Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

So, the beers I will no longer buy or place I will no longer buy from are:
Brakspear
Batemans
Enterprise Inns (EI Group)
Greene King
Marston's
Mitchells & Butlers
Punch Taverns
Star Pubs & Bars

It would be handy if we could have these automatically "shit listed" on Google Maps.

My shit list has been growing for weeks!

My shitlist is so long I can only shitlist the last week's worth anyway.

Do you ever pick up the London Drinker? It usually has loads of articles about the problems with pubcos. Always very informative.

Yeah, I used to. My local used to have it. But I stopped going to most boozers that had copies so I've not seen it in quite some time.

BD Sweet Disposition (overworks x Tool) pretty decent sour.
BD Jack Hammer nice bitter USA IPA

Love Jack Hammer.

And on Brew Dog - free beer: http://www.brewdog.com/uk/whenallofthisisover

As well as Cloudwater and Shindigger ads I've seen Pomona and ABC vans delivering local. Put an order in via my LBS tonight though as I'd like them to open again after this has all blown through.

Then I went to
BD Off-Duty King, BA Stout
Cassels Double Cream Milk Stout

15hrs turn around on my order. The weekend plan is sorted.

Grissette wasn’t too bad but wouldn’t buy again.

8min to put some pants on for the last meeting of the day. Bets on how many seconds into the meeting I crack the first beer?

You've cracked one prior to putting pants on obvs

8min to put some pants on for the last meeting of the day.

Pics or didn't happen.

Both wrong.

Still sitting in towel. Meeting has started. No beer.

Bugger. I messed this up.

Pants on

Looking at beer menu...

(aka BD packing list)

Well done.

Fucking Facebook quick on the algoriddims.

Thankfully not the semi-naked hippy ones though.

21mins in, cracked Stratospheric and meeting immediately finishes.

Goose Island beer is poor

Depends. Some of their bars have a micro-sized brewery in the back. This time last year I had a couple of pints in the one in Shanghai and was quite happy with them. That said, it was pissing it down and I'd just finished a couple of meetings with IP lawyers so maybe drinking meths would have made me happy too
