Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Er you sampled all these while you were in the States?
Before, during or after the 24h ride?

as a precursor to the dvt!

good work hippy
hobgoblin gold. very cleansing/ essential hydration for racing

Yes. Before and after. Mostly after.

Again, why do flights tell you about bullshit like floatation devices for sea landings but not DVT avoidance? Time to sue the airlines...

Canopy Beer Co opening tonight. Classy!

Did you go? I was there until about 6:15. Lovely beers. Here's to much success!

Was disappointed that I had to miss it, but am properly ill with this cold. I think it might even be full on man flu!

Best of luck to @illy and @stelle with it. I need to drop by before Christmas to get some presents.

Yes. Not sure when we arrived. Last to leave, like usual. Drink all the beers! Great setup they have. Hope they do well.

Man flu? What amazing strength you have just to be able to type? I think you might actually be one of the 1%ers who live after man flu. Hang in there!

Just one drop of this in every beer and you will championing the space with absence of gravity too.
The word hangover will became an ancient abstract faded memory.

Week to early for me.

Anyone know any new fangled crafty ale places in Brentford area? edit: Magpie & Crown seems a good bet?

The Brewery Tap is near that. You could check both out and review.

"Stupid pub, I hate this place, who suggested it? Fucking idiot they are"

What's the Kernel Saison like? I don't like them if they are sour at all, but I'm ok with a little yeasty/yoghurty-ness.

Biere De Table Oak Aged Saison

"Sour, nice enough. Not the weather for it!"
3/5

This was one for the missus as she's into sours and malty stuff rather than bitter hoppy beers

"Stupid pub, I hate this place, who suggested it? Fucking idiot they are"

ah, so you know my wife...

Thanks. I've only ever had one Saison which I liked, which was either a Tool or Mikkeller.
