Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

^ Shandy fridge

I was late to the game (we moved office - it fucked deliveries) so had to make do with Tesco, my local offie and finally a large Brewdog order to get the calendar items. You're welcome to bring me a bottle... ;)

pfft, buy from waitrose online then pick up from your local branch, or do oh-car-doh

and you've got to get some of these down yer neck; number 3's from round the corner

The brewery that does the top on that list has a beer in sandbar, it's the 18 year old barrel stuff at 8%, I thought it was decent with a bit of a rummy quality although nothing massively special, two others on my table didn't really like it. I also had a ginger stout from blackjack that was really, really nice.

^ note to self, must go sandbar

Founders Porter this evening, nice.

Off to this place tomorrow for some on site brewed beer and Dr. Bluegrass playing tunes

ref. harviestoun, it's either the old engine oil porter or ola dubh 18 yr

not tasted the oeo reserve @ 9%, but added to wish list

If you come with us after polo tomorrow night you can probably get on our 20% discount.

Had the "Strannik" Imperial Stout from Northern Monk the other week. Very tasty.
Now sampling their IPA. Bloody lovely.

20% discount good, Thurs eves tricky for me tho at the mo.

The strange beast that is the black IPA is being further rehabilitated in my estimation by Black Ops from Salopian brewery...

I don't do the shopping. I just bark orders at the gf to get more beer.

I've had a few from that list. I'm sure there's some of those boxed Fullers brewer's specials in my offie but they're like £10 per bottle and for that money I'd rather be drinking Belgian stuff or brewdog/mikkeler stuff.

Serious beer envy for hippy's christmas list

Aussies, eh? What a bunch of fat testers' skinsuits.

Not my fridge.

Lucky you!
I've been on the 49-er tonight. Feeling a bit shanted now.....

epic fail>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'll think you'll find I'd built up quite a reserve.

I'm sticking with lunch beers, no more tonight. Another party tomorrow so trying to protect what's left of liver.

Work finished for the year, this is my next stop:

in about 10 mins. Ace.

I've got £120 bottle in my bag. Cognac thread >>>

My daughter* (aged 10mths) knocked a strangers pint of Kernel Brewery Cascade & Amarillo over, mostly onto that strangers coat. £4.50 to replace but also chance to get another cheeky round in before we left, every cloud n'all that....
