UK Weekend Beerage

Now I'm not sure if it was a case of not wanting to call it mild or genuinely meant as a different style but Steam Box's Dark & Handsome is the closest taste to cask Lancashire dark mild I have had out of a bottle

 

I was a bit surprised at Brains dropping the word mild
I thought mild was interwoven with the history of the coal miners
isn't it though?

 

I've gone into great detail where Mild got a bad reputation from
penny pinching landlords pouring beer back from drip trays
With Bitter only bitter could be poured back
whereas dark mild got mild, lager, Guinness hell I've even seen one tosser pour in the cola lemonade drips

but now we have the craft beer/real ale sanctuaries this should be made dim & distant memory
or so rare that its extremely shameful for the perps

plus the fact with these gigantic hop monsters and expresso beers
the subtle, delicate and complex flavours of Mild are needed more than ever
for real contrast.

 

Nervous tick going on here
Revisionist Rye Pale Ale
surely it can't get worse than the Red & Dark IPA

 

Well that was just above average
and almost enjoyable though not a full on Rye beer

Going to go for
what I reckon will be the toughest challenge for Marston's
Revisionist Saison Beer

 

Okay taste
the saison and farmhouse and continental hops are there
but like a lot of the revisionist line is watered down
in the Saison case it is like its been diluted with cheap macro fake pils rather than mineral water but there is a random Marzipan aftertaste
so even though it's far from a good Saison
bearing in mind the rest of the line it could be a whole lot worse.

Right If I have one more revisionist beer there will be only one left for future tasting
so going to take on the Hefeweizen
a style I could take or leave till some tasty Thornbridge version

in any case I expect dull things and have a beer treat lined up after.

 

Right
to be perfectly blunt
let's fuck this revisionist bullshit right off

I need proper tasty beer
Buxton Imperial Black

 

Giving the Revisionist Californian Steam Beer evil looks
it sits there
is it an Anchor piss take?
will leave it for tonight and try this Quantum mild

smells like fresh bread dough.

 

Tesco/Marston's
Revisionist Californian Common Steam Beer
Shit beer for a crappy day?

Tastes just like Carling
