    I know, I know
    maple bacon donut beer
    wrong on so many levels and I deep down realise it will taste godawful
    but I want it like Smeagol wants the ring
    perhaps it's a fetish beer or guilty pleasure ale.

    Yesterday: Tetley Bitter, Guinness, Moorhouse's Black Cat mild, John Smith's Extra Smooth (yuck), San Miguel, Guinness.

    Also ordered a pint of Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, but it was undrinkable and I sent it back.

    Ha, I've had it before and it was OK, but this was disgustingly sour. Should have stuck to keg in that pub.

    Had some John Smith's on cask a while back, though not the best beer in the world it was a decent enough pint and comparing it to smooth shows what kegging does to beer.

    And pasteurization. And nitrogen. So not really (just) kegging.

    Fair enough.Add filtration to the list.But I didn't do this to my homebrews and they all ended up losing layers of complexity once kegged or bottled.Enough to make me give up. Anybody want to buy a full mash brewing setup?

    Put it in a little barrel and drink it quickly?

    I've heard the cask version is better but I've not had it. For whatever reason I find Extra Smooth really unpleasant, much worse than draught Guinness which is the only other nitrokeg beer I ever drink.

    I've just realised that I've been a member of BA for exactly 3 years today! So it seems fitting that I'm about to pen my 1000th review.

    Number 1000 deserves a classic, so Cantillon Gueuze it is....

    Lats night's trip to pick up Rogue's Voodoo Maple & Bacon Donut went just slightly awry

    Stopped off first at the Manchester City Centre Prinkworks Bier keller
    where 2 pints steins of the Haus Bier where slightly malty and slightly wheaty
    and slightly too tempting at £3.60 each with the B.O.G.O.F offer
    this lead to a later than expected departure to travel by train to Macclesfield centre
    and the nearly opened artisan beer shop - Brewtique
    by the time I had arrived had just closed
    BUT it's owner being so devoted to the cause of good ale returned to his shop to serve me

    And how glad I was he did, not only a fantastic range of brews but really competetive prices
    if you can get to Macclesfield Brewtique is well worth a look

    First proper beer session in ages tonight.
    Old bottle of Siren Soundwave - still quite nice
    Buxton jacob's ladder - a cracker at 2.7%, really fruity
    Partizan FES - a yummy and boozy impy
    Kernel 4C IPA - excellent as ever
