Beer, revisited

[summerisle]

Had this tonight, great name, perfectly drinkable but nothing special.

took me 10 years to develop a taste for bitter, after drinking this stuff....

Titanic have done a Grand Reserve variant of the already excellent Plum Porter.



At 6.5% it's got more punch with a slightly bitter, burnt fruit edge. Very good. Not as endlessly quaffable as the reg'lar one mind.

I've yet to drink a Robinson's ale, even when very well kept, that I thought was a cracker.

The best they do imo, is " Trooper ", even that gets a bit boring after two or three.

Robinsons is just dull beer and their pubs very rarely have a guest on too .

Bloody advertising.
Jenning's ales, particularly Snecklifter is one of my favourites. Haven't had it in a while. Robinson's is, oh well, just have the one.

I like Jennings too, but it's a really acquired taste. Lots don't rate it, but it's cracking beer if we'll kept.

Don't like 'em all, do some nice strong winter beers though. One of the benefits of winter is the profusion of 'winter warmers'.

First Class is one of the best 'standard' brown bitters there is. They do smashin pint in The Dispensary.

Treated myself, Mrs. cT and the boy to an Omnipollo Selassie Madagascan coffee and vanilla stout each. 11% and £8.80 for a 330ml bottle, but an absolute treat, probably better than the Yellow Belly, which should be due out soon...can't wait.

The Handyman on Smithdown Road, which to be fair has a really good selection of beers available and a nice atmosphere.

Their pale ale is £3.40 a pint, their IPA (5.5% on tap) is £4 p/p and they usually have at least another three of each of cask, tap and lagers on respectively.

Need to give in there a go, I still thought it was a tool shop up until about two weeks ago.

The marmite of brewers. I'd personally drink lager than drink their Cumberland.

Lol.

Cumberland is one of my favourite beers lol

* not many places look after it properly and that's one of its biggest problems
