UK Weekend Beerage

Love Old Timer.

 

It went down rather nicely....

Right, I've had a Wonky Donkey and am now on Buxton's Jaw Gate.

 

Drank Clown Shoes - Blaecorn UniDragon RIS as well as North Coast's Old Rasputin RIS.
I then proceeded to fall asleep on the sofa until 3am...

 

Attended a Pete Brown Craft Beer Explosion tasting, we sampled a good few beers
Cask
Magic Rock Ringmaster
Marble Pint
Kirkstall Dissolution
Bottle
West St Mungo
Thornbridge Versa
Ilkley Siberia Rhubarb Saison (most definitely not a Saison)
Bristol Beer Factory West Coast Red
Moor Hoppiness
Wild Beer Modus Operandi
Durham Temptation
Keg
Northern Monk New World IPA
Saltaire Kala Black IPA

Standout beer of the night was Modus Operandi
biggest disappointment was Ringmaster

 

Sleep, eh?

 

Brewdog's Fake Lager (fake)
Kelham Island Easy Rider (easy)

 

after a pointless training session I hit North Bar to sample a few 'Alpha Series' Beavertown Beers, an interesting 'Berliner' Weisse, and average 'Flemish' sour brown and a poor 'Saison' adulterated with Bramley apples.

 

I salute your creativity and resolution in the face of adversity.....

 

Adnam's Old Ale yesterday , couple of pints in front of a roaring fire plus a massive mixed grill to go with it , perfect match and harmony.Ordinary Adnam's Southwold Bitter today, beautifully kept and as good a pint as you'll get for the gravity.

 

Had the Stone/Calledonia IPA yesterday, was guff. Why Stone wanted to get into bed with them I don't know, it just tasted like most other cally offerings.


I like Adnams a lot, they have their own flavour from their yeast and make a nice range of beers. A lot of other regionals could look to them to see how it's done

 

Dorothy Goodbody's Wholesome Stout. Voluptuous.....

 

The stout was rather nice - I'd have that again. Some of their brews are a bit lacklustre but this one was spot on.

I'm now on Salopian's Entire Butt Porter (i like big butts etc. etc.)
