Beer?

[smutchin]

Heh. I'd better put one aside for you because I have a feeling these 40 bottles aren't going to last very long...

Wowsers, outstanding!

I have got to get me some of that hubba bubba

Transferred the Xmas brew to the barrel yesterday. Had to have a small taster, of course, just to check it's ok... Bloody hell! It's good stuff, if I say so myself. Reminds me a bit of the Courage Directors that I used to sup in large quantities as a youth.

I know it will be even better when I've given it a few weeks to condition and clear, but I could happily drink the lot right now.

Trapped in a hotel room in Fife, the wifi doesn't stretch as far as this end of the flop house so I've had to throw myself at the mercy of 3G! The heating appears to be stuck on full blast, the room is hotter than a glass blowers armpit. There are however compensations, I've discovered the nearby Aldi has a large selection of Scotchish beer, I'm not here for long enough to try it all without getting really pissed for the next 3 nights so I'm trying to gauge the best ones. First up is a dark ale called Kessog from the Loch Lomond Brewery, really nice clean beer, subtle malty flavour, quality stuff - I could get more from it given a real glass but as they only have plastic tumblers here I'm swigging from the bottle!

Isn't there a lounge you can loaf around in surreptitiously swigging?

Just been trying some Westmalle Trappist beer mmm-silence is golden and so is the beer!

I'm off to the pub for a selection of Harveys, Palmers and whatever guest beer they have on tonight. Of which more later.

Don't have too many, you'll come back all opinionated.

Usually 4 plus a nightcap Ed!
I am more mature now DP but a timely reminder!

As the great Morrissey said, "I drank one,or was it four,and when I drank more I fell on the floor"...

4 plus a Glenlivet. Hey ho. All Harveys - why choose anything else!

If they have anything from the Black Isle Brewery, I recommend it.

Good to see Scotchish beers going through something of a revival after the dark S&N years.

3 for a fiver - no idea - never had any of them. If I don't like them I'll drink the ketchup

One down two to go (it's not pink in real life)
