The old licensee Dave was a legend, he used to go down into the cellar to change a barrel, with a glass for a sample. A few hours later he go would be found fast asleep in the armchair that was down there, having sampled too many !.

The Dispensary in Renshaw Street deserves a shout too. Great ale selection and Zoe the bar manageress deserves her own fan club !

A ginger this good looking and she loves ale too

She's very personable, always seems delighted to serve anyone and happy to chat : perfect barmaid in fact.

It's coming soon. I cannot wait. I need to host a dinner or party for an excuse to buy a crapload of it.

Never liked ale with honey, too sweet for me.

It's worth a shot. Not sure I notice honey, but I love the spices in it. I hate sweets but I love cinnamon.

Spices are OK for wintry nights. The only wine I drink is mulled wine.

Anyone who likes their stout needs to try:

Liquid bloody velvet

Got some of that in the fridge. It's nice stuff.

Last night, a real treat.

Dutch Toffee · October 23, 2015

The Dutch newest beer. Haven't tasted it yet. To be precise the name is an eye catcher. Read it as Scunthorpe beer, without the S and horpe.

Tried the Heavy Seas Winter Storm beer the other night. It was incredibly good and I recommend it if it's available. I used to prefer autumn beers but now I think winter brews are much better.

If you have any of these at home, age the hell out of it. Good for 10+ years! Had a few with a couple of years on them, and it just gets better.

OO.S.A! OO.S.A!

Toast · November 22, 2015

The brewery I worked in won a big award and made a very limited run of ales for staff.
I've one box left, and I'm loathed to drink it, even though it's the utter shizzle.
