    Dear friends

    My perfect beer moment - a spring day in the Yorkshire dales, the woods are full of bluebells and the fields buzzing with bleating lambs. The air is thick with the smells of sheep shit and hawthorn blossom. After a good walk in the hills we stumble into an 18th century pub with stone floors amd the smell of the resting winters fire. A pint of - hmmmm what would your perfect beer taste like in this situation...?

    Something brewed in Yorkshire squares, e.g. Taddy Porter.

    It sounds like a farmhouse ale would seem appropriate. :wink:

    Yes - Christmas pudding in a glass - I’ll be thirsty though and maybe that’s my autumn drink.

    Dear friend - I live near the brewery and fish in the river in tadcaster. Taddy Porter is a taste of Yorkshire. Good choice. However - maybe a tad rich after a gruelling walk.

    As said above, any cask Bitter. I better have a book by Julian Barnes, George Eliot, Virginia Wolf, or Charles Dickens with me as well :sunglasses:

    The original post says spring, but this time of year I'd go with Mary Shelley.

    I remember drinking a lot of Theakston Old Peculier and even more of anything from Tim Taylor on cask when I worked in the area. This was many years ago though.

    Threakston's Old Peculiar. Used to get it as far away as Arkansas but can't find it now.

    A tour of the Dales in the fall is on my bucket list.

    I haven't seen Old Peculiar in 6 or 7 years, several stores in my area used to carry it.

    I love the imagery painted in the OP. I hope international air travel comes back soon. Not that I traveled very much internationally but having that option and something to plan towards / look forward to. I miss that. I’m sure others do to.
