Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

They sell bottles. Don't see why they wouldn't let you buy a couple take-away.

Very true, could be worth it. Last time I had one in a pub though they charged me £4.50 for a bottle

Beagle is a winner, the new(ish) font in Chorlton has a pretty wide selection. Never any atmosphere in there though.

Ask yourself, "is it worth it?".

If you're a CAMRA member, you get 25% off ales in Font. Which is nice.

Are craft lager beers allowed in this thread? I discovered this really excellent one from Chapel Down whose English wines I was already a fan of: http://www.chapeldown.com/Products/102-curious-brew-brut-24-bottles.aspx

I drink a lot of curious porter, not tried the lager

Brewmeister has made the worlds strongest beer. 67%!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good starter kit or guide for home brewing. I have a fairly large basement space (single garage sized) so have plenty of space. I'd rather something i have quite a large amount of influence over, is starting with a full mash kit a bad idea?

I've tried the curious lager a while ago, remember it being nice

No idea but there's a homebrew thread.

Had some Magic Rock Brewerey High Wire last night, belting stuff. £6 a pint can fuck off though...

This is a great kit to start with.

However you can pick up the bits secondhand a lot cheaper but I'd recomend the Woodfords Werry. Lovely beer.

Recent lovely beverage...

Last one is Lingonberry double IPA.

Those crazy Scottish bastards!

I had a few of what is possibly the perfect beer tonight, cannay remember what it is or where it's from though.

Want.

On Saturday Beavertown are taking over the pumps at the Black Heart in Camden

I for one will be trying them all

Love Beavertown stuff, wish I woz still in London...

Smog Rocket is my favourite at the moment. That'll be costing you a fair old whack. Surely the fact they have very little in the way of distribution costs should mean reasonable prices. I don't mind paying £5 for good beer but it seems that's now the going rate everywhere.

Hipster tax innit

£5 for what? A pint?

Yeah - if its something special. I do most of my drinking in Sam Smiths pubs however.

On a similar note and no where else to put it,

Leeds old town:-

Was in a Brooklyn Brewery pop-up bar last night. Bare walls, picnic tables and benches, plastic glasses, festival toilets and one till (you buy beer tokens on the way in)

£4.50 for 2/3 weiss. Very on-trend.

Around the corner a co-operative ran bar, similar building, white glazed brick walls, odd but comfy seating, flushing toilets and urinals. Has Yorkshire Lager at £2.30 + Sam Smiths bottled range (Barley Wine seems to have finished)
