Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

I just tend to do a google search of an area and then knock them off if/when I'm nearby:

Brooklyn are doing a meet the brewer and tasting at the Oddbins bottle shop in Blackheath this Thursday from 6pm

Worked at IMBC last weekend. Have only just recovered. Great fun, would ride again.

Nobody here been to the Wetherspoons Beer Festival then? Too cheap for you?

Bengali Tiger on cask at 6.4%..... £2.19, thank you very much.

After paying £4.50 for a 330ml can of Northern Monk's New World IPA the other night, I then went straight to Wetherspoons. I'm a big fan of Bengali Tiger. I once found a Wetherspoons in London that was selling the cans for a quid!

Where? All WDs?

Ahh this stuff: http://sixpoint.com/beers/core/bengali

I've had that at a 'spoons before.

Blackjack Red Rye Saison, aged 9 months in Pinot Noir Barrels. V.tasty.

They've a Belgian Triple IPA aged in similar, plus a Smoked Porter in Whisky Barrels both coming soon to their Alty & Smithfield Market bars.

Still need to go to blackjack places, all their stuff is good and they're lovely people.

I have been to The Smithfield Tavern, but I couldn't find any details for their brewtap

These sound amazing

Yus! Found bottles http://www.beergonzo.co.uk/buy/blackjack-beers-b149

So many good beers on that website

Your mission Jim...

the ipa.

Tough mission!

Took a lot for me not to order the Brooklyn Cuvee Noir from that site.

I've done a big brewdog order and had an eebria order I backed out of because I'm supposed to be like training and shit. #conflicted

Yeah I'm not meant to be buying beer for the "cellar" as we will be moving soon. Ah well will just have to lock it all in my cupboard at work.

First one in the cupboard

^ blimey, want, no, need.

Used to drink in there a lot when I was a teenager.

Copy Kat

Did you live near there or something ?

Yes. My folks still do.

You want me to deliver anything when I'm next out there? Horses head? Dead bird? Flowers?

Yeah cheers for the heads up! Something tells me I'm going to enjoy this when It's eventually opened.

Just had a physio appointment at Guys so popped into Utobeer in Borough Market after and picked up the Eroica handsome pale ale and Jaipur X by Thornbridge plus Bewdogs Heaven Hill Paradox.

Their Paradox Islay is silly peaty. I hope the Heaven Hill is not as smokey. I've had a bottle of that in storage for a year now.

Shit, that means I can own beer without drinking it!
