Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

He said 'small scale' :)

Ah but look at what's happening.

Another 'share' release and they are shouting about just how independent they are.

Sounds to me like a perfect way to up the value of the company to enable top dollar prices when they get bought.

You heard it here first! ;)

A bit of Ska for tonight.

Couple of Peroni at work, some rum, now a couple of By The Horns bottles, just to make room in the fridge of course.

Not bad for a lightweight.

Nice.

This goes well with Mince Pies. Switching to Port now. See you on the other side...

I love port so much.

Just popped into the Nisa corner shop at Hither Green on an ice cube mission and they've got a startling selection of Brewdog, Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada, Goose Island and a selection of other "not your usual cornershop" beers in.

De Struise rye tripel, so damn good.

Have been educating my student cousin in beer. Gave her some Jester King Black Metal Farmhouse Imperial Stout last night. My uncle found out how strong it was and would only let her have one glass. Bitch please, this girl sessions on tequila when you're not around at uni.

Today the education will continue with a Brewdog Paradox Heaven Hill and a Siren Mrs Brown. Uncle will be told they are 5%.

I'm having Mikeller's chardonnay barrel Nelson for Christmas dinner, champagne can get tae fook.

I had dead pony club for breakfast as it's below 4% so a soft drink.

My cousin fell asleep straight after Christmas dinner. Fucking amateur.

Haha my wife has just dosed off, I am working though all the beers I have been squirreling away

Started the morning with De Struisse Black Albert (once Id got rid of the champagne), the same as every Christmas morning for the last few years. Had a Double Mountain Hop Lava northwest IPA which was a new brewery to me. Spent £70 in the local craft beer shop yesterday so I'm going to be pretty set for the next couple of days, the half gallon of Odells St Lupulus got me off to a pretty good start last night

I'm going to miss this when it has gone.

The Blackjack Smoked Porter was nice after lunch too.

Just moved onto a Buxton Yellow Belly Sundae, it's incredible. Hop valley proxima IPA before thats, also really good

I have just cracked open a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace I have been keeping, very nice indeed. I haven't actually had anything by Buxton, I really need to.

Had a few pints of Hackney's Smoked Red Rye this afternoon which was decent!

The Sainsbury's Celebration Ale (brewed by Black Sheep) is a pretty good porter.

Moar brewdogs after most of a bottle of red grape beer stuff.

Yesterday had Dead Pony Club, Trooper,some Sainos American Pale Ale, Goose Island IPA, Sam Adams and some Red Stripe

some Red Stripe

keeping it real!

Well I was in Brixton

Hercule Stout didn't quite live up to the hype. It's good if subtle tastes but really lacking the heavy body that a 9% Stout deserves.

Just opened the only cold beer, Brouwerij Kees Just another IPA. I'd somehow overlooked that it was a Belgian IPA in the shop and now I'm thoroughly disappointed. It's only that there's nothing else cold stopping it from going down the drain.
