Beer?

Or the background corset

As feminist liberations go, putting your corset into the background seems rather less radical than burning your bra.

And drinking Teme valley beer is positively mainstream in a post-Housman, post-Gurney world. (http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc=D_CDH55187)

What the ****? Have you moved into a mediaeval longhouse and taken up a new life as a neolithic hunter-gatherer? I can't make any other sense of the open rafters, the antlers on the table and the bone beer-stirrer.

You don't approve of my alterations to Château Claud, then?

You mean the tardisisation? I'm sure that the last time I saw it it was a little less palatial.

Yes it's got a whole lot bigger. And more remote.

Brussels Beer Project Delta IPA

The bar tender / beer buyer says it's his new favourite

The nose is good, very promising. The carbonation is very fine exploding in the mouth to a marshmallow froth you might not expect from the pour. Clear as a bell, bronze brown.

Other than that, it's a fairly well accomplished nondescript bitter, hoppy IPA. At £4.10 (drink in price) it's too dear; at three quid I'd be happy.

@MossCommuter what is the whisky? Now there is a subject worthy of its own thread!

Whisky was fifteen year old Springbank but, sssshhh, or we'll be banished

Burro de Sancho, Spanish dark ale. Not bad, malty and cocoa. Who knew the dagos could brew beer? Am I allowed to say that...

BA barley wine from DeMo. I'd heard good things about this one and wasn't disappointed. Superb.

Green Flash Tangerine IPA-nice and hoppy y'all with a subtle hint of tangerine dreams in the background...oranges are big in Florida (a Miami vice).
Buxton Patersbier-everyone needs a nice blonde in their lives (this one's in a Belgian style).
Fell Brewery Simcoe OPA- a nice subtle one, not as brash as some US IPAs (you can't Trump that) but well worth a punt. I'm really looking forward to trying the Cloudwater Islay barrel aged Imperial stout and the DIPA V11. It was Valentine's day yesterday but Gose before ho's so to speak!

Read the label before you tell me which way the Crackers Thread lies. That means you, McGinty. And you, Mossy.

There's a lot of crackers threads at the moment.
