    I'm going to open up with my last I Hardcore You which is THE BrewDog Imperial IPA in my books. Where I go from there is up for negotiation.
    Come on folks, its raining so let's hear it.

    Have an Heretic Evil Cousin (new to me) cooling for after work.

    I wish we had the rain here. Record high temps all across the eastern seaboard and dry as a nun's nasty.

    Looks like it's gonna be the wettest June in 100 years here. Gladly exchange weather patterns for the coming two months if it could be arranged.

    I managed to get I Hardcore You - my local beer stockist got a small supply. Had it ages ago and thought it was fantastic! Hope the new batch is just as good...

    So far I've had a Pilsner Urquell and a Daleside Pride of England. More good beer to come!

    Moved on to an Amarcord Volpina. San Marino has so many beers to pick from.

    You lucky man Bevis. Haven't had Holt Mild in well over ten years now.

    Almost had a cardiac when for a brief second I thought it was The Jolly Angler which had been replaced by apartments. That was close.

    Pub lunch day today , went to a local pub where there were 5 pumps plus Bass on gravity. After a taster from each pump I chose the Bass. Perfect condition, still a classic pint when done well.Beats all these golden ales into a boring old cocked hat.
    Another pub lunch tomorrow , different pub, don't know what the beer will be. But it will be in perfect condition and modestly priced.It always is where we're going.

    Just finished a curry with Stewart Radical Road, a triple hopped pale ale. Good beer. With some tweaking it could be superb.

    I've just started with a Bud 66. Intense, crisp and delicious - it truly tantalises the tastebuds! Mmmmmmmm....

    Sometimes I think I'm trolling myself when I drink brews like that one :slight_smile:
    (and I've still got 3 more)

    Self trolling. Never thought of that. But it pays to drink stuff we normally would never admit too. Helps to keep the pencil sharpened.

    Never mind. I've taken a huge leap up the quality scale and am now quaffing a St. Georgenbrau Vollbier.
