Beer?

[rich p]

Back to the lunchtime boozer for my beer chum night.

A couple of each of the Blond and Best. The light blond was particularly nice for a 3.8% hoppy quaff. The best was a pretty reasonable but unremarkable traditional ale.
A new, to me, brewery from Ringmer which is a few miles from here.
Despite my normal 'no publicity' rule, I have consented to be the public face of this beer on CycleChat.
If it works for Cliff and a wet fish, in the Algarve, then...

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am?

Yes

 

[rich p]

Yes

I already said that up there ^^^

Yeah, and you overplayed the gag.

The gag reflex. Happens to the best of us.

After promising myself a post-speech succour in the form of The Harp, I stumbled into 'The Admiralty', on the South side of Trafalgar Square to meet a USA domiciled friend who wanted to watch their titanic struggle with South Africa, in the latest Rugby World Cup match. "Just a quick one, then we'll move on..." Last orders bell rang loudly and we left, oh well. Fullers pub,and I discussed London Porter with my inner self. Bitter enough contrast to the darkness...caramel. Tasted of rich again...like so many things! A very well presented pint. They all were - no deviation in tasting something else as it was a good session beer at 5.something%. (This was allowed as it would constitute 'dinner'). Actually, we ate there too; hot, wholesome food and the conveniences (when one has descended and 'pinballed' through endless doors, are some of the best appointed I have seen in any pub. Fair prices too, so there's a good plug for anyone wanting space, TV, beer, food and more in the heart of London.

A quick snap taken after my first swig...(and the rugby was not so refreshing.)

To whom do the greetings cards belong threewishesmcdaddy? Pink and turquoise colour spread...no lary, nasty point-blank stuff so it can't be yours.
Funnily enough, I yomped to Sainos, originally in pursuit of some bottled London Porter, was tempted by the 1845, then decided to fill my modest boots with Affligem, 4 x Big Bertha Brewdogs (so much better value than the BrewPuppies...them little things.) a 'looky-likey' Sainsbury London Porter (£1.25 a 500ml bottle - musn't grumble) and, the joker in the pack (as it was in my eyeline) a Batemans Mocha - again as a 500ml. I should have chilled the Affligem before using it to launch the S.S. Imbibery, as it would have helped the sweet barley buffer work a little better. S'ok though - if a little small at 300ml. Which means one has another in short order, then perhaps a third...and suddenly the 6.8% kicks in. Those dastardly Belgians, they'll do anything to ruin the UK citizen's health...buns, small bottles, Eddy Merckx bottle caps...
As for one of the other bottles. I had better not say to myself Hmm...Bateman beer...
