Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Mega lols. Loads of rumours for ages it was Fourpure they were buying and turns out someone managed to sell them that toxic dump.

Ealing Beer Festival.

Perfect warmup for TCR.

I have some beers for you @skydancer you likely to be attending?

Will check times. And let you know. Very likely.

Cracked open a bottle of Siren/Elusive Brewing 2 Up Barley Wine that I snagged on the way out the pub last night. Marvellous. Quite light in the mouth, almost sour, but with a long, cocktaily finish. Lots of rich fruit and spice and something a bit like a gin and tonic in there too. Would recommend

If any of you are after the Weird Beard Follow the Worms (Agave Chili Stout) or the Beavertown Barrel Aged Appelation, the London Bridge Oddbins has them in stock.

Was about to set out then checked their website:

Beer Stocks
Please note beer stocks are very low. It is advised not to travel far to the festival as we may close early. Please check the facebook and twitter feeds for more information.

Well last entry today is 16:30 and it closes earlier at 18:30 so you'd be disappointed. I still have some leftover tokens from Thu. Doh!

Guinness Original is rather tasty.
I picked a few cans for tonight and fear I may finish them before the curry arrives.

D'oh! Indeed.
And Saturday night too.
We'll console ourselves with chappati club, Acton vale then brewdog

Anyone make it to the Trillium tap takeover at Beavertown last weekend? Beer was very good but queue times of around and hour and a quarter each round tend to suck the fun out of things. Cloudwater DIPA takeover at the Kings Arms E2 on Thursday was much better. 6 different CW DIPAs to tease against each other

CW have recalled MAGAG as some cans are exploding!

I enjoyed Beavertown Peacher Man t'other night. Not drinking alot of variety at mo tho.

London Beer City 3rd - 13th August might interest a few. Schedule of events here http://www.londonbeercity.com/schedule

beer stocks are very low

Silly you for wanting to go just after hippy's visit.

I gave fair warning :)

Oh to be in New Orleans on Thursday night

^ looked good, tho their Scorcher & Brown Ale tried lately both a bit ordinary.

In other news, a must try. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/saugatuck-neapolitan-milk-stout/150040/

Cold from Fridge very drinkable and true to the ice cream flavours!

Can't believe I just found out about this yesterday.

Found a decent German smoked beer in Mother Kelly's.

A Drinker not a Keeper? I've still got two bottles stashed hoping to make 25-30yrs before opening....

I've never been able to hold onto one for more than a few weeks...

Also, the Laphroaig BA one, wow!

Best.
Beer.
Ever.

GBBF this week.
Will go on Thursday. (West Beers?)

Me and Simon will be there on Thursday too

Had this the other day in a restaurant in Victoria, London. Rather good. Does anyone know if it can be bought over the counter.
