Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

That's silly. Gamma Ray is £2.50 a can in any bottle shop. You in London?

It's in some blousey shopping centre so I suspect the overhead is reflected in the pricing, Victorian brick vaults turned into money making machines. I generally just get a few sorachi saisons for the fridge from m&s as that's a great fruity refreshing beer. Bolton's limited for pubs without the lyrics for "I predict a riot" holding true

Digging the dinky ginger dude!

Clwb Tropicana. Oh yeah, very nice.

Meh. Bank holiday weekend and I'm on call.

So popped into Tesco and bought this:

We shall see...

Had that last night. Ice cream soda kinda vibe, you get that?

Tonight it's been Magic Rock Highwire Grapefruit and Verdant Bloom. The bloom is amazing

Ice cream soda

Yeah, spot on.

Nanny State wasn't bad when i tried it. Enjoy.

I nearly had a bottle of that St Peter's recently: couldn't see all the label in the chiller and thought it said "stout"...

The Nanny State is ok, a bit thin, however. The Innis & None was refreshing and would drink again.

Will be trying the St. Peters and Franziskaner later today.

The Innis & None was refreshing and would drink again.

Good to know, ta.

Yeastie Boys Bigmouth Session IPA is good.

Got a Patrons Project 7.4er for later too in the fridge.

Another nice one from the world of sub 1% beer.

I have to admit that the last time I had an alcohol free beer was Kaliber, they've improved one hell of a lot since then!

Been working my way through the aldi range of "craft" beers. Highlights have been the red rye 99p bottle. Brewed by Twickenham Ales so get to think you're​ supporting local business (I'm in Kingston​). Also enjoyed the similarly priced coffee porter "spill the beans". Great value.

Patrons Project 7.4er

Was the Grapefruit & Pineapple Juice IPA. PP4.02 7.4%

Was like fruity pop. Lilt.

Yeastie Boys Bigmouth Session IPA is good.

I've developed a bit of a taste for these, great session beer.

I nearly had a bottle of that St Peter's recently

Had it tonight. It's very malty.

Nanny State is much better when it's cold btw.

The Barrier brewing stuff that Mother Kelly's have air freighted over is really good, particularly the cans of Citra IPA

Just went to Made in Italy for a work lunch and had a rather nice Birra Moretti Siciliana which is made with orange blossom. Bonus is it comes in 500ml bottles.

BOB - beers of bexley pale ale is nice/lovely/hoppy but balanced/not facerapey

Wasn't expecting too much from this but they're selling it in that 'best pizza in the world' place in stokey and I was pleasantly surprised

Siren sound wave IPA is extremely palatable

My home town has a brewery and is going to open a tap house.

Also, I discovered there's a small brewery in Enfield - http://enfieldbrewery.co.uk/ which confusingly brews Enefeld beer. Not tried either.

A few thoughts from the Last couple of weekends

Coffee & Cigarettes - 330ml bottle, really tasty stout, nothing like its description, no taste of coffee, not worth the rrp

Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner - in the M&S 3 for 4 deal or £2 a can, a larger you can taste, decent buy

Adnams Blood Orange Wheat Beer - awful, stick to bloody ell
