Went to a charity beer tasting last night at Hop Burns & Black for Mind. Was hosted by Matthew Curtis and was based on unsung hero beers, beers which are, perhaps, outshone by their breweries or rivals more popular beers but great in their own right.
These beers were:
Augustiner Lagerbier Hell
Beavertown's 8 Ball Rye IPA (Totally eclipsed by the popularity of Neck Oil and Gamma Ray)
Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
Boon Mariage Parfait
Renaissance Scotch Ale (Simon had never had a scotch ale and loved this)
New Belgium Lips of Faith Le Terroir dry hoped sour (Matt got this out in Colorado and it was one of the best sours I've ever had).I got a delivery today of some beers including De Molen's Bloed Zweet and Tranen Bruichladdich oak aged version from 2010. Yum.
Tonight I'm going to Oktober Feast in Canada Water. There's beers from UK, USA and Germany plus Bleecker Street burgers, lobster rolls, spit roasts, tacos, schnitzel, curry wurst and black forest profiteroles on offer foodwise.

Mate sent me details for that but I thought their beers were a bit meh. Maybe it was just because it was in Canada Water.
Charity beer tasting sounds cool.
Had the Brewdog Russian Doll set last night after starting on Woodford Double Oak. I think I'd had it too long. The pale was thin, the IPA was nice, the double IPA was ok but not super and the barley wine was pretty nice.

Yeah I'm going as it's a farewell drinks to my mate who is in the Merchant Navy and off to a ship on Monday plus there is a lot of meat. Only beers on the list I am excited about are the Magic Rock ones as I've not had any yet.

All Wetherspoons. There are 50 festival casks on rotation, so you just need to turn up and see which ones they currently have on tap.

Buxton's Wyoming Sheep Ranch - 8% very tasty
Flying Dog The Gourd Standard followed by The Fear... prefer the former, nice and spicy, both good though. -

Also @hippy, last weekend I was in Borough Market, they are no longer carrying the Local 1, just FYI

Have just finished a bottle of the Tart; my first and last foray into sours. Had a bottle of Jaipur at the Sedge Lynn before that. It's about £2.50 a throw there, so you can't really turn it down. Also, I picked up a bottle of the Thornbridge Brouwerij 't IJ wheat beer and it is suddenly in 500ml bottles and reasonably priced. Did they realise that charging £3.50+ for a 330ml bottle was a bit much? If so then good on them!
Shock horror! Not sure mine will last long.
