Beer?

[Dave 123]

Slightly off topic Rich, but looking at getting some tickets for the Gent 6 days.

Are the tickets in the middle any good would you say or is it better to get seated tickets?

Mrs Dave is talking of visiting the Gent 6 day in the future....

Definitely get the seated tickets The middle standing area is difficult to see much of the racing and is very crowded. We failed to get Sunday tickets again but are going on Friday and Saturday. Get in quick, they're gold dust these days

Could only get seated tickets for the first evening!

First of the session: a pint of Goose Willis at Brew York's beer hall. Labelled as a gooseberry fool sour it's a fruity little number. Bloke on the wall doesn't seem to approve...

Liked but <unlike>.
It's got so popular in recent years. We tried for Sunday within an hour of ticket sales coming online. I suspect travel operators are involved.

A smokey, chipotle fueled Mexican molé imperial stout from Magic Rock. Wow - in a good way but a sharp chill smack mightn't suit everyone.

Brew York's Rhubarbra Streisand IPA is a bit of a disappointment. While the Goose Willis tastes of gooseberry, I'm getting more cherryade and Parma Violets . The Coke can on the wall has no need to feel jealous...

I've had Fierce sours before and they were excellent so I thought I'd try a Split Shift, which is an American-style IPA. It's not two halves bad.

Tonight I have been researching braggots, courtesy of a delivery of Siren beers. Braggots, for the uninitiated, are somewhere between beer and mead, mixing honey with malt and adding hops to counteract the honey's sweetness. They also tend to be very strong in alcohol . . .

Anyhow, the two beers on the right are braggots (sampled between 3 to prevent fall over home going events).
They're sweet, they're strong
Not light, not wrong.

I did but overshot Leeds and ended up in York. From the hotel room I could see the BrewYork brewery and even get their wi-fi signal....Leeds might have to wait till a gloomy day in February.

Business, innit?

If your name was 3beersfuller, not 3BM, and a jap chap came along and offered you 250 million squids, would you say no?
