Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Just picked up this lovely 8 CD Sun Records set, 50 Golden Years and I'm complimenting this with a Hooky Gold.

Dang!! Many thanks to @threebikesmcginty for this one.

Sensational stuff.

How's it settled in compared to the last one? Gotta say I've not had one of these for a couple of years now. Should bust one open soon, say November/December time.

Are stouts allowed?, this is one of the nicest things I've ever drank out of a glass!.

Farkin 'ell! I was in Leeds earlier, had a few, but now in rush for the train, we went in a bar and I told my pal we only had time for 2 halves, gave him a tenner and went for a tinkle. Came back, yep, 2 halves of beer there, asked for my change and there was was none, plus he'd had to top up with a quid too. Leeds.

Ouch!, I thought £4.30 a pint was bad enough in York!.

Last Saturday I took MrsF out in the sun, no 2 beers/lagers in Leeds ever came in at less than £8.80. In Waterlane Boathouse MrsF decided to buy the drinks (whoopee), 2 lagers cost £11.40 and how I laughed........... Leeds was rammed at 6:30pm.

To paraphrase John Lydon, 'do you ever get the feeling you've been had' with all this craft beer nonsense?

Punch Bowl in York, no music licence so you can have a good chat and a decent pint at the right price!

How did you/they get it the glass with the top on?

That was just a random picture off the internet!, I think you could get the top if you poured it into the glass from a height but mine never looks like that.

If you like stout it's a lovely tastey drinking, too easy drinking to be honest at 8%!.

Was actually a very good pint as Guinness knock-offs go.

I thought it was great - the best barley wine I've drunk. Loads of complex dark fruit flavour. Sweet without being cloying.

Could be aged even more I reckon as there's no sign of any sherry like oxidation yet.

City of London is all but closed.on a Sunday so I'm drinking in the hotel.

Pint of Harviestown Bitter and Twisted which is the only decent beer they've got. Down in Laaandan all week so hopefully some better options to enjoy
