Wow! Thanks for those, only there for 5 days so those should keep me busy, especially after a week drinking PBR in Florida (maybe that should be in the I confess thread...)

Manchester beer folks, Beer Moth are opening a cafe. @cafebeermoth on twitter. Exciting.

Drank my Gourd Standard last night. It's good, think I prefer The Fear out the two of them.

That's strange! Coffee-themed beers or is it so that they can serve food too?

Probably easier to open a cafe that also sells beer than a pub. Planning consent etc. Just my guess though, may be different reason.

pleased to see adnams have bottled their mosaic and our local offie is on to it

A customer dropped in a beer today from Bottle Logic Brewing. It's a bourbon barrel aged spiced pumpkin beer (nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves). Tastes like a chai tea. Defo one to watch fireworks with in the cold. Spices were spot on, not overpowering or powdery. Got no bourbon from it though.

I really like that Adnams Mosaic.

The Adnams Sorachi Saison they brew for M&S with my wife's staff discount applied is really nice.

They also do a dry hopped lager which is nice

Soooooooooo hungover. How?!

does look zingy,

Yeah I've never had one of those.

The other half is a fan of porter/stout and 'weird' beers so we're celebrating her birthday with a bottle of Indra Kunindra by Ballast Point. It's an India-style export stout brewed with madras curry, cumin, cayenne, coconut and kaffir lime. Sounds pretty grim but somehow works.

I've also had an enjoyed habanero sculpin by the same brewery, which is a hop/chilli beer. That was excellent.

Yeah I saw that in your fridge and thought it might be a bit too weird for me

Had a Tactical Nuclear Penguin tonight.

Much nicer than the Sink The Bismarck I have to admit.

Did not like. It was a nice IPA and then heated up like I'd licked a chilli. All kinds of wrong.

£35 a bottle? Pass.

I visited the Five Bells again yesterday and had an Aylesbury Brew Co 'Curiosity'. Went over to Wild Weather Ales brewery but it had closed by the time I got there. #csb

Balham?

Ilkley Brewery Co Westwood White Chocolate Stout. Fun pudding beer.
