Having picked up my Trillum order, next stop Lamplighter to get my two subscription bottles. While I’m here I tried the Eminence Front, which is a superb blended sour.

Nice glass.
IKEA sell a very similar looking glass as a wine glass (unbranded of course)

One of my reasons for Fridays Trillium visit was to pick up a couple of bottles of Trillbomb. A collaboration with Prairie Artisan Ales. Very smooth, not too boozy which is my criticism of most Trillium Imperial Stouts.
Part 2 of the Trillium pick up - Double Barrel Wild Sinister Kid. A wild ale aged in bourbon and red wine barrels. Weighing in at 15%, it’s a sipper, but it’s beautifully smooth, mildly warming and not over sour. A thing of beauty.
Part 3 of 3 - Lamplighter Luminary V for 2021. Another wild ale, this time a porter. Very reminiscent of original Rodenbach Grand Cru pre Palm takeover.
Now this has got nothing to do with beer, but my father always told us he only had one lung. He’d been wounded at Dunkirk, and had the scar to prove it. Late in his life he had digestive problems, but the doctor’s couldn’t find anything. Finally they told him the only thing left was to do surgery to see if the could see anything. I assume MRI’s were not a thing.
So they did the surgery, and they told him the still couldn’t find anything unusual.
“Apart from me having only one lung” my father said. To which the doctor replied “No, you got two lungs, but you’ve only got one kidney”.
Interesting one this - a Gose (not gueuze) with peach. Very lactic, salty, and a sour peach flavour. Feels like tangfastics or similar. One is plenty but I'm enjoying it.
One for the Guinness purists and @guinnessaddick. Poured at the Leonardo Hotel Tower Bridge. This was my second pint. The first was served in a Peroni glass. It took the barman about two and a half pints to serve one. I shouldn't really have accepted it but it was great comedy value.
Luckily I had the benefit of being in Dublin last week as well, and enjoyed several more correct pours.
And a warning: shared a can of Aldi cherry lager, a Williams brothers offering, with my next door neighbour a couple of nights ago. Utterly vile. Bizarrely, it smelt and tasted of bath soap, imperial leather to be exact. Learn from my mistake, kids, and don't share beer with my next door neighbour.

Do you remember how much they charged for that abomination?

£6.50 plus 12.5% service charge.
We also had lunch there, which was equally amusing. There were 4 of us eating, and they served us 6 main courses - we were the only people in the restaurant. I didn't need pudding...

A cracking pint, a shame The Railway in Bromley charge £5.80

On my way to Morecambe. Stopped off in Sandbach. Couple of these for lunch. Perfect start to the day.
Very tangy and tasty, a shame it was only a swift half before the game yesterday.
