Beer?

[Daddy Pig]

Some sad news from down these parts as Tuckers Maltings in Newton Abbot are due to close permenantly in October after 187 years. They are only one of a handful of companies who floor malt in the traditional method.

It would appear so!
My 4 year old daughter said I've got a bigger belly than the 'fat controller' cheeky get... So I'm currently on a go beer slow diet... One a week is the aim but that means I can spend a bit more... Might even be able to afford Cloudwater!

Doc says the occasional beer won't kill me so I've done the same as you and spent a bit more. Bought a case of Durham Brewery Imperious stout which I'll drink over the next two winters. Going to nip down there this afternoon for a case of Bishop's Chalice (it's like a Belgian tripel) and that will last me the rest of the summer.

Just remembered Adrian - is he still missing too?

I like the Durham beers but rarely available down these parts. I may have to look at a direct order but I had the feeling they only delivered locally last time I looked. The imperious stout is great though!

I think Adrian is another Mia...

Am off to the Thurrock Beer festival tonight, I have a feeling I won't be in a fit state to take photos let alone give a coherent review of anything ...

How many of those are you going to 'sink' tonight?

How many of those are you going to 'sink' tonight?

May have one before I depart, however... Red Fox, Surrex Gold.. Pink grapefruit and peaches apparently.. Rather lovely.

Speaking of MIAs, has the old lush been on here lately?

Brick Dry Hopped sour. I got closer to this because it was only a half....

The pump clip reads like a Who's Who of modern British brewers

A new style from Marble, an IPA. Not an onion soup (the manager's words, not mine)

It's really rather good
