Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Took a ride up the river this afternoon before the rains came to check out the brewery and pick up some cans, it's a great set up and well worth a visit.

Cross-post from home-brew thread but you guys might be interested too. I visited an awesome Czech Brewery and drank some awesome beer and brewed some (hopefully) awesome beer.

Got a bottle of 2009 Pannepot Grand Reserve vintage from De Struise today in a gift shop in Ypres.

^This sounds awesome, will read properly when I'm back at the airbnb with WiFi

good read, cheers olly :)

Had a great time in Belgium

Beery highlights: Jack's Precious IPA by Brouwerij the Muskateers, first proper american style juicy banger IPA I've had from a Belgian brewery. Tried a few last year and they were a horrible mish mash of hops and Belgian yeast.

Pannepot 2012 reserva from De Struise - lovely thick and fruity strong dark ale, managed to get the 2009 barrel aged version in a shop in Ypres to take home

Ename - Pater produced by local brewery Roman, is a lower alcohol version of the abbey blond they make. Really zesty and refreshing.

Drinking a Westveleteren up the top of the Paterberg on E3 Herelbeke day.

Going to Beirhalle Deconinck - if you are in the Oudenaarde area go. It has over 1400 beers in stock, we got there just as they were closing for lunch but they took pity on us and let us look around and buy. Thankfully I had a list of what I wanted so didn't take up too much of their time. They also gave me a free bottle opener and much stronger bags to use.

Beery lowlights- coming across a bottle of Cantillon Fou Foune in a beer shop only to see they are charging 65 euros!

Going to Mark Dredge's charity beer night at The Kernel where that will be released a day before :D

In Sourced Market for a few birthday bevvies for Simon. Got some Buxton and Moor on tap.

Just bought Mark Dredge's new book Cooking with Beer. First recipe is coffee stout pancakes mmmmm

Heading to Barcelona at the weekend and hoping to drink more than the usual... Brewdog might be an option but we have ladies in tow as well

Can't remember where I got the link from (may of even been you!) but have a look at The Beeroness.

Tonight at the Hope in Carshalton ;

Found plenty of decent craft beer places on a recent trip and managed to drag the other half in on promises that she'd get sangria and paella later. Wanted to make a trip Edge but didn't make it

Oh my god, that is all ridiculously good. Thank you.

Glad to of been of service.

Sour and delish care of Clapton Craft

It's hard to improve on perfection.... Barrel-ageing will do it though :)

Guess which eejit thought it was this weekend, despite that tweet?

Consoled myself with a can of Roosters/Outlaw Roots Rock Reggae IPA & a bottle of Rübæus by Founders.

Available in 'we brought beer' in Balham for the incredible price of £8.80 - I liked it so much I bought a shed load from Hop Hideout. It's 11.4% so I'm glad it's pricey otherwise I'd drink it all day...

^ Cheers, Hopefully it'll head North.

Kinda related, a nearish place has Grand Marnier Chocolate Orange Stout. Sounds amazing.

If it's the Magic Rock one get it, it's incredible

They had it in Beermoth the other week

If anyone wants a Brewdog temporary discount card, I have one in Paddington.

Ace!

^^^ @Kat_Balou it is the Magic Rock one, would love to try it.
