow could bring in July.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Fully intending to go to Partizan Brewery, I first got to a place I'd never heard of before: Affinity Brew. Well, as it was there under the Bermondsey brewery arches and so was I, I had to give it a try. Their Social Seduction IPA was a full on West coast style IPA, rich, fruity and flavoursome but slightly bitterer than my favourites. But good enough to try another: Breeze, they'd called it - a golden saison with a strong taste of lime. The description mentioned coriander too but this was so minimal and of the ground seed kind, I'd not have noticed it without reading their beer list. It also had that hop that Brockley Brewery seems fond of, which makes me think of apples.

There's 2/3rds of an Affinity trinity for you.
