Beer?

Anyway, the Crofters' Pale Ale is very nice, and went very well with the steak and chips.

That's traveling in style, have you tried Zundert yet @Delftse Post?

Tried it once. Pretty good. There's also the new Trappist in the US now. - Spencer.

From the look of it I doubt that will ever make it over here.

Skull Splitter also gets a , very tasty and not at all "alcoholy" despite being 8% - next up Black Hawk; which is failing it's description as it is not black but red/brown (it looks like peaty water). And has nothing at all on the nose, nor on the palate. So it lived up to my low expectations.

Beer Geek Daydream from Mikkeller/Siren. A 12% white stout? Weird and not entirely convincing.

I poured half of it down the sink. Do not be tempted to buy it; I have another one sitting unopened and will be trying to find a bottle stall to donate it to.

I ♥ Skull Splitter.

I do too, my first time tasting it. Orkney Brewery make a very fine selection of beers

I'm guessing it wasn't made from boiled hen harrier either.

I love Belgian craft beers. Chimay Trappiste (the one with the red label) is one of my absolute favourites. During the summer I was enjoying a few cold Pilsner Urquell's. There is a bar in Parson's green, that does it on draught,from giant copper vats which are stood in the bar. It's unpasteurised, and is just fantastic.

Hook Norton Brewey pub last night, pint of Flagship IPA and a couple of pints of Mild. Also tried a sample of an experiment brew called Apache which was a very en trend hoppy beer, not sure which hops were in it but I'd guess a fair old chunk of Chinook, possibly Amarillo which I know they've used before, it was similar to Lion before it settled into the bland beer it is now - anyway, good stuff!

Great Orme Brewery Welsh Black, a kind of BIPA lite at 4%, not bad but could go with turbo-charging.

Fuller's Black Cab, bottled, a new one on me, like their London Porter but without the bitter edge and not quite as full-bodied.
