My beer arrived today and without the facility of a panoramic camera, I needed two piccies...

Well that should get you through Christmas Day/in-laws visiting/a zombie apocalypse etc...

I had never been on Honest Brew site before but they have a decent selection of beers that I have not tried, so might give them a go.
I was not too impressed by Beer Hawk when I used them. Have not used them since.

Any other suggestions for smaller online retailers that I may have missed?

Well Beermerchants sold @rich p twice the amount he ordered...

If mine could say anything, they'd say I drink too much! I'll drink to that

Don't listen to it, they all tell lies.

Here it is.

Dipper v10

Cloudy, now with oats and "a new hoping regime". Lord only knows.

Anyway. It's good. Very good. Just as good as the last one and the one before that. No fruit, too bitter to be marmalade. It's got a kind of wine quality (spirit nose?)

Under"bittering hops" it lists Pilgrim Alpha (OK, I'll assume that's a hop) and CO2 extract. What's that wennitsattome?

Read it all together: Pilgrim (the hop) Alpha (the acids they want to extract) CO2 extract (an extraction procedure using supercritical Carbon dioxide). Basically, an extract just looking to add the perception of clean bitterness, but no real flavour.

Yeah, I knew that

(Thanks)

Lost in translation! I can, however, read 'Mer Christm' as an ingredient of a fine Mossnap. Combien des Mossirlamis for such a cloudy feast? The price sticker is subtly offering us an English pounds sign and no more, which is no help whatsoever.

1.92 MIs is the take out price with 0.21 added for drinking in. Rounded down, for me, to 2.10.

(£4.60, plus 50p, rounded down to a fiver)

Thank you. 0.21 'cappage' means that it has got to be a five dose session at least. Good value.

I use Beer52.com and find them pretty good-if I get the job on Skye I've just been interviewed for then I'll definitely be using them more (Portree is the nearest town and that's more than 20 miles away).

Two different beers,two totally different tastes yesterday.First up,Dark Star Crème Brulee[5.9] in the pub.A little too heavy for me perhaps,but very enjoyable nonetheless.Then later in the evening, a bottle of Guiness Rye Pale Ale....Oh dear me,never again!I do like citrus flavours in beer from time to time but the [for me] overpowering flavour of Grapefruit was way too much,made me feel queasy.Should you feel inclined,Tescos sell it.Best of luck!
