    A night of stout
    3 dark ales of varying, not too shoddy for just before payday
    First from far off & exotic Stockport is Unicorn Black a decent enough session bottle and only a few pence from BuMs
    The other two costing slightly more beer tokens
    Chicxulub | Brew Age
    Which is just your everyday ordinary Austrian stout
    Then
    Peated Imperial Stout | Brouwerij Kees

    In preparation of Bristol Beer Week (http://www.bristolbeerweek.com/) starting on Saturday visited a few local hostelries :

    Lost and Grounded Hop Hand Fallacy
    Moor Guardian of Peace
    Moor Stout
    Moor Confidence

    L and G just released their beers and one to watch, lovely light refreshing saison.

    Beer week looks great with loads of events culminating in Bristol's first Craft Beer Festival.

    I've swapped my Sunday Shift for today
    & so after I get home from work tomorrow
    I can have some beer,
    like Saturdays are meant for
    & because Monday is Bank Holiday
    most people can have some beer on Sunday
    like what's I do.
    Just hope I don't feel so drained tomorrow
    as I do now

    It
    Text book citrus tasting IPA
    certainly enjoyable high standard ale
    but the whole isn't worth more than the sum of it's parts
    though I doubt any beer wouldn't live up to that level of hype & expectation
    especially at about £3 a pop

    Solid start to Bristol Beer Week :

    Arbor Super Yakima
    Arbor Lost in Translation
    Arbor Breakfast Stout
    Dawkins The Unrepeatable
    Dawkins Elderflower Gold
    Dawkins Olicana !
    Dawkins Foresters Black

    Solid selections from 2 local breweries, standout, Super Yakima, a ramped up version of APA Yakima Valley at 9.5%. Going to be bottled and definitely one to find.

    Wiper and True Bread Pudding
    Wiper and True Citra
    Siren/Hoppin Frog 5 Alarm

    I moved to Edinburgh from the US this past week, and have been really enjoying the beers you lot make here in the UK! It's a pretty big adjustment coming from the NYC beer scene to a city where cask ales between 4-5% reign supreme, but so far it's been lovely and I've also been really liking the local pub culture.

    I think I had the best beer thus far earlier this evening in Oakham Citra, and hope to find more bitters with a similar fresh assertive hop character.
