People don't wash their hands...Why do pub peanuts taste better than the ones from the shop?

I love this! On the cusp of vinegar sour but holding it right at the edge of fruity, cherry maybe

You see - this is the sort of erudite stuff that keeps me coming back to the Beer thread time and again.The smoked brown is [...] really is smoky. And brown.

As far as I'm concerned, nuts should be contained only within sweaty cycling jocks...Yuk, I don't eat public nuts!

A selection from the Lidl craft beer range.
Will make a start on them tomorrow, but surely I can't go wrong at 99p each?
Just what I need after a tough day being a bastard.
The big red T is everywhere! However, you can usually get Caledonian Deuchars IPA and Belhaven Best in most places IME. Two of my go to beers when I lived in Oban were Fyne Ales Jarl (hoppy session pale) and Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted (amber ale). The likes of Fallen, Cross Borders , Stewart and Alechemy do some fine ales as well, which may well make it down to Hawick way. Great Corby and Carlisle Breweries, along with Allendale may also make it North of the Wall every now and then. I live in Penrith and we have lots of good pubs in the area, but if you want a more adventurous beer selection then you've got Dockray Hall and the Fell Bar (the latter is my usual watering hole).I live about 3 miles from Tempest so shouldn't really complain...
However there is a lack of alternatives and there are a growing number of "meh" beers when I have gone exploring.
And pubs here sell lager, lager and lager. Big breweries dominate in Scotland, especially in small towns.
Fierce beers up in Aberdeen seem a very capable brewer. I've only had a couple of their sours but they did them well. Seemed to me that they were a fairly uncompromising bunch with no fear of flavour.
I have got to get me some of that!Talking of Scottish beers, I'm just trying this little bad boy from speyside...

The
Serious chocolate on the nose and initial taste, ending with a long smooth finish. Most excellent and hides the 9% tag so very easily!
Had this a while ago, was fab... So Included it in a box of fruit and sours that has just turned up from Beerwulf... Will have to exercise some restrain...
