Beer?

Beer Emporium in King Street, Bristol.

'Ullo Duchesse! The Track Moab was most excellent and very easy drinking for its 8.5% -my Hoptober is going swimmingly. I also enjoyed a Fell Rye Pale (nice blend of nuttiness and hoppinness) and a Kirkstall Black Band Porter (band on the run...I was looking forward to some Fell Robust Porter but this was a more than decent replacement ). Thanks for the tip on the Mold Alehouse, if you're over near Caernarfon/Llanberis then the Snowdonia Park tavern brew some quality beers, especially Carmen's Sutra. Heading North of the Wall, the Stockbridge Tap in Edinburgh (near Inverleith Park) has an excellent selection, from more traditional beers like Swannay Island Hopping to a Kirkstall/Verdant APA and a Damson Sour (First Ascent IIRC). Nice interior as well.

A Gower Gold, not my favourite but refreshing after a hilly hike...

My local news (UK) just did a piece on tourism. They interviewed (I think) an American, asking what have he found is the best thing about visiting England so far. His response was that he is loving English beer, especially ................... "Fosters".

Brewdog valued at £1bn, that's more than Oscar Goldman paid for Steve Austin.

Friday train beers. Wtf happened to Wylam. Was up north a couple of years ago and had a very average cask ale from them. Now they’re pushing out all these super hip on point canned brews.

And that’s a good thing. (My phone wants to correct that to good thong, but whatevs)

My local pub was doing an Earl Grey IPA earlier in the year. It was light, refreshing and with a subtle flavour of Earl Grey. I liked it. Can’t remember who brewed it, but as a little present a Mrs Dave sent away for a tray of this

I’m not much of a lager drinker. It was nice and light, reminiscent of an IPA, but not a hint of Earl Grey.

She also got a box of this

We were drinking it the other week on our wedding anniversary escape.
There is a good grapefruit taste with an aftertaste of sweet musk rose petals.

I don’t normally like Adnams beers, but this is good!

A lovely surprise at the Dog and Bell tonight: they've got Fourpure's Nightfall on keg. You can't get it at the brewery and it's probably my favourite beer of the year. My only regret is that it's 9° so too strong for much more than a pint - otherwise I'll fall off my bike on the way home.

Beer at that strength might get me back on my bike again

Strewth mate! I'm currently on a Northern Monk Mango Lassi Heathen...nicely fruity and hoppy. The mango is well balanced by the 7.2% ABV (also recommend their DDH Eyeclops pale which went down nicely with Season 3 of Nikita).

Tell me about it, I nearly choked on my Castlemaine XXXX at the time. Seriously though I wish some of the craft brewers would hold off on the Cascade/Citra/Amarillo. The price of these hops has more than doubled for us homebrewers in recent years. Very delicious though.

Hatherwood - Hop Hunter session IPA is really good, just IMVHO out of Lidl for 99p, 330ml bottle, but compared to the rip-off prices of similar sized bottles from Brewdog etc, its a bargain. I drink loads of it, best beer I've found in a cheap supermarket for ages.

Thought i'd have a change from lager or cider tonight, so picked up a small selection of bottled ales from the supermarket.

A nice Autumnal selection. Haven't had a bishops tipple for a long time, and was fortunate to have one straight off a wooden barrel at a pub in Wiltshire.
Does anyone know if Wadworth still use their horse and dray for deliveries?

5.10 and nearly finished my first pint... I love working from home....
