Beer?

[deptfordmarmoset]

I have a bit of a dilemma. I know this is a beer thread but I reckon there's a case for allowing hopped mead as one of my one a days? Hopped, so it's simply a way of luring non-beer drinkers into BEER. And served on tap, like a BEER. Honeyed, pretty sweet and light on the hoppiness. Gosnell's - a Peckham outfit.

So beer people, can I class it as a new beer? I've looked for the mead thread but couldn't find it.....

I don't get it

The teen and I and @Skuhravy went to a most splendid Jeffrey Lewis and Los Bolts gig last night, and the venue had Roosters Yankee on tap. Well, it would have been rude to say no... A touch cloudy (we got the last couple of pints I reckon) but blooming tasty.

Then I had another pint of something else but (forgive me comrades for I have sinned) I don't actually know what it was apart from nice 'cos I didn't go to the bar and Jeffrey was playing something loud when I was handed it...

Hopefully there are enough MPs who like good beer not to let this happen...

This is very different... Had it maturing for a few months...

On second inspection I love it!

If you're down that there London, Cloudwater is on its way:

Saison from Alvinne. Decent enough. Quite a clean one. Biut disappointing lack of gush - Alvinne used to be famous for surprising unsuspecting barpeeps.

Very warm walk into the village today.
This hit the spot.

More from Alvinne. Aged on Sauternes barrels. Woody vanilla all over this. Delish.

You’ve got a tap takeover coming up?

3 new ones for me.

Hop Star Chilli Beer. A solid bitter with a mild hint of chilli that builds as you booze without taking over. Enjoyable.

A VOG (Vale of Glamorgan - I had to ask) Lady of Liberty. It was sitting there right next to the Slater'sTop Totty. Another bitter, slightly more rounded in taste than the Hop Star.

Finally, a Dow Bridge Ratae'd (I just pointed at the pump, it seemed the easier option), a Leicestershire bunch. Fairly dark beer that likes to do a fruit and malt tap dance in the middle to back regions of the palate. Their site says it has a bittersweet finish. I say it has a sweetbitter finish.

I tried to be a proper nobber and post this whilst flying but thankfully the plane WiFi wasn't up to it

A semi decent plane beer. Wonders never cease

I got 40 pints of Irish Stout brewing in the man shed.

Does your shed have a penis?

I think he just means it's the shed where he keeps the men.
