Beer?

[deptfordmarmoset]

A few days ago I left a can of one of my favourite beers of the year for my neighbour across the stairwell, along with a note.

A few days later, he wrote on the back of the paper...

Ah well, different strokes...
(It was a Fourpure Chocolate and Coconut Imperial Stout, now no longer available...)

I'm popping into M&S layer, anything good in the there just now? Beer that is, rather than pants or jumpers.

When changing trains at Lime Street it's always a good idea to make time for The Ship And Mitre

Shiver me timbers, Mossy. Now I know why the hairs on the back of my neck were up. They've got a beer shop down in Whitechapel. Used to be one here but it closed.

You can choose your friends but you can't choose your neighborsn

Buy pants and jumpers

Buy pants and jumpers

That could be the name of a sour fruity hipster beer

A Go To brewery

A bit light for my taste although the mild (Big Red) is good when they brew it. Realised this afternoon that I've been going to the King's Arms for half a century...

A hard 45 mile meandering ride to Buxton, a few beers and food, a lift home and a sleep on the sofa

Buxton Brewery Tap is good. It's a bit more genteel than the wonderfully rowdy Magic Rock but thats spa towns for you

Got there hungry and thirsty so quick pint of Grinlow which, at £3.60 was the cheapest they had. With the food had a pint of Axe X NEIPA which was bang on. Finished it off with a 1/3 of Yellow Belly which was remarkable. They have Yellow Belly Sundae next door in their sister pub...next time

I went for a pair of pants after all...

Went for the Saint Omer....

I once got stopped by the police and breathalysed coming away from a pub ( Queen Victoria?) in Saint Omer after a gig. They do like to stop foreign registration cars. After a lifetime in the UK and a couple of years in France, I've have 2 in each country. The litre bottle of Leffe was still safely stashed with the gear in the back. Catch up beer.... My general impression of Rhum, especially ''rhum agricole,'' is avoid it like the plague. It's rhuff!

Anyhow, I bagged a couple of cask Bedlam beers this evening, a Wilde (Grapefruit Pale Ale) - a good, fairly light beer but the grapefruit bit seemed too absent to play a role in the beer's description. Followed by an Amagansett APA - richer and stickier.

And while I tried to explain Bar Billiards to a Latino and a Swede, I resorted back to keg: Wantsum Ravening Wolf. It was, apparently, a New Zealand Pale Ale. Strong malts made it even stickier than the last. Drinkable but a bit strong for cycling home up Deptford High Street, because the drivers are always a bit random of a nighttime.

Not one for smoky marzens but always willing to try something different I'm going with a Moonchild Rauch Dunkel Weizen Boch. A hint of smoke with a slightly sour sweetness. Damn good, I'd get it again but it's a limited edition...

Poncy beer-with-dinner photo alert.

Firstchop SUP Session IPA. Disappointing. Not least because I was attempting to buy a stronger grapefruity affair with a similar label, and picked up the wrong can. Not much hop action, and a bit too much malt (considering there's nothing else going on to balance it). And the label design is unreadable. So basically best part of a fiver a pint for bog-standard piss-weak beer. Serves me right for being a Craft Beer Twat when I could have had a 500ml Proper Job from the supermarket over the road for about £1.70. Good salad, though, if I say it myself.

Had the Firstchop JAM Mango Pale. That was shite too - a slightly stronger version of the same thing, and nary a hint of mango. Firstchop are for the chop. Getting back on track with a trusty Basqueland/Magic Rock Chucker.

There's far too much shite on our shelves/fridges. Brew piss poor beer, give it a stupid name and some garish art work, Bob's your £3 a can uncle
