Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Dat quad

Really didn't enjoy this when I had a bottle, Bourbon was overpowering

I liked the flavours but it was a bit light on mouthfeel. You know when you're expecting syrup and get sorbet.

^^That was me, forgot I hadn't sorted my log in on my phone

This is nice:

Got that touch of sweetness that I like in American IPAs. This one's from 'straya.

Today I been mostly soaking and scrubbing labels off brown glass bottles.

Grrr...

Rainshadow at the Buxton Tap. Got a bottle from lol as it's very good Imp.St.

Also can of Stones Ruination after seeing andy_k enjoy a can recently, it's cold already so having it with curry tonight.

Alphabet Brewing Company, A to the K. First sip told me 'would drink again'. So I did, several times. Bit fuzzy today...

Ready for tonight's session courtesy of the beer shop on Prince of Wales Rd. Kentish Town. Especially looking forward to the Duvel triple hop experiment

That Duvel is lovely

Fantastic!

That's just part of the slightly random requirements that licensing committees can impose. I imagine someone turned up to the hearing, made that claim about street drinking, and the committee decided that this would be a good idea.

Obviously, given the proximity to where hippy lives and the fact that they sell Polish beer I'm more surprised that they didn't impose a requirement in place to restrict customers to a maximum of 7,000 bottles at a time, but the committee probably didn't realise at the time that he still quite a few higher-level beer badges to earn.

Can't go wrong with a De Molen, had a Laphroaig barrel-aged Rasputin a few weeks back. One of the best beers I've ever had!

Axe Edge still tasting nice and fresh (bottles 31st August)

Kernel Centinal Comet Summit IPA - also nice.

Anyone else tried the Siren Barrel Aged Caribbean Chocolate Cake yet? Well worth a bottle if you can wangle one...

I think I just experienced a weekend without a beer... I think.

@mmccarthy and @Psy came to mine a few weeks ago and brewed a blackberry gose made with icelandic lava salt (we so trendy)

Moving it to secondary tonight on more blackberries before bottling on Wednesday.

^ That's a very polite way of saying we stood around generally getting in the way, asking silly questions and drinking beer.

haha you definitely managed to somehow be constantly stood in the way

If you're not drinking beer on a brewday you're not doing it right.

There's still 8+ casks on at New Inn in Ealing after their beer festival.

Don't ask me how I know, I'm busy working from home..
