I resisted the urge to ask him about the Australians!
My Baltika went down well after meeting the great man.0 -
Their 'Fog' series of beers are top draw..Vincenzo said:Was at the British Guild of Beer Writers Awards Dinner last night. Our book, Today South London, Tomorrow South London was nominated in the Beer & Travel Writing category - didn't win, but still an honour to be involved.

Glad you found one you like, I've drank a lot and none have blown me away. Also been to their brewery, its little more than one man and his dog....

I'd stay away from rice and quinoa beer, you simply dont get the sugars.
I spoke to the brewer at Siren and believe it or not Soundwave is actually gluten free, its just not been passed for celiacs.0 -
On another note. Best beer I've had this year, of course there are still three weeks to go....but.
The winner goes to Bamburana, a barrel aged collab between Oskar Blues and Cigar City. An imperial Stout coming in at 12%+ aged in brandy and whiskey barrels.
I've brought up every can I've seen as the prices have been super competitive.
YUMMY......0 -
Bloody hell, you get around. Mondo, Abbeydale and Evil Twin are the only ones of those I'd heard of. Nice life you're having!SheffieldRed said:Burnt Mill make some great beers. Big fan of Polly’s.

Thanks @Vincenzo, tend to drink in pubs that a) rotate their beers and b) select their beers with care and taste0

You're clearly a wise man, Sheffield.0

yesterdays offering was Wild Beer Co millionaire salted Caramel and chocolate stout - 4.7%
Found it quite nice but not sure if could drink more than two of them in a sitting.
maybe I'm not cut out for stouts.0 -
Most by No Frills Joe, based in Greenhithe, are decent. Only a few places have it and always goes quickly. They do open their small taproom once a month usually.0

Good to know. Hadn't heard of them before.
Been enjoying the fine work of Iron Pier in Gravesend.0 -
if you are ever in Broadstairs do the Micro pub circuit. Yard of Ale / Four Candles / The Pub / Mind the Gap / 39 Steps / The Magnet / The Chapel - all within a mile ...0

Still running behind

I love Broadstairs...0 -
yard of ale is a converted (slightly) stable - all the micro's in Bstairs are dog friendly as are most of the pubs.

I should also add that I purchased one each of the Siren Caribbean Chocolate Cake series, plus a case of Verdant 'Allen', just to get me through...

Tried all four of them at a beer festival in Plymouth recently. My favourite was the Death by Chocolate, but all were very good. The white chocolate one really surprised me.Charlton_Charlie said:I should also add that I purchased one each of the Siren Caribbean Chocolate Cake series, plus a case of Verdant 'Allen', just to get me through...2 -
No problem with dog friendly pubs and have been to all of them in Broadstairs.Broadstairs_Red said:yard of ale is a converted (slightly) stable - all the micro's in Bstairs are dog friendly as are most of the pubs.
Yard of ale stinks of wet dog and shit though...
Shame as used to be great.0 -
STIG'S YEAR IN BEER 2019
Stig's record for the year
86 unique beers from 73 different breweries (source Untappd)
Best Beer
Leigh Brewery, SS9 9%
Peerless Brewery, Oatmeal Stout 5%
Best Bottled Beer
Old Ford, Export Stout 6.5%
Best Food
The Angel, North Shoebury. All of their food is divine.
Best Service
No change here, Hush in Southend, as ever.
Best Stocked Bar
Marina Hotel, Lagos. Amazing array of gins, whiskies and other spirits.
Friendliest Locals
St Machars Bar, Aberdeen. Sat in there to watch the Cricket World Cup final and got bought whiskies by the locals. Amazing, generous people.
Worst Pub
Saddlers Arms, Cardigan. Beer tasted of pipe cleaner. Not enough places to sit. The dart board was missing and the table skittles broken. Struggled to get out as the furniture was re-arranged so that the floor could be mopped. Other than that it was lovely.
Worst Beer
Belhaven Best at The Abercrombie, Aberdeen. I've had it elsewhere and it was alright so I think it was just in that place.
Worst Pub Food
Vegetarian Pizza from The Twelve Tellers, Preston. The resulting 'Preston Pizza Poisoning', as it will forever be known in our house, made me miss work the next morning and resulted in a very uncomfortable train ride back to Essex.
Most disappointing beer trip
Sagres, Portugal. Because the brewery simply didn’t exist outside of my imagination. I found out that Sagres beer a con big trick so that Heineken can charge premium prices for distinctly unpremium beer brewed 150 miles away from where the label suggests. That'll teach me to get seduced by lagers.

Brasilian lager is not great, but this has a bit of a kick to it.0
