    Peterborough beer fest.

    Thornbridge baize, a chocolate mint stout. A bit shit.

    St Austell smugglers vintage ale - good.

    Bexar county dark side of the cherry moon - so so

    Green devil IPA - 850 times better on cask than keg.

    Salopian polygraph - very good indeed.

    Never had the keg version. A "beer bar" was trying to sell it for £5.50 a pint when the cask version was £3 along the street. Why bother?

    Indeed. What irks me is that I've never seen it on cask at their flagship pub in Peterborough. And they serve it half frozen. In fact I hate their whole keg line up. Kraken's Ink on cask was an amazing stout. Why they had to turn it into an insipid black IPA I will never know.

    I am investigating the possibility that
    there is an unopened,
    until now forgotten about,
    three year old bottle of Samuel Smiths Imperial Stout
    somewhere in my home
    hmmmmmm?

    Right to the ales & beers I have at hand
    Cave Creek Chilli beer
    (I got mixed up & bought it thinking it was something to do with @cavedave )
    but no, the bottle says Mexico :grimacing:
    but on BA says Chili Beer Co.[​IMG]
    Arizona

    Twist off cap eh? Lot of ticks on the ol' shit list here

    McEwan's 80/- rebadged & extra hopped
    Rusty reddish body off white head with nearly full coverage
    Copper, candy floss & grain on the aroma
    The flavour or lack imagine a fruit tea that's beer flavoured & served cool in a cup that hasn't been rinsed properly of soap that is what the stewed under powered hops do
    it's solid on mf
    this is not a step forward

    Bigfoot (2014) by Sierra Nevada

    All in all a nice wee night.

    Cornish Lager Part III
    Harbour Pilsner
    I can see why Cornwall's brewers make these
    to try & get some trade from lobster coloured big brand drinkers
    fair enough Sharpe's Cornish Pilsner & St. Austell's Korev
    were more Czech Budvar than Anheuser-Busch Budweiser
    but still quite dull & pedestrian
    This a bit more Hacker-Pschorr Munchner
    mixed with good clean Cornish sea air.

    I Love You Will U Marry Me?
    by Thornbridge brewery
    Blonde Ale made with strawberry
    tastes like strawberry cordial made with too much water
    should actually be called 'I kind of like you but I want to talk to my friend now'

    Duvel
    Not quite a Smirnoff ice with a cigarette butt
    but a similar purpose

    Surprise early pay day thanks to the bank holiday plus a day off so I'm heading out to tour the public houses of Richmond and redistribute some wealth.
