Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Believe it's Barworks group

http://barworks.com

Cheers - good places.

These ones and The Axe are Graceland. Same founders as Barworks but I’m told they’re different groups, somehow

Strange, I started to look into it and it appears they’re all under barworks now. I know those sites used to have a different ops manager.

Just reading about these guys and they’ve certainly made a mark. Seem to have had a hand in Camden Town and ELLC

Interesting. I particularly rate those ones I mentioned, but will check out the others. The Diner never really did it for me, and I'm too old for The Wenlock & Essex, but Mare Street Market looks cool, and I'll have to have a look at the other pubs on the roster.

The Axe in stokey is really the only one that’s similar, the rest still have a decent beer selection but are a little more lively

If London based people are after Cloudwater Parkin Cake, Hop Burns and Black have it in both shops -didn't think it was one we would see down here.

If you can find Parkin grab it all for enjoyment. I got 3 more cans from the last 24 they had on sale at Unit 9.

Rations might last through October.

I got a couple, but will probably nip back and grab a couple more to stick away for Christmas. Such a well balanced beer.

It is almost perfect... my only grumble, this is an autumn/winter beer.

If I can keep one for Christmas Day it'll be a willpower win.

Founders KBS Bourbon BA Stout

Big thanks for the tip. Steep delivery cost but I'm now the proud owner of two cans.

Also from LHD, a Woodland Creatures, and an Easy Tiger I'm enjoying right this second

Woodland Creatures

That and Parkin will be a great night in!

Deya Steady Rolling Man

Can confirm this imperial stout from Burning Sky is fucking delicious.

Cooking, enjoying a picon bière.

picon bière

"Anyway, one such game on the French Atlantic coast lead me to order a Picon biere and be confronted shortly afterwards with a sort of orangey brown and moderately fizzy pint. Intriguingly, the addition of an orangey liqeur to continental lager creates a drink with the taste of a nice pale ale but the cool, sparkling refreshment of a shandy. It was confusing and alluring at the same time, like a wet dream about a second cousin."

Pretty spot on description! It's also a good way to get through all the shit beer left at my house after a bbq.

Good idea. I think I need some of this in my collection.

Local co-op refurbed, now stocking this with a buy 2 save 18p offer. Early retirement a step closer.

I wasn't going to drink tonight.

So I've just put 5 cans of DIPA in the fridge.

"whoops"

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.

You should try my Lovely Juice (TM)

Half Stella, half Scrumpy Jack, dash of blackcurrant and apple cordial and then a shot of Bombay Sapphire and Captain Morgan's rum.

Actually, it's not very good for you
