Beer, revisited

[ste d' indica]

To make things even worse, I’ve just found out that the exterior has been pebble-dashed and painted magnolia

There’s murder going on over it, with a lot of fingers getting pointed at the Lake District National Parks Authority, who so far have remained silent.

Not a good look.

Not a good look.

Once the website is up properly, I’ll post pics of the carnage that’s been done to the place.

Only just noticed that the Black Lodge brewery from Liverpool has a brewery tap in West Kirby. Made me miss two buses ; apparently it's been open 18 months and I was oblivious to it. They had various gubbins on, I had :

It was very, very nice.

During my perambulations I also forced myself to have : Peerless Lone Rider and Liitle Eye and this, a brewery which I haven't come across before. A nice solid bitter, with undertones of something which I couldn't quite recognise - forced to have another but alas, still none the wiser. A session ale but there's no shame in that, extremely tasty and drinkable.

Alvin , Imperial Pastry Stout 12.5% abv from Basqueland Brewery. At Birritas en Latitia in Benalmádena, recommend place for a pint if you’re heading this way.

Sneck Lifter is firmly ensconced in my top 10 beers of all time

Lovely stuff when served at the correct temperature. Like most Aussie beers though, it is too fizzy.

Has anyone got one of those Perfect Draft things and are they any good? More specifically, i have seen you can get a mini keg thing of Tripel Karmeliet for them, does it come out tasting as nice as it does from the big 750ml bottles?

I`ve used the mini casks of various real ales before and they`re good, as long as you use all of the ale pretty quickly.

Only ever used them for real ales though.

Perhaps a bit anathema, but lately I've been drinking these NA-brews along with alcoholic brews. A few of our local breweries sell them along with their own brews, so I can alternate between them during extended sittings. The Free Wave and the Run Wild are great. These guys did their homework and have managed to assemble some great NA beers.

Trying to stay off ale me...don't know why I come here because it makes it ten times worse.

Pillows a hazy pale ale.

I was delighted to find this on, haven't had it in ages. It's funny, the memories that beer can evoke so many memories, very warm and fuzzy. All beers under 4%, taste sometimes beats strength.

For a pale ale, this was incredibly creamy, the sort of pint where the first sip is a third of a pint.

I also had this, nice, tasty and like a bag of chips at the end of the night.

You don`t often see Wherry around here, where was it ?

That Salopian Gold is like nectar when it`s looked after.
