  • So this will may offend your sensibilities. Tripping Animals Magic Hydra - 6% fruited sour, mostly raspberry and blackberry but with marshmallow. It was really tasty, not too sour, but could really have done with some cream, a straw and a cherry on top. 

  • Didn’t have time to post this before the game - too busy talking bollocks in the bar. Fonta Flora Darwins Forehead. 4.5% salted porter. A nice easy drink, lightly roasty but no ideas where the salt was involved.

    I bet you would not be able to drink too many of these.  It looks nice.

    It was - I could drink a few of them if I wasn’t obsessed with trying new beers all the time. It really was like drinking dessert. 
  • What's the difference between Honey Beer and Meade?

     Mead is fermented honey and water. I don’t think that it requires a boil like beer does. 

    With honey beer the honey is just a flavoring ingredient. Beers alcohol comes from the sugers in the grain, meads is from the honey.

    In Istanbul for the Galatasaray v Elfsborg game on Wednesday.

    The Efes is not great but I do like the cup.
  • New draught ale from Marlow’s Rebellion Brewery…with a name like that, it could have been made just for me.

    It doesn’t look like he drunk too much of it anyway. More of it on the bar than in the glass.

  • WTF is that?
  • 8 hours putting together new sectionals, so I think I earned this one. Trillium DDH Melcher Street. 7.2%, smooth beyond belief, quite fruity from the Mosaic hops, but with decent bitterness. 

  • WTF is that?
    What's it say it is? It's a grape & lime pale ale special edition Halloween release.


  • Watching the Patriots, hoping they don’t mess up and win, before this afternoon’s Bruins game, while basking in the glory of a win over Southend, I grabbed this at the bar - 3 Floyd’s Brewing Crushing Mass. Double coffee imperial stout weighing in at 15.1%. I was expecting it to be a bit boozy, but it’s not. Smooth, plenty off coffe and a dry finish. Very pleasant, but definitely just the one. It only comes in a 5oz pour, and my magic beer price converter tells me it’s a mere £29.74 a pint.

    So that's a very expensive stain on the napkin.
  • That's got to be a laxative!!
  • I honestly think I would go teetotal if our prices got anywhere near that for a pint. Imperial stout or not, I'd resent every mouthful. 

  • Come across this in a supermarket here in Gran Canaria, has Lyle gone into the brewery trade?
  • anyone here on the Untappd app?

    Yep, been using it for years, probably my favourite social media platform!

    £1.80 for this :'(

    This is worse than what I drink in Brazil ffs.

    However, I pay £1.50 for 60cl, rather than 40cl
  • Popped into the Wheatsheaf at Borough Market on Friday night with the Mrs before we met our friends for dinner.

    One pint of Neck Oil
    One double G&T...

    £25.30.

    I'm still wincing now.

    Same here. Really useful when you run into beers you don’t know. The crowd is rarely wrong in the consensus ratings. 
  • Up in Maine for Portland Beer Week, and first up is this beauty, and throwback to some comments a while back. 

    Sacred Profane Smoked Dark Lager. 4%, and does what it says on the box. This is a nice variation on their normal dark lager - it’s not super smokey, but it’s definitely there throughout.

    looks like the stuff in Ghostbusters 2

    Guinness are marketing geniuses, aren't they?

    Met a mate for a drink after work last night and there were a group of about 7 or 8 20 something blokes in there all videoing themselves trying to 'split the G'.

    8 pints sold to people trying a Tiktok trend, and they all drink about a third of the pint in one so probably need another one quick.  Plus you've then given a whole generation a fondness/taste for Guinness.

    Just as Brewdog with Black Heart, Forged etc try to muscle in on their share of the market, the whole 'Splitting the G' thing blows up.  Really clever.

    Guinness have always been marketing geniuses. They’ve convinced people worldwide, that their fairly average stout is the best beer ever. It’s not even the best stout in Ireland (my opinion). It’s not bad, it’s just nothing special, and generally served way too cold for a decent stout. 
  • So it looks like dark lagers are becoming a thing, even Bissell Brothers have one now - One Little Stone. Not bad, 5.5%, but not as good as Sacred Profane. Not quite as malty, and a bit too fizzy. Luckily the Sacred Profane taproom is next door to Bissells, so I can do a proper comparison. Tough job, but someone has to do it.
