Beer?

Punk Dog IPA followed by Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier, followed by Punk Dog IPA.
Shít-faced in a nice way.

Hop On Board (see what they did there)

Ironically the maltiest of malty beers.

Tastes like a walk through Warrington used to smell when I was a little boy.

Nowt wrong wi' it

I reckon it to be as sour as the face of a man whoes team have just been beat 2-4 at home by Scousers.

A gentler sort of sour. This came after the gin & tonic sorbet and before the Cwtch and the Orkney Red MacGregor.

I've had beer with just beer in it tonight - pint of Hooky in the boozer and a Red Rye at home, no pics.

Interesting or plain odd

The mint element is very faint.

Yuk...

This is described as having a gentle rounded fruity sourness.

I had a pint of Bonfire Boy, Harvey's seasonal special in one of my favourite boozer. A bit strong for lunch but dark, rich loveliness.
Followed by a visit to the John Harvey brewery shop to stock up on the double stout and Prince of Denmark, amongst others. Yum tiddly yum tum....us.

I've been in the Lake District for a few days. No pictures, I'm afraid, but here's the stuff I tried.

Badger Bar Pale (Old School Brewery, 3.8% abv)
Not keen on this one, although I've seen it reviewed well elsewhere (so possibly my taste buds, or the keeping where I drank it). A bit thin, with a lot of bitterness in which it was oddly difficult to discern any of the usual hop flavours.

Absent IPA (Old School Brewery, 5.5% abv)
As above really, save for a lot of alcoholly sweetness due to the higher abv.

Corby Fox (Cumberland, 4.7% abv)
Lovely stuff this - a bitter, with nice caramel flavours and bitter hops balancing it nicely.

Bluebird Bitter (Coniston Brewing Company, 4.2% abv)
Possibly the pick of the beers I tried - biscuity, with a slightly citrussy bitter hop finish - great stuff.

Goodhews Dry Stout (Barngates, 4.3% abv)
Mrs M's pick on the first night of our stay. A splendid, robust stout with heaps of coffee and smoke and a little toffee.

Windermere Blonde (Watermill, 4.2% abv)
Lovely gold beer, not much from the malt (although there is something) and a nicely judged finish of floral and citrus hops.

Actually, here's a picture of the inside of the Angel Inn, Bowness. You can see my pint of Bluebird in the foreground.

I actually haven't had any beer for over a week. Want to be at my best for interview on Tuesday morning. Then I'm going to go and have lots of beer afterwards

Here's a road sign that needs to be seen more often

Is that the options - water, coffee or good beer?

And we need to decide now?

I'm currently enjoying some Kingfisher with my chicken pakora, and for some reason my 14 year old daughter finds this rip in the tablecloth amusing.

Aahh-love their Ruby Mild (Rubyrubyruby!
