    Nice selection, had them all except the Double Shuck, never even seen this anywhere.

    Heading to Glasgow on Saturday for the football and gonnae pop into Inn Deep as I saw on their twitter page that they have Longer White Cloud (10.2%), Fyne Ales - Lemeringue, N.O.M.A.D. - Jet Lag IPA as well as their usual selection from Williams Bros. on tap.

    Just popped the Harvest and Marmalade into the fridge for tonight :slight_smile: drink 'em while they're fresh. They also emailed to say they've popped a fresh in the dark we live in the post too, which I can't wait for.

    I had a job interview at the Tower of London today so I felt I needed a pint after. Had some Celt Experience The Lost Antlers "session IPA". Basically an ok pale ale really.

    Anyone had the Tempest Longer White Cloud? Mine tastes fine but it's basically flat.

    The taste is very good at least. Hides the 9% so well. I feel pretty tipsy after drinking the bottle too fast. It's great!

    I've had a bottle before and it's fab, but not tried it on tap. Thoughts are that it did go flat quite quickly.

    Sure it's 10.2% mate, not 9%

    Yep I was thinking of the Marmalade on Rye I also had in the fridge. 10.2 explains a lot.

    Popped into my local bottle shop earlier. The "new, too enthusiastic salesperson" kept trying to sell me beers I've been buying for years, I politely declined. Then he said,"We've got a load of new Brewdog's in today, do you fancy some of them?". Didn't really want to get involved, but he showed me the 6 new Brewdog's they had. I settled for the Candy Kaiser - blandness personified and the Prototype Milk Stout - Feckin' awesome. I'm not a massive fan of Brewdog, but this was thick, luscious and packed full of flavour.

    Siren - Baby Wheel, lovely hoppy, citrus ale,
    Tempest - Longer White Cloud, excellent, if quite flat beer,
    Buxton - Stronge Stout, magnificent dark stout,
    Williams Bros. - March of the Penguins.

    Inn Deep has some fab beers, coupled with a draw with Rangers it's been a good day.

    Had a Tempest Farmhouse Ale which was lovely. Their core beers are probably the best value craft I've seen.
    On to the last bottle of homebrewed pale ale with the best haddock and chips I know of - Chris' in Brentwood.
    Then some bottled stout for dessert. More like the old London style stout Porter, dark fruitiness with a hint of sweetness and just some burnt bitterness in the finish.

    Just supped one of my last bottles of Galway Bay's 200 Fathoms Imperial Stout. Absolutely awesome beer. One bottle left from this year's batch to taste against next year's.

    The Dawkins was a lovely UK hopped barley wine @ 9.7%, that any Belgian producer would be happy to have in their portfolio. Awesome.

    I use to live in Ongar and would regularly visit Brentwood, particularly the Rising Sun for a great pint of Landlord.

    willpower.
    I've been cellaring beer for decades, and try to forget what I've got down there. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be drinking beers up to 40 years old.

    Buxton Double Axe. Yikes.

    Very resinous and piney, but I prefer my American style DIPAs a bit more 'East Coast', or rather, less resinous and more tropical and rindy.

    Tried two of BrewDog's new B-sides (the new name for their Pilot Brew ### programme) and both were spectacular.
    Milk Stout Nitro and Mango/Habanero Barleywine

    I bought a Brewdog Milk Stout on Friday, but not sure it was Nitro, was very good regardless.
