Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Schneider Weisse Meine Porter Weisse

It's like a banoffee pudding.

Barmaid "what would you like"
Punter "a pint of piss please"

/facepalm

Punter settled on a pint of pale, with Vodka Lime Soda chaser.

At the Crown and Anchor in Brixton. Better selection than I remember. Had the below so far.

Brew Dog - Dead Pony Club
Brixton Brewery - Electric IPA
Brixton Brewery - Effra Ale

Pressure Drop - Bosko IPA. Wow. This is like fresh mango juice with a massive amount of hops. It's on at the Sebright Arms just now.

Thornbridge - Colorado Red. Just delicious. It's got a toffee thing going on. Tastes a little like rye beer. Quite a refreshing bitterness too; tonnes of hops. This one is on at the Red Lion in Leytonstone just now.

Last week's batch of bottles..

Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen by Radeberger Gruppe
Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel by Brasserie d'Achouffe (disappointing, stick with La Chouffe)
Chang Beer (5.0%) by Thai Beverage PLC (bought due to pub quiz question)
Red Pig Mexican Ale by Cerveceria Mexicana (Tecate) (better than expected though a bit odd)
Sun Day by Collective São Gabriel
Redd's Cranberry by Kompania Piwowarska (for the gf really)
Skrimshander IPA by Hopdaemon Brewery (ok brit ipa)

Porter 5 Grain by Partizan Brewing
Single G000-076 by Partizan Brewing

Revusiting Coop Freeminer. Lots of honey (24% according to the ingredients) going on.

Pressure Drop - Bosko IPA. Wow. This is like fresh mango juice with a massive amount of hops. It's on at the Sebright Arms just now.

Yes, Bosko is good stuff. I like their Pale Fire too.

Also had the other Brixton beer - Reliance Pale Ale. They released a fourth on Sat but wasn't in the pub. Look forward to trying it as the other 3 were lovely.

Doing this at the weekend, wanted to do it for ages.

A visit to all of the breweries in Bermondsey. Going to do it the other way round so I can go to Kings Arms for ribs after.

There's 6 breweries down there now I think - check out Anspatch and Hobday too

Anspatch

Partizan

Hmm.. maybe only 5.. I'm sure the guys said 6. Weird Beard were talking about opening up a bar there.

Old Brewery? Meantime? Bit further away in Greenwich.

Yeah thought there were a few more, cheers for the list :)

I'm gonna do a visit to Bermondsey market on the weekend i'm down racing at the Nocturne. I think after would be advisable. I assume it's open Sundays?

Just UTFS and learnt i need to go saturday. A few pre race beers then.

The breweries are open on Saturdays from 11. Meantime do visits sundays at 2pm.

Porter by Founders Brewing Co. 4th
Dead Guy Ale by Rogue Ales 2nd
American Pale Ale (APA) by Tap East 3rd
Raspberry Wheat by Meantime Brewing Company gf's
Torpedo Extra IPA by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. 5th
First Frontier IPA by To Øl winner but should be demoted for £7.50 price tag

Dead Guy Ale by Rogue Ales 2nd

I had one of these on Sat. First had one in New York (#namedropping #watchyourtoes) so was more for nostalgia than anything else. Really nice. I remember Googling it after I first had one and it used to be called something else but they re-issued it to mark the Grateful Dead re-union tour or something and the name has stayed.

^^ Tap East isn't run brilliantly. There is no beer menu, or even a list on the wall of what they have on draught with a brief description/price/ABV.

The American Pale was ok. Maybe too much hoppy bitterness compared to the other flavours present.

Arbor Breakfast Stout (tasty, syrupy), to be followed by Fell Smoked Porter.

Winter still here in ale terms.

F.S.P. massively smokey. Like that cheap plastic German cheese in a sausage shape smokey. Should've had a taster first...

Crate IPA tonight at Crate. Tasted very good but also very different to when I've had it there before on a hundred different occasions.

Crate, y u so inconsistent?

Tap East is awesome in most ways apart from the location. Westfield is a soulless venue (I'm glad I no longer work there) and Tap East would be much more recognised if if were in a better location. Does need a beer menu though as some of the staff are utter cunts at best. I did say most.

Arbor Breakfast Stout.

The oaty one? I remember having a tasty breakfast stout.
