UK Weekend Beerage

You only have to look at this (posted in the English Mild thread) to see how worthless cicerone certification is.

 

Yeah it has me dismayed for sure! I have other resource regarding Mild in a more descriptive history. So I wonder what went wrong here?

 

I am in wales and have got completely trousered

Not much to drink where I am, although there's a bunch of pubs close together - they are almost all empty apart from a few geezers, it's a bit sad to see really. Friday night and term time in a (small) college town

Have drunk a lot of the Rev James, far too sweet for me really but was in good nick

Green King Black IPA - probably the beer of the night, heading to out of condition though so didn't really want another.

Worthingtons smooth flow. hmm, creamy, cold, bland.

drinking bottles of Marstons pedigree as it was the best on offer other than hobgoblin in the only shop open at 9.

I think the bottled pedigree is more snatchy than the pints I've had before, not saying much though

I know there is a bar across from my inn that sells celt beers but I can't be bothered going across

 

Mmm snatchy.

 

I assume everyone here appreciates a good bit of snatch, even if you don't personally enjoy it?

 

Ooh, I'm going to have to pass that off as my own one day. Can we make it a regular expression on here?

 

Off to Gdansk today for 4 days, looking forward to the microbreweries and decent bars I've looked at online.

 

Rodenbach Grand Cru
Arbor Yakima Valley
Affligem Dubbel
Sadlers Mud City Stout

The Cru an easy drinking sour beer that had the smell of scrumpy to me, altho many liken it to cherries. That's what livin in the West does.

 

I'd drunk there last year, had a couple of of their bottled beers and they were indeed very good. Didn't manage any this trip as last night I was at a birthday party where the best draught was brains smooth, the rest was foster/budweiser/peroni/john smiths. The brains was actualy ok once it had warmed up a bit, must have been a very fresh keg I think

 

My morrisons had a load of stock of the pumpking in when I was in there earlier this week, will look out for that one
