Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Spent most of yesterday with a massive hangover caused by Wadworth's Swordfish. It was like being a teenager again. Round my way, all the pubs were Courage, Wadworth or Arkells.

not surpirsed, swordfish has rum in it..

Marble's earl grey IPA is back on in sandbar, well expensive but fucking lovely and nice and strong.

In other news, hangover.

^^ & ^ cause & effect innit? Gonna have to try the earl grey IPA sometime.

Bramble Stout at The Riverhead, dangerously pop like.

Arrrrrr!

Burning Sky Saison a la Provision
Anchor Saison
Thornbridge Charlie Brown
Evil Twin Yang
Evil Twin Yin
^ & ^^ mixed.

The Yang wasn't what I'd thought/hoped but the Yin rescued the experience.

Power of the Voodoo, that 10% Triple IPA everyone had a whine about.

I see what they meant by sessionable. Even at 10% it doesn't taste like a crazy abv beer. Very nice imperial/triple IPA.

Wish I had more than one can to be honest.

Having a Long Forgotten Journey with next door's might. It's like Grand Marnier but with a sweet honey finish.

It's hot, so I bought a 20 pack of French stubbies from Tesco. Lovely. Honestly. Super dry, and far better than most other shite lager in the UK.

Tulse Hill this Saturday

Sourbeest from Wild Beer. Tart cherry and chocolate. Bit much at first but you get used to it after a few mouthfuls.

Bottledog was having a Wild Beer tasting night tonight. #csb

Marks and sparks beloved of the English blue rinse classes have got a big selection of brews on.
There's a saison that's delicious
Check em out you'd be helping the brewers of old Blighty.
Put that Sierra nevada down shep

@Bad_Science not many session beers worth getting hangover for.
Swordfish is one

Yeah, I was impressed they actually had some non M&S stuff in their. Waitrose or M&S I can't rmemeber which, have a map where they show which British brewery is doing which particular beer for them. Waitrose I think it was.

No that map is pick up in marks.
You were Pissed

Looking forward to a few brews Ooop north next week with @rhb.

I believe I was pissed. I didn't actually take the map - it was found somewhere and shown to me because someone got the idea I liked beer. Could've been work, maybe that Blur gig or a MTB at a pub. I can't recall. It will come to me around 2pm tomorrow for no reason..

I'll tweet you a pic. It's that important. No it is.
No really.
It is.

Say hi.

Tried the Norfolk Bitter earlier. It's actually brewed by Woodfordes. Very nice flavour and quite light feeling. I do think bitter should be served flat from a cask though.

One of the M&S beers is by Windsor and Eton who are a brilliant brewery, so worth a try.

Yeah. Modus Hop time.

Hearing enough good talk on this, it lives up to the hype.
