  • 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.

  • The only time I use M&S

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

    anyway back to the beer.. not a bad ipa 

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

    That's a decent session IPA they do.

    Couple of beers I picked up in Norfolk. Pretty decent for session ales
  • 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.

    Pregame drinks before the Bruins game. A beautiful Kriek from the Referend Bier Blendery - Krak. 

    It’s getting much harder to identify Belgian vs US sours. I would have sworn this was Belgian

  • What better way to celebrate a Charlton win and Where The Wild Beers Are than a lovely Cantillon Fou’ Foune

    You have a beer, I'll have the whole damned brewery (almost)


  • Idle Hands is a nice tap room.  Some great beers - Six Seam IPA and of course Charlton Rouge.

    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.

    On my way to Morecambe. Stopped off in Sandbach. Couple of these for lunch. Perfect start to the day.

    Glass needs a clean.

  • Very tangy and tasty, a shame it was only a swift half before the game yesterday.

    Four for £4 in tesco. Great value, and very sessionable at 4%. Nicely hoppy so tastes a bit stronger than it is. I will be topping up.

    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...

    So £7.30 for 2/3 of a pint. It'd be daylight robbery if you hadn't won it back on the main courses - good work!

    Shouldn't make it acceptable, but luckily a work meeting and therefore expensed...
