Troegs Jo-Vi-Al Belgian Dubbel

Good stuff this.

Unfortunately you'll have to wait until late November to get your hands on this beauty, but this Christmas Ale is to die for.

Two Cocks Brewery (quiet at the back!). Leveller Bitter. Very malty and quite dark for low ABV (3.8%). Nice.

Strange Land Sanctum, a Belgian dubbel brewed with plum, liked this very much. No images I can steal, so a generic pic of Strange Land brew

Also really enjoying New Belgium's Portage right now. Very good.

Helping my mate run his beer festival this weekend:

18 beers, not bad for a pub that's not much bigger than my front room!

Finally tried Dogfish 90-minute IPA. Can't figure out what to think, except that IPA isn't really my style.

Yeah, never really enjoyed that terribly much given the rep... and I am an IPA guy. And the 120, was a letdown given the hype and the $7.99 I paid for a 12 ounce bottle.

So the Evertonian who imports Fullers and now Baltika to Paraguay introduced me to some of the craft brewers here a couple months ago. This weekend the Craft Beer Society had their first anniversary party, limited to like 100 people, but one of my new amigos hooked me up with a couple tickets. Had 15 different craft beers. Most were good, better than most of what I can get here... but there were a couple I'd call "Supermarket Good" ... if I saw them at the Safeway in my old neighborhood in Tucson, I'd probably grab a six once a month, even with all the tasty Deschutes, Odell, etc options.

Had Ommegang's 3-eyed raven and Reissdorf Kolsch. Can't remember if either were truly good, but seems that way right now.

Good beer for a good cause, Aurelio from Two Fingers Brewing company. Profits go to Prostate Cancer UK and it's pretty tasty to boot:

Like the look of the pub, right up my street. What's it called / where is it ?

It's called The Victoria mate, it's in Bristol, proper old boozer. There's 5 in the estate along with a 9 barrel brewery.

I've been working at the brewery the last few weeks as well, I'll do a post about it in here when I get a bit more time.

Just looked at the website. It would be a dream come true for me to be involved with a pub like the Victoria
