Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

The Rum Porter was probably by Boggart brewery - it's superb.

Yes it was! Good sleuthing.

Anyway...

Recent wonders have included...

Nice, tastes of honey even though there is no honey in it...

I am getting more and more impressed by Tiny Rebel, consistantly good beers.

Now this was wierd. I'm quite happy to see a low percentage ale as a 'session' beer or for those who drive However this was very, very dry.

I wouldn't have it again but I don't drive when I drink, so not an issue.

Sweet, sweet, sweet... Probably the sweetest IPA I have tasted yet! (Sweet as in sugar, not sweet as in 'sweet dude...')

OMG. They are not kidding when they say chocolate and vanilla... It was ice cream in a pint!

It smell and tastes of it... It was so hard to say no to one more pint...

However I needed to try this:

Dry, lethal and full of cranberry goodness... At least thats what I told myself while drinking it!

Where was the C&V Stout?

I need to try that.

The C&V stout was at The Evening Star in Brighton, I don't think it'll be around for long however... :-(

Had a delicious bottle of Bath Ales Gem last night, tasted amazing with some olives. Christ, what a ponce!

Had a few pints of outstanding beers pushing out last night had a couple on Tuesday night too, it's big at 7.4% but bloody tasty, kind of fruity with a decent bitter, hoppy aftertaste and a pretty good alcohol punch in the mouth, but not too much, actually goes down a bit too easy for it's strength, I'm a fan, although, less so this morning.

Gem is lovely.. are all Bath ales I've tried

I drank a few of those Cwtch last night... good beer that. No idea how to say it. They've got it on at the Black Heart in Camden atm

They had bath's golden hare on in my local last night actually, was very good.

Just drinking a Baltika.
Russian lager.
It's piss.

Bloody lovely stuff, I tell thee.

And this is absolutely fantastic!

Had to get this just for the tap...

That is amazing.

Crown and Anchor, Euston. Lunch. Today. #win

Little far for me, although the brewery is about 4 miles from my house.

A new Marble Brewery Black IPA, dangerous but lovely!

And this from Okell's, I've seen this in a couple of other pubs too recently. A new thing?

Yep, A new thing. The Jiarg and Olaf are both really nice pints.

And this is absolutely fantastic!

My local brewer.

Their Twisted Spire is exceptional too. Hopefully they'll get nationally known, as they deserve a wider appreciation.

aha, know clibber well

they tend a good pint of hobsons in the fountain, and also the cocks at stoddeston

Ah yes.......The Fighting Cocks at Stotteston. Nice village to live. Always a few decent beers on offer. My old mate Jem, the cycling artist, is usually in there, I believe.

Hoptimus Prime !!!! Might be the best thing I've ever seen.

Missus bought me a load of random world beers for my birthday - one for each year - packaged in a rather nice crate from Holland.

I'm up to beer number 8, but this little fella, aptly called Chapeau from Belgium is my favourite so far...

Only 3.5%, but I was expecting it to be not that clever, because of the banananess. But it was** really** nice if you can stomach a sweetness to your ale.

Nice gift idea.

Yeah, and believe me, she won't let me forget that one ;)

Agreed that is great gift, tempted to ask my gf to hold onto that thought until 2025 to get two full crates @ 48

seeing as we've had double stout up thread, slowly ploughing through a case of this nice chocolatey malty twelve days
