Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

The slower it arrives the better chance it has of lasting until Xmas :D

I owe @Landslide one of these I think.

I do like a bit of geuze but you’re going to need some gaviscon to get through that lot

Quite excited to try this Verdant & Deya DIPA from this mornings All Good Beer advent box

Haha. Worth it.

I got this yesterday, Boxing Day sorted.

Still no Tempest or Buxton in my lbs but I'm told at least the Buxton will be coming in soon.

Regarding Belgium, my mate manages a large retailer logistics/stock shit and said last night

"UK ports are at 100% capacity because companies are stock piling goods ahead of a no deal. All our December and jan stock is headed to Belgium to be unloaded. Shipping companies think it’ll be 3 to 4 weeks before the backlog is gone."

Felixstowe is currently at 150% (?!) capacity according to our supply chain. Ships that were booked to arrive from Australia ahead of January are now being rerouted & will arrive mid-Jan. Importing anything is going to be very dicey indeed for the next couple of months

Ouch.

Yay Brexit! Remind me again of the benefits?

Ooh, where from?

The Epicurean is my LBS. I think I got lucky tbh.

I enjoyed that one. Boozy aftertaste but a nice one, not something many 8% IPAs nail

Any suggestions for growlers? Was thinking of getting my kid brother one for Christmas, but don't know what's best: steel/glass/insulated etc.

If you find cool steel ones, I'm looking for one too. Don't want glass because cycling.

Yay Brexit! Remind me again of the
benefits?

£350 million a week for the NHS.

Oh wait.

Umm... Apparently faster vaccine approval is the latest wheeze.

The pressurised ones with co2 canister inputs are great for storing hoppy beers, but haven’t bought one because if I’ve got 4 pints of pub fresh IPA it’s getting dispatched that night. Might blow the budget though

Delicious cinder toffee stout from NBB has had a pokey overhaul and is even better. Got one of Omnipollo’s less mental beers to try later

Currently going down a treat:

Still getting the “5 weeks mate” email response and order still at “Payment accepted”

Counter with "is that 5 weeks from order as I ordered 3 weeks ago and can you confirm this will be received pre Christmas."

I sent that on Sunday and beer in my house today.

Delicious

Voicemail from LBS to say Buxton's have landed. I won't count them until I have them but should be getting hold of a Petrosian & a Bourbon Rain Shadow

A warning for anyone with one of these, they are quite explosive upon opening. Do it over the sink. Far too bloody easy to drink for 9%

How'd that Rye one end up here too?
