    Anyone up their beer consumption over the last couple of Summerish days? And has the weather altered your choice of beer?
    Guilty of both I am having opted for a fair amount of coldish German lager and pilsner since Sunday. Those quads will just need to wait.

    Had quite a nice herbed/tinkered-with pale ale today. Apparently infused with lemongrass and lime leaf. Very refreshing. I've been craving a cold hefeweizen though.

    I've gone through a pump crawl at my local (Altrincham) Ale house (Market Tavern) a bit off of a mixed bag.
    Went in M&S first and got some Lancashire Dark Mild Bottle conditioned and some Southwold dark Ale but wait till you hear what else I found

    how long should we wait? does it have to do with an overpriced bottle of porter?

    And no my consumption is nil as, while i am over the stomach bug, i have picked up a summer cold and am congested and sweating like a fat lass in a disco

    Nope. As a professional alcoholic my consumption remains static no matter the state of our fickle weather.....
    Currently enjoying a Boston lager.

    Continuing my UK beer trend, because more seem to be showing up in my market *and* me going and buying more online, I had a Lancaster Blonde today. Not the greatest brew I've had but it fit well with the weather I'm having right now. :wink:

    Lancaster blonde....it's an eclectic mix you get out your way! I've had the Red from that brewery, but you don't really see their beers around (well, I am on the wrong side of the Pennines).

    Just finished a Fuller's Bengal Lancer and moved on to a Zeitgeist - mmmmm.....

    I had the Red last year and I liked it more than the Blonde but...who doesn't like redheads more than blondes, eh? :grinning:

    Finished off the night and celebrated finishing my last essay with a Williams Bros Cocok o' the Walk. Lovely stuff actually, I could drink a gallon of it.

    Haha "cocok o' the walk" you can tell I drunk it late at night when i was tired, and on an empty stomach. I've been trying more and more Williams Bros beers and they're all surprisingly good, and I have a bottle of Good Times for tonight. I normally don't really like red beers so it was a nice surprise.

    Good Times is nice - haven't had it for a while but I seem to recall that it has a floral elderflower character. Perfect given the weather we're having. It used to be available in Tesco along with 7 Giraffes, but they disappeared a while back (unfortunately). William's Bros punch above their weight when it comes to quality beer.
