Had a couple last night myself, a very local one from a new micro brewery and 2 commerical ales:
Walls - Gun Dog Bitter
Wychwood - Hobgoblin
Wychwood - Festive Cheer
Off out again at midday for the beginnings of our Xmas do, I can see it ending in a north east city in the small hours of tomorrow :)
Will be visiting Booths the weekend after next to get some lovely Lake District beers for Christmas. Snecklifter, Tag Lag... can't wait.
a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet last night. fantastic!
big fruity (juicy pear, ripe banana) aroma and a really deep complex taste which evolved with each sip. very highly recommended 9/10
Participated in a 31 bar 'pub crawl' on Saturday in Chorlton, Manchester.
From what I remember, we had a fair few good ales!
Moorhouses - Blond Witch
Abbeydale - Deception
Marble - Pint
Bank Top - Flat Cap

Nope, it was a proper pub crawl with a strict itinerary!Quote:

Would not have though there was that many pubs in Chortlon. Do a continuous loop of the pubs on the green would be OK though!Quote:
