Also Xmas Eve is when they dish out the free Port Stout too. Yes you heard right FREE draught ale and a very nice one too.

Sapient Trip Ale - Dark Horse Brewing Co.
Christmas Flying Herbert - North Yorkshire Brewing Company
Help For Heroes - Marston's Beer Co

Best: Enghien Noël - Brasserie de Silly

The Dublin Porter wasn't porter enough for me. The Sapient was dirty as, since I couldn't store it upright. Nevermind. The triple was pretty nice too.

The Guinness India Porter wasn't very porter-y either. You could have told me it was a black lager and I'd have believed you.

you quaffers in the know will scoff at this old yokel, but was given a pack of anchor steam beer for xmas - verty drinkabkle it si too

S'alright, one of the first times I realised all American beer didn't taste like drinking fizzy water shortly after drinking carling.

Have a look for their Liberty Ale. My favourite of theirs.

I tried the Hacienda Black Saison the other day, v.nice.

Other Xmas highlights have all been in the 9%+ ballpark including Rye Smile, Emellise Espresso Stout and Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout.

The Marble is being saved but it's hard work leaving it.

Mikkeller Arh Had and Corsendonk Rousse were best two tonight.
Also tried other Guinness West Indies porter. Better than the other one IMHO.

Been drinking unpasteurised, unfiltered dark beers in Prague. Delicious stuff but Jesus Christ does it give you wind.

You can still drink here for about £1 a pint away from the tourist areas, which is where you find the better pubs anyway.

LOVE THE GAS!: http://youtu.be/dXcb7cbUGwE

Half a dozen to see out the year, some faves some new to try:

^ They had no Modus Hoperandi tho :(

I've got some fizzy piss, Leffe, Cocoa Psycho, Rip Tide, Hardcore IPA and a whole selection of Brasserie du Bocq bottles.

But all that's going in the bin so I can drink warm cans of Fosters. Go Brit or go home! :P

Hope you enjoyed the Fosters

Some nice bottles were brought along, the Marble 125 was lovely, as is this years Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, the Siren Pumpkin good too.
