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

I agree with Bevis. It does sound fascinating. Recently I dragged the family around the megalitghic temples in Malta and despite the initial moans of discord by the end of it they were actually all rivetted. Archaeological detours are always on the cards when I'm on holiday. And beer and wine runs too of course.

 

You just need to practise your essay writing. Once you do about a dozen or so it'll just be old hat.

 

weekend draws to a close and I think I'll crack open 1 more beer. Been decorating all day but managed a bottle of Kernel IPA - Red on a break a few hours back.

yesterday was a day out at the rugby and on cask I sampled Salopian - Hoptwister, Vale - Edgars Golden, Cairngorn - Roggen (rye), Downton - Mad Hare and Cheddar - Bitter Bully. The Hoptwister and the Roggen were the best of this bunch, Bitter Bully was OK - the other two a little bland.

these were supplemented by a few bottled offerings from Kernel - IPA - Simcoe/Centennial and 1890 London Export Stout and also a bottle of Magic Rock - Bearded Lady (a RIS at 10.5%). All were good pickings!

soon be next weekend

 

I'm a bit of an old dog and just love the sensation of skimming and letting my fingers flip through a fan of pages. No matter how much I embrace technology (and I do) I will always be a digital dissident.

 

Just had the Celt lager - frankly it was a bit shit....something seriously flawed in that brew. Oh well, I've got a Lion stout lined up.

 

You never know everything that's out there. I find that hardly a week goes by where I don't learn about a brewery I hadn't heard of before.

 

To round off the Cannes like weekend weather I'm going to retire with a Rothaus Tannen Zapfle. Notes of it, and many others, coming soon.

 

Nice - I had one of these when I was in Germany recently. A decent brew.

Currently supping on a Lion stout to round out the weekend....
