Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Nice one!

Glad I neck these fairly soon after buying.

Picked up a Rasputin Bowmore Barrel earlier which I'm reluctant to forget about for a few years.

They had Jester King Black Metal too, £27 a bottle they wouldn't take my old Peroni in trade.

Heading into Liverpool later today, probably swing by Dead Crafty Beer Company. Anyone been up that way recently and got any recos?

Dead Crafty Beer Company

Ooo I'm on the docks for Christmas, I will pay a visit, ta!

I've got some BA Sadako's (Beam, Jack Daniels, Heaven Hill) I've hung onto that might get taken over to BIL's for xmas eve, a Siren barleywine too. I don't have that many big bottles left though, most of those went last xmas. I'm justifying drinking all the smaller bottles because they're not as good for sharing :)

Black Lodge and Hard Times & Misery

Thanks!

Oo forgot about the Ship and Mitre and Baltic Fleet too.

Craft Minded at the Cain's Village is OK.
Craft Taproom and Handyman's Supermarket on Smithdown Road are worth a visit if you stray from the city centre.

What time is the Forum meet-up at Hanwell's Weird Beard brewery tomorrow?

You know Perivale Brewery is having one tomorrow too?

Cycled to that place back in the late Summer after seeing a notice too late on a fence post on the lane that goes up over Horsenden Hill and the canal.
What time is it happening?

We've been there a few times (obviously, fucking pisshead). 11am I think it starts.

Also, did you know about http://www.ealingbrewing.com/ ? They do beers for Owl & whatsit micropub but also have a taproom http://www.ealingbrewing.com/#taproom

Ha,
I start the day at Chiltern Open Air Museum,
laying a hawthorn hedge with my conservation group.
We'll work through till dusk,
so my plan was Weird Beard maybe by 5pm.

No, never heard of the Ealing Brewery before.

I'm normally getting dragged out just before they close so I might see you down there.
Wear a red rose in your top left pocket..

I'll probably have a look at Perivale first. Depends how my turbo session goes.

Maybe?

Gluhkriek is delicious

Trying a new one from a local brewery tonight.

Good plan!

Their Baller is a decent ipa. I just wish it came in bigger cans

It was pretty good, seemed small until realising there was seating down stairs too. Reasonable selection, friendly staff and there was a long dog in there for a bit.

Thanks for the review, definitely going.

Some of my beers of the year, mostly South West breweries because that’s where it’s at, and mostly dank and soupy IPAs or thereabouts because I love that stuff all year round

Stupid photos won’t load...
