Beer?

[rich p]

A friend of 50 years standing, has reached his 60th birthday today, so I've bought him a selection of ales.
Kwak, Westmalle tripel and dubbel, Maredsous, a coupe of Kernels, and a couple of Schneide Weisse.

We're going to the boozer tonight to celebrate with some more prosaic, trad bitters.

The homebrew took a good six weeks to settle properly, but it's finally ready. And pretty good, if I say so myself, slightly fuller bodied than the previous effort which may be down to the change in yeast. I'll try an IPA next time, I think.

New one from M&S...

Not bad but not great either. It's a decent hoppy best bitter but using nine types of hop hasn't given it any more than average complexity.

I would drink it again though.

Right, I'm going to have to spread my wings. No more Tesco. Where do you get stuff like Dobber? Anybody got any recommendations for NE beer shops or internet shops?

Try looking at local micro breweries, my local brewery Great Newsome has a small shop (also does mail order) & attends local farmers markets. I'm also lucky to have a local farm shop which stocks beers from several Yorkshire breweries

Hull Beer Festival for me this afternoon I've had a quick perusal at the beer list & I don't reckon I'll get through them all especially the Yakima at 7.4% & Berserker at 7.5%

I'm drinking a lager, it was a prez! Anyway it's described as a Munich style beer, if I could remember any detail from Oktoberfest I could comment on that. Anyway I guess it's ok as far as this sort of stuff goes.

Non matching glass, balls to that old lag DP.

That's a coincidence. We were in the Buck at Maunby the other day and spotted a beer from Great Newsome (East Yorkshire's Hidden Gem). Can't remember what it was but it was right tasty and refreshing.

Reminds me of my visit to Belfast for the start of the Giro last year

And in case you are wondering why we were drinking beer, it was raining. And we could see the big screen from where we were standing.

There's always one tho...

I know it's not beer but this is my chosen tipple for tonight, after a long day looking after 2 toddlers.
