Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Not as good as the cans I hear ;)

Fair enough! Though it has to be said that some breweries use horrible cans that can't take the pressure of beer conditioning inside.

Not something you'll get with a bottle, unless you seriously screw up the amount of fermentable sugars left in the beer when bottling. Like I just have with my latest beer...

Not as bad as this guy though:

You can take tins into US National Parks, beaches and other nice places where glass is banned.

Cans are also 100% recyclable, bottle caps go straight to landfill.

Haha wow. They're lucky it didn't set off the others though.

I remember my uncle telling me about when they bottled loads of ginger beer and it was under the house. They heard a bang... then later on another bang... and it got more frequent and then they realised it was coming from under the house... the bottles were all popping like popcorn! :)

Cans are also 100% recyclable, bottle caps go straight to hippy's collection

ftfy

Nice - very light, hoppy; drinks like session IPA but 5.9%. Regret not buying more.

Would go well with bourbon chaser - also regret not buying any bourbon.

Good choice.

We had a good time at my gaff on Saturday

Heard good things about Abstrakt AB:21

I got ride of the other two bottles from the 6-pack last night.

Thornbridge aren't a business I would support.

The founder and his wide made millions off government checks for their 'back to work' business A4E, which was basically a scam.

Interesting. That wiki article doesn't mention anything about the hubby being in on the A4E scam though, just her.

Hmm, ok, the DM link says "In 1993, Emma and her husband, Jim, 52, married in Jaipur" so they were together before she started robbing us.

Buxton doing 12 beers of christmas for £30. Front row are all > 6% so I'll probably drive up and grab a couple one night this week.

Worth it just for the Rain Shadow

Link?

Anyone know the cheapest place to get a bulk order of Gamma Ray?
