Beer?

View attachment 650741 Portobello Brewery - Stiff Lip IPA. Served well chilled on the lawn of Hampton Court Palace whilst awaiting the start of a Crowded House concert. Very nice.

I'm going to Crowded House in Manchester on Thursday. Hoping the beer is up to scratch!

Mango and Prickly Pear Sour, Northern Monk. It's more sweet than sour but it's also very hoppy. A bit "sour meets DIPA."

I've tried to like sours but they don't suit my taste buds. I've recently returned to the dark side, Zia which I discovered in Tesco World Beers is a splendid " Tiramisu Stout from London Brewing Company. Our local Brewery, Eight Arch who are based in Wimborne recently released a barrel aged stout " Hiding Behind Shadows " The " regular " Shadows is 8.9%, the Special edition is 10.6% or thereabouts.

This sour really isn't very sour and it's far more beer-like than most. It's more a fruited IPA/DIPA.

My memory may be playing tricks, but I have a vague recollection of reading that you were one of the NM Patrons subscription. This beer was part of last month's ''Access all Areas'' remodelling of the Patrons/Brethren subs. Have I got you confused?

No, that’s me. We dropped out of the Patrons project, a lot of the beers were too strong for Mrs Tenkaykev. We still buy from them on an ad hoc basis, there’s some excellent low alcohol beers ( striding edge? @ 2.9%) for example.

2nd tasting of A&H's London Black at a new micropub near me. I still think it tastes like a nitro mild.

Northern Monk have produced a Lassi Heathen trio. I'm starting on the passion fruit one in the middle

I bought a few cans of “ Striding Edge “ it’s 2.8% but nevertheless full bodied and flavoursome.

Last night's passion fruit was super tangy, tonight it's a strawberry and cream Lassi

So much vanilla that it tastes of custard.

Tiny rebel easy livin. 4.3% nice and refreshing, not so on the wallet.

Well I finally cracked open a can of “ Hiding behind Shadows “ the barrel aged version which is 10.6%. Very rich, sumptuous is a good description.

After a night drinking warm cask beer in a Deptford pub (Vocation, Howling Hops, Vocation) I thought I'd have a sauna beer but it turned out that the beer was having a sauna all to itself.

More lager than IPA, to be honest
