Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Try harder!

;-)

amey, I got a PumpKing Ale by Wychwood, at ASDA. I must say, that it is perfect for washing down a jerk chicken pattie.

I went to the Brewdog bar in Camden on Saturday. I tried 'Sink the Bismarck' (41%) here is the blurb from their website:

"This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts."

It was served as a 25ml measure and it was obviously very potent. It was lovely to sip and certainly warmed the cockles!

Bike safety shouldn't come between a man and his love for good beer surely? http://www.lfgss.com/thread96372.html

belgian beers FTW!

Had some Fullers - Jack Frost last night... nice winter ale, not seen it previously (last year etc) is it new?

Sampled by Oat44 at the Piglet beer festival in the Leyton Orient Supporters Club.

:/..........

Got some mates coming down in a few weeks and want to take them to a few ale pubs on a Saturday early evening somewhere quite central.

At the moment I'm thinking Jerusalem Tavern, Craft Beer Co (Leather Lane) and Euston Tap as they're within walking distance.

Any other suggestions round there or a better area to head for?

Back home in Norfolk, so giving this local brew a try.

Just round the corner from the Euston Tap. Good pies too.

There's a little crawl between old st and angel.
The old fountain - the wenlock tavern - the earl of Essex - the Charles Lamb - the craft beer co N1 (opening this Friday)
All good but different types of pub with great selections of well kept ale.
Not a lot central, and some of the clerkenwell pubs close at the weekend.
The bree Louise may have good pies but a lot of their beer is on gravity and
not always served in the best condition...

During the week it's fine but at the weekend I'm sure the Jerusalem Tavern is closed

Ah-ha. I'd forgotten about the Wenlock. Love it in there. Not a big fan of the Charles Lamb as it's a work pub.

Pissflaps re the Jerusalem Tavern being closed.

Today's tipple.

Jack Frost comes out every few years. That and Mr Harry. Jack Frost is lovely .

Had my first Lock in in the Wenlock. the band kept playing the EKG kept flowing. A great pub . Havent been in for a while .

The royal oak near borough station . A Harveys pub does a lovely pint of Harveys best bitter.

Robinson's Cheshire Black Stout in the cupboard settling, hope it is close to Old Tom in terms of awesome.

^ Delicious. The label says it's based on an 1892 recipe and this was the choice of beer for the hourly paid beer allowance...

It does have a certain old skool vibe. The regulars can be supremely friendly & unfriendly both at once.

Nice boozer that, proper old school

Wax sealed bottles of homebrew 9% barley wine I made for a mate's wedding. Album of the whole process

Top work there ^! Would love to give that a go someday.

Lovely work, they look smashing. You're friends are going to love it.

Good skills using the parti-gyle technique too... very old school - did you and your assistants get smashed on the "small beer" that followed the barley wine? :-)
