Beer?

[MossCommuter]

Not sure what his point is but it's pro-Brexit or anti-Brexit or summert to do with Brexit and beer:

It might not be anything to do with Brexit but I'm bored.

I'm not sure how figures that stop in 1994 could be related to Brexit unless there's a follow up post planned.

Free market started in 1994 (duty free ended) and the figures for exports shot up but he theorises that the exports were fake and then fails to speculate what will happen after Brexit when the free market might stop.

OK so I have been drinking mulled wine all afternoon (yes I know >>>>) which made me think it was a good idea to stop off at the Alehouse on the way home. Pint of Big Hand Havok (OK but a bit muted on the hop front), pint of Proper Job (v nice) and an accidental two pints of (ooooh) Titanic Plum Porter. BUT not the ornery one - they now have a Grand Reserve at 6.5% - which is the same but more so, so my bike ride home was a little wobbly. A beer right up @srw's street.

The Plum Porter is ace so I can't imagine how nice the turbo version is.

"Big up" for the Proper Job. It' very hard to not like that

One great advantage of being partially retired is the weekday afternoon sesh. Today's was at the Moorings, Hett Hills. Strange name for a pub that's miles from the nearest water but the staff are very friendly and the beer is well kept.

Had a pint of Rudgate Battleaxe which has tepid reviews on Ratebeer but I enjoyed it so much I had a few more. Mrs. jg says, "Mmmm. Nutty toffee."

That looks a jolly well kept pint

Oh dear, wine before beer! Oh, hang on, mulled wine doesn't really count as wine does it. As you were ...

I was selling it but there had to be some quality control. It had rum in it because I couldn't find any brandy.

Anybody heard of beerwulf? Just put in an order, free delivery over 12 bottles but really low prices! Erdinger Eisbock at £2.29, Chimey Blue £1.59 etc!
Mummy pig is biting her tongue about how much beer I have but I do love a bargain!

Left Hand's Nitro Milk Stout tonight. Good, but not as good as I recall.

Next up is Rogue's Mocha Porter.

Aaahhh...good old Grand Reserve!I've been trying Chorlton Imperial Sour (very Moorish, grows on you) at the Fell Bar in Penrith, currently on Cumbrian Legendary Ales IPA #1 (Dockray Hall) , also very drinkable, less hoppy than many,

Was reading about Left Hands yesterday. They had to do a recall on the Nitro Milk Stout last year and shut down al, production for a couple of weeks. Turned out there was a diastaticus contamination - now they're suing their yeast supplier, White Labs.

Rogue is the only brewery I boycott.

Ooft just looked at Rogue's Wiki, sound like a right bunch of barstewards.

Shame, some of the beer is decent - not a regular drinker of their stuff, but their amber ale in the grenade can was good. Ah well, they can go fark themselves.

Phew, pickle festival's over at the local proper pub!

Gingerbread man from Manning brewery: described itself as a ''ginger ruby'' and was neither ruby nor ginger. Very nice though; fruity at the front quickly switching to a dry bitterness at the end. The ginger took about half a pint before it kicked in as an aftertaste and then it lingered on about half a pint through the next. Which was a....

Loxley cask ale from Milestone brewery; is it named after something in the Archers? Anyhow, a nice enough beer aimed at doing cask beer well.

Also a half of Fuller's Golden Pride, which was less golden than the Gingerbread man was ruby, and, if ever a strong beer tried to be a rum and coke, I'd give it 8.3 out of 10 for sheer effort. ( 8.3 being its ABV%. ) Dark and sweet, definitely sweet and slightly treacly. Reckon they've got a deal going with Tate and Lyle down the Thames.

Did someone mention this upthread? I cba looking tbf but this is Mary Anne Is Dead, Imperial Mint Chocolate Stout by Bone Machine Brew Co.

Too minty; losing the mint would gain plenty. Nice carbonation but the head vanished. It's a bit mouthwashy

Marble have done a collaborative brew with Fullers.
