Beer?

Better finish that off before it tips over!

Friday evening at the pub with @Rickshaw Phil, Ludlow Best & Timothy Taylor’s Landlord

Smooth, chocolaty, hoppy & nutty. 4.8% - slips down a treat.

Parralax west coast IPA. It's growing on me. Subtle flavour.

The Evil Twin dark beer range is amazing, especially with Iceland Black Cherry not-Magnums.

The beer also makes lush ice-cream floats.

A new brewery to me from Nottingham - "Black Iris"

Big fruity IPA chocked full of pawpaw.

Very nice

ETA: the beer is actually "Black Iris / Turning Point Gimme Fruit Gimme Fire Give Me That Which I Papaya"

There ain't half some crazy pluckers out there! The Five Points Derailed Porter and Bristol Beer Factory Badlands Extra Pale were in good form in the Euston Tap on Tuesday. I really wanted to try the Porcini Sour from Chorlton, but my train was leaving in 10 minutes so that would have been pushing it a bit. Aweel and aweel as they say North of The Wall.

4 bottles of Everards Tiger waiting for me at home... Excellent

I heard they were also changing the name to Magic XXXX

 

[Crackle]

So next time we ride there, we'll all have to stop and say, hey I can see the brewery from 'ere.

There's an inevitability about these transactions. The big brewers aren't really brewers, they are marketing and distribution companies. The small brewers are great at brewing beer but useless at the marketing and distribution.

One hopes they continue to exist in Huddersfield and not somewhere more difficult for me to cycle to/train home

So, who next?

Meanwhile, I've had a bad case of the flu but I felt so fever-free this afternoon that I managed to cycle over to Deptford, where I had a very good Wander Beyond Rising Embers. It's a great porter.

Apparently, the owner of a well-known uk craft brewer was seen entering the premises of fourpure recently for a meeting with Lion execs!
