UK Weekend Beerage

Thwaites Yule Love It. I do love it, oh so very, very much.....

 

St Peter's Christmas Tits. I mean Christmas Ale.

The beer must have been around prior to it becoming popular in the court no?

 

It was not 'originally' created for the Russian court. The Russians of St Petersburg in general quite liked though. But there was a variation that was apparently brewed for the Empress. And it just would have been referred to as just 'Porter' at the time. The earliest use of 'Imperial' to describe porter likely occurred in the early 19th Century while 'Russian' likely wasn't added until the early 20th Century.

 

Are you saying they made it up as they went along?












Thought so!

Yes it was. Churchill, the big lush that he was. And he had it in for miners as well.

 

Glad you spelt miners the correct way: wouldn't want people to think Winston had it in for minors!

Peroni. Naff.

 

I haven't reviewed Peroni: not that it's a regular tipple of mine. Just assumed I had years ago, I hadn't.

Can you buy single bottles or do you have to get 4 (or 6) in a nasty pack or whatever they call them?

I've seen it by the bottle Tesco in the past. Don't know if it's still sold that way though.

 

BTW, had a Founders Curmudgeon Old Ale last night. Shockingly woeful.

 

My first post, this is what I bought today. I am new to the 'beer scene'
