Beer?

[smutchin]

Looks fantastic! Moord en Brand Bourbon BA was one of the best beers I tried last year. I'd love to try the Muhle en Baanhof.

It looks far too good to miss. I'm going to have to do some diary-wrangling...

De Molen tasting in Canterbury on Thursday:

Don't think I'm going to be able to make it, unfortunately.

That looks fab, you'd be mental to miss it.

You'll generally only find those words in DP's sentences. It's an unsuccessful campaign in the main.

Well I wont tell you all about the Basingstoke beer riots of the 1880s then!

Ruination IPA is from Stone, btw!

Ah, so it is - my mistake. No wonder this was better...

Brewdog's latest in time for the Winter Olympics, is a double IPA with sex-enhancing Limonnik berries called 'Hello, My Name is Vladimir' and it is DEFINITELY #notforgays...

I agree. So I'm not going to miss it. My son will just have to make his own way home from rugby training!

Holy crap! Imperial gose? What is this batshit Belgian weirdness? I have never tasted anything like this. But I think I like it...

It's Dutch not Belgian and a cousin of Gueuze.

Castle Milk Stout from South Africa.

One of my semi-regular Tokyo haunts had 8 limited release beers on tap from Epic, a very interesting US brewery, so I tried a couple. First, the Elder Brett (9.3%), a golden saison that has been exposed to natural yeasts and barrel-aged. It tasted pretty much like a very good cider, but the strength was entirely hidden - all fresh green apples. 2nd was the Fest Devious Marzen (5.5%). Greman styles don't seem to get a lot of love from the modern craft beer drinker, but I love a good, rich, malty, biscuity Marzen, and this copper beer was one of the best I have had.

Woof!

Sweet mother of Christ, this is what a brown ale should taste like.

Strictly, Gose is German, but this was an idiosyncratic Belgian Dutch! take on the theme. Nothing to do with gueuze at all.

It is really special. Like nothing else I have ever tasted. I'm not sure I could drink a pint of it but it's quite sensational in small doses.
