Beer?

Can we add tea to the list of "stuff wot shouldn't be in beer"?

No. Yeastie Boys Gunnamatta Earl Grey IPA is yumtus. And I'm sure I had a brilliant green tea beer with an elephant on it the last but one time I was in Scottishland.

I'm going to say it out loud. I don't want to because I know the guys, they're nice and local to me but I don't like Ticketybrew beers that much. They insist on Belgian yeasts in everything and it doesn't usually work. They do an Earl Grey strong IPA (more tea) that tastes like mouthwash.

However, this is lovely. Banana esters and quite malty / beery.

Now and again I eschew the excitement of hops, fruit, or face-imploding sourness and opt for the sort of beer that McGinty or @srw might like, in a spirit of beer-thread solidarity with the risk-averse element . This is a rather good traditional IPA, from Plain Ales of (you guessed it) Salisbury.

Attaboy!

Attaboy!

I'm on a plain, I can't complain. I've just relocated to Penrith (new job at a hotel near Pooley Bridge) and I've been checking out the fell Brewery Bar in the interests of research....very promising. Fell do some cracking beers (OPA, Mandarina, Nectar Pale, Hopweizen among others) and they have the likes of Wylam Loral (fruity pale) and Helm Bandersnatch ( classic IPA ) on tap. A day trip on the train to Wylam beckons like man!. Oh and always listen to the horse (man)...

I had a couple of pints of an amber ale last night. A collab bewteen a local bagel maker (Bagelman), and a brewer (Franklins). They use leftover stale bagels in brewing the beer, and the yeast to bake the bagels. Weird, but a lovely rich drop of ale.

Tonight is the butchers' pre-Christmas rush pub crawl. I'll try to take piccies but it could get messy.

Stay Puft Marshmallow Porter

A new one on me, Castanea, Mosaic & Centennial IPA

From Italy. Quite expensive for session strength keg at £6.40 a pint

Packs a lot of flavour, citrus, pine, zest, bitter.

Lovely

OMFG

A-MAY-ZING!!

Dry and Bitter X La Pirates

Black Flag. A personal favourite that I didn't think I'd see again

13% ABV rich, chocolate, puddings. Everything from Dry and Bitter is excellent

£3.50 for a third of a pint makes it reasonable enough all things considered.

Short date clear out, £10/case for Flagship IPA. Got me three boxes of yumtus.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

And?

it keeps a creamy head to the dregs, is very sweet, and tastes of marshmallows. The pink ones. Short finish, good as else it would be cloying, and a nice mouth feel as it is quite full-bodied. I had a half more as the girl friend I was drinking with wasn't over keen.
