Beer?

That's just the way rate beer/beer advocate classify it, but it does give an accurate impression!

There's a Belgian brewer makes stuff with garlic. I'll look it up when I get home, but its not great.

More pumpkin beer: Mashing Pumpkins from Jopen.

.

Isn't that where Flying Monkey lives?
I went on a pub crawl with another esteemed member of the forum last Thursday and ended up drinking 7 or so pints in some of Brighton's finest town centre boozers.
Harveys Best (of course), Gales HSB, Laines Brewery Best and I forget the rest in a blur.
BTW, I ended up with a UDI* from which I am still suffering.

Delinquents like you don't deserve the NHS.

I understand "Curious" has now to change it's name to "Ringmaster" due to a copyright infringement.

I've seen the Curious stuff in Waitrose, IPA and porter I think, I'm always lured away by the Thornbridge though.

Mashing Pumpkins....Lmso! My sister lives just round the corner from the Cave in Glesca, so hopefully they'll have some of those beers you've just been talking about [oops, havering]...overheard an amusing bit of blether between one of the staff in Quel Vin [also a vg shop] just up the road and some, um. old school Glaswegians a while back-just a few crossed wires there..

I tried a couple of pints of that with my gay mate last week - I was bi-curious.

Bi-PA ?

I believe that the late weekend shifts at A&E call such freak accidents "PUFO"s


Pissed up fell over.

Very best wishes for a swift recovery, Rich.

Blimey. Stopped in at the Bottle Shop for a quick one on the way home and after a discussion with the nice young lady at the bar plumped for a Bristol Beer Factory Ultimate Raspberry Stout.

File under WTF.

It's bloody amazing.

In a good way.

Local boozer has announced a De Struise evening on Sunday. Quite a good looking line-up..

On tap:
Tjeeses, Tjeeses Reserva, Motuecha and Black Albert

Bottle:
Svea IPA, Ypres, Roste Jeanne, Witte, Pannepot, Tjeeses 2013 and Tjeeses Reserva

By the way, @Delftse Post - they had a couple of De Molens on tap but I eschewed them because they were both 8.5% and I didn't want anything quite so strong... Of course, the raspberry stout turned out to be 7.5%. Doh!

Also had a taste of the Evil Twin Yin, an Imperial stout designed to complement the Yang IPA in a black & tan. Quite something, though I'm not sure it's one I'd want to drink a whole bottle of by itself. I'd be interested in trying it with the Yang though...

@smutchin

Just had a look at their bottle list - v impressive. Some really obscure stuff - amazed to see Dochter van de Korenaar's Extase Double IPA. That's a really good Belgian-style IPA. Some interesting Dutch bottles - Emelisse's Espresso Stout and Rooie Dop's Utrecht Strong Ale, along with the De Molens.

Good selections from Alvinne, To Ol and Troubador and shed loads of Mikkeller!

 

[smutchin]

Oh yes, always an impressive selection. It's the only place I've ever seen Rodenbach Grand Cru in stock. And for anyone who knows their beer, that's always going to be a good sign.

Kick off the w/e with a touch of the DT's - it's frothy man!
