Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Alesmith Anvil ESB - it's their take in English pub beer using English malts, it's pretty darn good too. It's more malt than hop, can you believe it!

Overwhelming selection, this was one of their fridges, kids got fecked off waiting in the end and I was forced into an early selection...

Well boys and girls. Your starter for ten. Recognise the cityscape.

The beer is called Jaguar from the Kelburn Brewery (a bit of a clue) and it's the perfect start to the afternoon.

Sun's out, shorts on. Mossy's on his jollies.

Eden Brewery Blonde Knight- You can't beat a good blonde IMO (calling
@Fnaar !) and this one is made with Rye malt, which gives it a nice extra bit of flavour. Also at 4.4% it won't leave you feeling like you've just had a Wildling horde fighting in your head after a knight on the tiles (also Founders All Day IPA, a hoppier American style IPA but without the mahoosive ABV).
Cloudwater Brown Ale-Clouds bring the rain but also fine ales-''easy drinking brown ale featuring Vic's secret'' (hehehehehe).
Bad Seed Saison-if you like this style of beer then give this one a go for sure.
Weetwood Southern Cross-New World pale ale. One of the fruity, floral pale ales (3.6% so nice and easy does it), brewed with Downunder hops (hmm, that figures).
Northern Monk Mocha Porter-I've heard lots of good things about this one and I wasn't disappointed. Seek and ye shall find as they say.
Vocation Divide & Conquer-another quality offering from God's own country. If you've tried Wild Raven or Firestone Walker Wookey Jack then you'll love this one.

Do you think you might need a lie down?

I seem to have been stuck in a Heineken rut for a while lately. I blame the hot weather

This is called Joker IPA.

described as wickedly hoppy.

In frightfully hip burger bars "wickedly" has come to mean "not", as ne fewl kno.

It's fizzy.

I'm just happy to be here. They also do cheese on toast. That's how hip it is.

I know, traitor but this is rather good. Vanilla, marzipan, chocolate and it may be my 2nd....... As you were.....

 

[smutchin]

I know, traitor

Think of it as concentrated beer.

There are literally hundreds of pubs in Brighton & Hove but I found one that I'd never been in before. Hard to believe but trye.
It ws probably a decent boozer once but has been stripped and pined to death. Luckily it was steamingly warm even at early evening and I'd just emerged, á la Ursula Undress, from the sea so the Thornbridge Rhubarbe á Saison was perfect in the beer garden.

I picked up a couple of bottles this evening from my local beer emporium. The first was called Cheshire Cat Blonde ale by Weetwood Ales. I rather enjoyed it and will be reporting back with my usual intense & critical thoughts on the 2nd tomorrow.

Alesmith Evil Dead Red Ale, v nice and it's 6.66%

[QUOTE 4435216, member: 43827"]My son despairs of me, I drink the same beer nearly all the time, Brains bitter. I can't handle strong beers, it would destroy me if I tried it. He's in Swansea for a couple of days with some friends at the beer festival. Oh to be young again.

P.S. What's Jeremy Corbyn doing in the previous post, drinking beer.

Sitting down - which might seem unusual.
Nice to see the halves at table, Rich. What happened - did the boozer run out of pint glasses?

 

[Aperitif]

I'll take halfaminute for that, ta.

 

[nickyboy]

If you look closely at @rich p photo there are three halves but only Rich and his Brighton "friend" Kenny.

So who's got the second half?
