Beer?

[Crackle]

My first ever kwak......I know....

There's something rather patrician about these under the arches breweries. They don't sell pints, 2/3rds is the biggest you can get. I get to feel that they're rationing it. On the other hand, after popping outside for a fag and being hit by a wave of heat, I asked for some water, mindful of the effect of beer and biking in hot sunshine. Voilà, a pint of water!

My mate Flozza - the manager of the bar at BBNO - still can't get his head around you Brits and your pints. Mind you, he still can't believe how quick you all guzzle it down.

Just had a few at the werrington beer festival..not a tin in sight.
What is it with tinnies? I hate tinned beer

Better quality product - simple as that. I guess I drink about 80% of my beer from tins these days. The beer stays fresher for longer and the days of tins imparting metallic taste are long gone.

(+ better artwork, can chill them more quickly, cheaper to transport, more recyleable...)

I think I may have spoken to Flozza yesterday. He seemed in charge and was from the Netherlands.

Disappointed but not particularly surprised. They're at a ''certain size'' and give the impression of being ambitious...

I got that impression too, from the use of language that indicates an enthusiastic embrace of management w*nkspeak in the article.

Another sell out... Maybe there needs to be a masterlist of those breweries made public where we can boycott...

Tonight I have been mainly drinking Trolltunga which I think I mentioned on Easter Day when I was in Buxton's tap.

Goosegogs, you'll remember, and perfect in the unrelenting (fabulous) heat

Get some

I'll wait to see how their beers develop. If they continue to produce fine beers - and they've done a few - I'll still pop over to their taproom in Bermondsey. It's only 5 relaxed minutes on the bike from here so not something to boycott just yet....

But how many minutes back by bike ?

I had to drop my daughter off in Llangollen for her D of E today. I took her twin brother along for the ride to get him out of his bedroom for a day! We decided to go to Bala for a swim in the lake. Of course this decision was easy as it meant I could spend some money in one of the finest beer emporia I can recall.

Lots of Welsh goodness that will grace these pages in the coming weeks. Not tonight though. Something from somewhere down on the Severn. With a nod to the continuing heat, a session beer much lighter than I usually drink. It packs light floral notes and a lingering bitterness very nicely into its 3.6%
