Beer, revisited

[PhilM]

Remember drinking this ice-cold on holiday in Greece a few years back and thought it was rather nice and refreshing.

So I decided to bring a few back to have in the garden. Bloody hell... tasted like dirty dish water! Just goes to show how the situation can help.

Very tidy coffee milk stout from Mad Hatter brewery, Nightmare on Bold St:



Or indeed Vicarage Rd... Hello!! Hello!! Red & White Shoite!!

I had one of those in my Christmas advent calendar. Shamefully for me, I opened it after a long session so didn't truly appreciate it.

Had a simple pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord this afternoon in the Globe town - nothing flash but consistently a good pint.

Taylor's Bolt Maker is excellent when well kept too.

The problem with Taylor's ales is that a lot of places don't look after it and it can be a bit meh. I don't know if it's hard to look after, but it seems to be quite a common thing ?.

Well kept and it's up there though.

* I wouldn't touch it in the Cracke

Did the Bermondsey Beer Mile on Sat.

Some ace boozers there.

Very fine austrian Pilsener from a small brewery. If you ever get hold of it, try it.
Last weekend I had a couple of Veltins. German Brewery, not everybody's cup of tea though.

As the summer begins its inexorable drift into autumnal hues and turned up collars accompanying regular togger, one can truly appreciate a lazy bank holiday ale or two in the back garden with a good book.



Cheers all my follow hop heads, dark ales by the fireside await....but not quite yet.

Went to the Pen Factory yesterday evening for a few well earned beers and by 9pm there was only Doom Bar left - very, very disappointing.

On the other hand, went to the Handyman's Supermarket on Smithdown which is now a pub/microbrewery and was really impressed by their ale.

It's the same with retsina, tastes like ambrosia when swigged on Mykonos.

When drunk in Walton, tastes like pine toilet cleaner.

San Miguel is the same.

Ice cold on a beach in Spain = nectar

Ice cold in Smokey Mo's = Gnats piss
