Beer?

[User169]

De Molen this evening. Pale ale hopped with Amarillo, so a good dollop of citrus, but then aged in oak with brett to give a bit of sourness. Nice stuff and reasonably low on the alcohol front.

Typical Flying Monkey elitism

Very amusing. It clearly affected my English-writing abilities.

Had a drink at lunchtime for once - a couple of hand-pulled glasses of Mariage Parfait geuze - nicely sour and sharp, with just the right amount of sweetness as well. The perfect summer beer..

I had one of those in my last batch of Belgian beers, it was my first lambic and I didn't really enjoy it, just a bit too sour for me, might try a couple of differents ones to see if lambics are worth persuing. I managed to take the taste away with a Rochefort Trappiste 10 which is probably my favourite.

I've been in small town Pyrenees for 5 days and the only choices avaialble in the local bars were George Killians Red and Leffe brun as a change from the generic pression. France has many wonderful qualities but good beer is harder to find than holy water.

Picked up a couple of these from Marks and Spencer, I was only checking their beer nothing else although the taupe slacks did look very comfy. It's another Adnams beer, looks like a barley wine style beer, small bottle and 7.2. - going to give one a try tonight, interstesting!

I've been mostly drinking the following over the last 2-3 weeks.

Alhambra 1925 Reserva from Spain
Cruzcampo from Spain
Krombacher Pils from Germany
Kaiserdom Pils from Germany
Quilmes Lager from Argentina (also available in Tesco in litre bottles)

That Krombacher stuff hurts my head. As does Cruzcampo.

I have decided I just can't do beer at all any morev(or at least not very often). Even half a pint of lager makes me wake up in the night and feel fuzzy the next day. Shame, but not the end of the world.

Looking forward to a couple of these this evening.

Ten mile round route to my local country pub this evening, will see what real ales they have on offer, usually 3 or 4 different ones on tap every week, then it's only a mile back home :-)

Trappist for me too - I'm on the Orval tonight. I was obviously getting a bit excited at the prospect as I tried to log into CC as "Orval" instead of "Origamist".

Orval is very fine!
