Big Raspberry Dog Chew by Fallen (with Common Grounds in the background).
A cask whopper at 10% ABV. It's sweet, it's thick and unctuous, it's strong. It's raspberry. A bit medicinal (don't think I'll be coughing for a while).
Glad I tried it

Aside: the Brightons are playing at The Manchesters today apparently.
Picture the scene when the particularly brash boy at the bar, showing off to his mates, bellowing abaaht aah fackin cheap the beer is in fackin Maaanchestah waffled tripe about beer with the bar tender for twenty minutes while everyone waited (and listened) has to part with 18 quid for a 33cl bottle that he's "had loads" cos he "lavs it" merely to save face.
I snorted

So I went up to the Taproom bar mid-Fourpures and asked them if I could buy some of their pint glasses. It turned out that it was easier just to walk out with the glass I had but if challenged I was to do a pointy ''He gave it to me.''
Anyhow, I just really enjoyed a Fourpure Juicebox IPA so much I went back for a Fourpure Beartooth. While the Juicebox was a real fruity voyage, rounded and never really bitter, the Beartooth - a kind of American brown ale - was a beer drinker's Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, all the Juicebox fruitiness with a touch of nuts and cocoa. Yumsicle!
Anyhow, in the beer listings, I had a couple more new to me beers. A Bexley Brewery May Place, which was a competent but utterly unremarkable bitter followed by a Yeovil Lynx amber ale, which was a bit like the previous but with a slight elderflower hint at the front.
I think that's 82 new beers so far this year.

Yesterday we had a bottle share.
I see to remember the Burning Sky and the Wiper & True x Partisan being the stand out beers. Runaway (very) limited editions were a bit meh. 7 Brothers table beer was good if that's your kind of thing

After being impressed by Fourpure last night, I discovered today that their Tap Room is only a couple of eminently cycleable miles away. They're only open Friday and Saturday, so that's my Friday night sorted. I shall have to be disciplined, though, there's a ''beer feast'' just around the corner on Saturday.

... Very impressed with Cloudwater's Islay Barrel Aged Imperial Stout-feel the power of the Dark Side
! Also Siren Liquid Mistress (red IPA)is well worth a punt if you see it. It's malty like a bitter but hoppy like an IPA. Siren do consistently good beers IMO and I'm pleased to see them on tap in Fell and Tweedies.
