Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

I got an order from Burning Sky this week, i really enjoyed Tail Crush one of the nicest session beers I've had

The Portman Group will be after them shortly...

Vocation - Breakfast Club 2.0 noticeably fruitier than the previous, I like it, and I liked V1

The London Beer Factory La Passion tart passion fruit saision: nice but pricey. Drank one bottle, could have done with another.

...or two.

so much better on cask in a pub

Ah pubs.
So loved them before they became extinct
So sad...

I am sad I only picked up one Tail Crush. Just so good.

Dropped into 'Pint of Hops' along Acton's Churchfield Road(?)
on the way to a Shakespearean Wests on a cool windswept heath yesterday.

Tried this:
The Blueberry muffin taste was distinctive and pervading.
Can't remember the last time a 'beer' repeated on me so much,
but, there again, with Wests in abeyance,
I've not been drinking, (alcohol).

Are you lactose intolerant? :)

Missed lunch so I was hitting the turbo last night. I've just got a sixer from Jefferson, I've ordered another growler of silly IPA from Dodo and I've got a fridge full of cans and bottles for Cyberfest2 from beer52.

Are you lactose intolerant? :)

Pretty much, as I haven't eaten meat for years,
and only very limited dairy, (Cow milk yoghurt).
Never had this response to any of the ales/lagers/stouts drunk in the
last 5 years. Perhaps 7/8 weeks off the sauce has passed me anothert threshhold?

Sours are often pretty active beers so it might've just been a bit more carbonation than normal, especially if you're used to pub cask stuff.

Yeah, probably not helped by the evening meal being an XXX portion of chips
from the Savoy chippy,
and,
an aperitif of a Raspberry Gose.

had a IKAT DDH DIPA from Salt (lots of letters)
For a strong IPA it was a bit wishy-washy.

jazzy pink can though

Oh, I really quite liked that.

A 3.5 on untappd is pretty good score from me.

the Savoy chippy

Ooh, we're a bit posh around West London, are we?

Lager.

My corner shop stocks 50cl tins of Budvar and Spanish San Miguel so I’m spoiled for lager.

Don’t buy this if you’re in Tesco. Like a gose but really heavy and not enjoyable at all

100%, is that the abv?

Yeah,
they've had to get their act together in the Time of Covid.
I think they can deliver to most of the area bounded by the M25,
(by boat).

Today's (first) beer is a Lost Cosmonaut DDH IPA
I'm determined to like IPAs
