Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

I was explaining it in terms that would be understood by cyclists.

Don't know if you have to do it in one trip. We should do it and find out.

It's decent, but pokey. Feels every bit 10%.

Exactly my thinking

Making my way through the supermarket haul in the way back from Christmas in France. Feels wrong to be able to get 10% bangers for a couple of euros.

Got gifted a load of local brews as well so I'm set for a bit.

Revealing stuff. Cask is still undervalued, it seems. And Little Earth Project is one of the best brewers in the country, fite me

No fighting here. Little Earth Project are excellent!

Great fun at the Shirker’s Rest tonight. BBNo takeover and any purchase of one of their beers gets you a game of bagatelle against the brewers with a free can if you win.

In Malta for the week, all the beer looks like it was served in a working men's club in the 70s.

Another absolute banger from Burnt Mill Brewery:

I was in Malta in 2003 when the referendum result game in for joining the EU (on a university geography field trip). It was a wild festival atmosphere - people driving around on floats blaring out Europe - The Final Countdown and hanging out of blue and yellow rattle-caned bangers with the roofs cut off. We drank A LOT of Cisk that week. Been wanting to go back ever since!

Slightly more chilled out in the January off season, but we did walk along the cliff where there was a solitary food van selling cisk and banging out Psytrance at 11am. My 2 and a half year old was loving it!

Just had a tin of Putty from Verdant …. seems to be lots of P.R. fuss over a sort of nice but not terribly outstanding DIPA …. are my tastebuds missing something … ?
All the Saint Mars of the Desert beers I bought at the same time much tastier …

Every can of it I’ve had has been nice but nothing amazing, maybe on draught it would be nicer… although can’t stomach the 2/3 or 1pint prices.

It was nigh on a tenner for a can … ! ‘kin ‘ell …..I was sucked in …. if only there was somewhere nice to have a beer down in South London Town on a Saturday afternoon …. !

It’s their answer to dry January and nothing more. Look at the replies to their twitter posts about it in previous years; an embarrassing shit show of pathetic cunts begging pubs to save them a pint of it and asking to have the keg badges. I love that brewery but I’d argue it’s their worst dipa. It actually tastes like it’s stronger than 8% and they usually make their dipas dangerously drinkable because they don’t taste as strong as they are.

They actually made stickers this year to pacify the goons who wanted keg badges. They can put their little badge on and wander around like they’ve had a serious head injury and tell people it’s their favourite beer

Should of just stuck with London Towns best brewery …. mmmmm. …..
