I've recently had a few nice pints of Salopian - Oracle. It's perfect on a nice warm day as it's light, smooth and goes down a treat.

Last session of the weekend at L&G. The same....
But different... Pint of 'Amplify Your Sound' black lager, and a half of 'The Parrot Lounge' 8% Imperial Stout, and damn that's fine, its like a Belgian Guinness, superb.

Nay cans for the imp, but they have put a baltic porter off prem. 6.8%
I love the way they've re-purposed the IPL can in an x-ray stylee.

Session IPA ( 4.2%) from Somerset‘s Parkway brewery.
Beautiful stuff, zesty, without being over the top. Had quite a few and no bad head in the morning, which is usually the sign of a good beer.
My lazy Sunday tipple in Sibiu. Not bad.

I’m convinced pints will cost over £10 within the next 10 or so years.
Kind of feels like pub days are very numbered unfortunately.

Lovely beer I had in a Japanese restaurant in Bristol yesterday. It was pretty mild flavoured for 5.5%, which was nice for an afternoon drink.

Regale the ale - Newcastle edition
So they may be home to togger whoppers but 24 hours in geordie land has revealed a fine mecca for cask and keg. Also, maybe its the viking genes but its also home to an uncanny (marra) number of tall, blonde really good looking girls an' all. Incidentally they don't seem to be shy about cleavage either (maybe another viking thing).
Anyways, beer. Far beyond the confines of the gut rot broon, I dropped into 3 fine ale houses and enjoyed some first class libations.
First was Colonel Porters Emporium. An opulent and quirky rum & cocktail bar. I had an ice cold Neck Oil (I was bakin') and a Mount Gay XO Triple Cask, very fine.
After some scran I ensconced in the fantastic Crown Posada, a superb victorian ale house, all tiles, wood and ornate ceilings - home from home for a scouse drinker. I had an excellent NEIPA:
Citrus haze and high ABV, this went down a treat considering I'd mainly gone for it as the clip reminded me of the sexy ginger lass who played Anne Bonnie in Black Sails......
........wandered off there for a minute, sorry.
Listening to the all vinyl soundtrack and scanning the back bar I spy a bottle of Stagg Jr Kentucky bourbon. Well! How much for a shot of that my fine black nail varnished sultry indie barlass? "7 quid babes... 66% mind you, are you having one?" 'Kin right I am girl!' Properly excellent it was. I had a pint of some milk stout as well but I was too trollied to remember to take a photo or what it was, I think it was nice.
After the inconvenience of work I packed the team off on their various trains, but as I'm an older and more wily fox I'd left myself a couple of hours to wander the city and after a lovely sun soaked sojourn up one side of the Tyne and down the other I stopped at the Red House. This magnificent, labyrinthine cove under the bridge is the second oldest pub in Newcastle and an absolute gem. I quaffed thus:
After an enjoyable visit my guard was down, and the canny barmaid used her ample and hypnotic charms to sell me a bottle of the local gin for the lass. It was pricy so it'll please herself I'm sure, and I feel less guilty for the odd sinful thought that wandered across me brain.
Stopped on the train in York with a couple of cold tins, congratulating myself on a job well done.
Anyways, that's my report fellas. Sorry it was mostly about knockers.

I like The Red House and Crown Posada
They're both absolutely smashin pubs aren't they? Will definitely come back for a leisure weekend, its actually quite a spectacular city.I like The Red House and Crown Posada
If you get off the main drag in Jesmond, there`s some smashing pubs around there too.
Yeah, I saw plenty of good looking haunts as I zipped about. Had a really nice brekky in The Flat Cap café this morning as well. Cool city.
As long as you keep away from the hell that is the Bigg Market lol
