This Weekends Beer Mk. IV - Spring's Here!

So far it's been a Green Flash Imperial IPA. Slightly weathered but still very drinkable despite the murkiness and lack of definition. Will need to find something even more flavoursome to go to the next level. Maybe a Paradox or a quad of some description might be in order. I'll need to check.

 

Got a Riggwelter, some Spitfire, Hopping Hare and a couple of Belgians lined up.

 

Am waiting for a grocery delivery which has called for a bit of fridge cull to ensure there's space for everything. So it looks like I'm going to be swigging Tesco Finest Belgian Abbey beer because its a bit of an expendable.

 

Have had both the Magic Rocks in the last month down the Cask on cask and keg respectively

HC was excellent although I didn't enjoy the 8 ball as much I thought I would (although still a decent beer)

Republika - now you are talking!

 

and onto new business

popped to the Kernel yesterday lunchtime and parted £40+ to the good brewers (last time in the current premises btw - they are moving up the arches slightly further out of town by 3 or 4 minutes at the month end)

Just opened (and supped) 1 year brewery aged 2010 Centennial IPA @ 9% ABV

HEAVEN !!!!!

 

Because 'all lager' isn't produced by small breweries who care about beer and spend 8+ weeks producing it (6 weeks lagering alone on Republika!)

Not read this yet but though it may interest you (picked it up via their FB page) ... a comparison of the Conquerors!

BTW - glad the Republika doesn't seem to be a "disappoint" after me bigging it up so much!

 

Nope. Haven't seen it in a while. Should be back in a week or two now.

 

I reported that error about a week ago, has it still not been changed?

 

Tesco Finest Traditional Porter Is this Harviestoun Old Engine Oil or am i thinking of another rebadge?

Drinking nowt as i feel ill and im up at daft o'clock

 

Evening all! I've had a Cobra and am currently drinking Badger's 'England's Gold' - it's actually rather nice, if light (I've found many Badger bottles to have cloying levels of diacetyl). Got a Lakeland Gold and Brewdog's American DIPA lined up for later....

 

Just the 2 beers tonight 2nd being a Kernel India Pale Ale - Black Rye

good tackle

up the Quins 2mmrw so befores and afters in the Sussex and there is a 'GK' beer fest at the Quins Head (in the Stoop). Can't say I'll be overly tempted unless the GK mild is on!

 

It wouldn't surprise me if it takes a while for stuff like that to happen at the mo. I imagine the site admins have their hands full with the integration process.

Yup, this is Old Engine Oil (there was a thread about it ages ago). Damn good brew! Maybe having one will make you feel better?
