Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Last night I tried Saltaire Brewery's Cascadian Black. A black IPA (a variety of ale that has never really convinced me) from a brewery that has never disappointed me. I'm happy to say the brewery won out. I'm now celebrating with a bottle of their Triple Chocoholic Stout.

Awesome label
This American beer ain't bad either

These were on 6 for a fiver in chorlton offy, sadly no more :( The pale ale is really nice

What should I do for Dec 05? Go to the pub or stick with a bottle?

('Both' is the correct answer)

It's like you need to edit that wiki page to include your beer-advent concept

2 more dark ales worth a try, and more of the Smokeless.

^ the syl is a nice black ipa

Stout and Blackcurrent. Mod and mine favourite of the season.

I used to work the bar at a goth night in Cov, that was amongst the popular drinks...

Euston Tap have a lot of bottled beers I've never tried. That is all.

Funny, but the 'open letter' reply thing turns into too much of a marketing blurb.

Why wouldn't you use it as a marketing opportunity? Like he says, suing them is probably hypocritical and even more likely a waste of time.

Is that because it's best avoided? I'm alighting there tomorrow so might pop in for a beer if it's to be recommended.

Euston Tap has awesome beer but is a bit shit atmosphere wise. The Bree Louise just around the corner has an excellent choice of ales but is more of a proper pub and cheaper!

Cool, cheers for link.

Late train meant no time to visit either if those pubs this visit. Any worth visiting around Northfields / Brentford?
