Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

A bottle of this stuff. Pretty damn tasty, bit more bitter then most stouts, which is quite nice.

Had Camden's Caravan Coffee Ale last night at Caravan Kings Cross. It was interesting but also delicious.

In 24 hours, I will be bound for Ghent. So take that.

Pressure Drop's Sweet Potato Ale last night. AMAZING.

Exqueeze me? A sphincter says what?

Get involved.

How and where?!

I don't know if it's on 'general release' as such. I had it at a preview of Tim Anderson's new restaurant last night, but if it's available to buy outside of the restaurant it will be direct from Pressure Drop or at the Euston Tap.

Cheers fam, will try seek it out. Was is sweet?

It wasn't overly sweet but a little sweeter than your usual pale ale.

At the weekend I enjoyed Bare Arts (Todmorden) Milk Stout & Dark Stout.

I brought home a bottle of their Dark Porter 6.1% which is like a smoky bonfire. Like the dark ale equivalent of Ardbeg. Nice.

Anyone been to The Cats Back in Putney ? Or thereabouts ?

Owned by Harvey and Son brewers.

Their Old Ale was exceptionally good.

Yeah, its lovely, and has good music upstairs quite regularly.

I spent the last week in New Orleans and become quite accustomed to this lovely beer, I haven't ever seen it in the UK.

This was also delicious

Had one of these yesterday, bloody lovely.

In other news, I ordered a guiness at a pub. They had a tap on the counter, so I was a little confused when he reached for the fridge. Out comes a 500ml tin of guinness, poured into a pint glass and topped up with a shot of water. Yes, you heard. Speechless.

Wtf?

Did you throw it in his face and shit on his bottle opener?

Yes.

He opened it with his teeth, by the way.

Guiness is shite marketing bolx anyway. You got what you deserved...

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?

Delicious rum porter at Jolly Butcher on Saturday. If only I could remember the name.

^ Ohhh... That sounds lovely! ^_^

Yup, lovely. Cant wait.

Went to The Red Lion in Isleworth on Friday night. There was a beer festival on......over 50 different beers during the weekend.

Can't remember the names of any of the delicious beers I drank, but I do remember the Windsor Knot was disappointing.
