I'm drinking wine that one of the lads brought me last week after I cooked them all lasagne but I think wine has its own thread?
Amber Ales Barnes Wallis beer. Hoppy, named after the locally-born inventor of the bouncing bomb. and very tasty! :)
Off the tablets and drinking again. Kicked off with:
Black Sheep Ale
Golden Sheep
Old Crafty Hen - very rich and fruity, and strong, at 6.2%
Badger's Poacher's Choice
Now deciding between me Hoegaarden or a walk to the pub.
had an ale festival at my local pub this weekend
excellent beer
fuzzy head
looking forward to the ale at newfield inn next Saturday - heard it serves a good pint or two...
4 tins of Newcastle Down to toast life in the Championship:)
Neither in the end, as it came over all black and tipped it down.:(Quote:

Badger Ale - bloody lovely and almost good enough to dull the pain of a return to the real world tomorrow...
Just discovered this thread (where have i been?) and it's such a fine idea...
I've never tried Sneck Lifter - think I might have to nip over to Booths tomorrow to get some in ;)Quote:

PS - I don;t work for them or anything, I wish...
I've got the week off and have been up to Littondale today walking. Did about 13-14mls then popped in the Falcon at Arncliffe for a pint. Timothy Taylor's Best Bitter served directly from the cask. T' was magnificent :):):)
It's on 3 for £4 at the minute.....not that I regularly check on these things!!Quote:

Leffe Blonde:cool:
Nice one! Where do beers like this sit in the grand scheme of things? Not real ale, but obviously not a crappy lager either:confused:. There are some quality continental beers out there, that are perfectly suited to this weather.Quote:

Created a bit of a stir among the oriental tourists, too: following my dog around like the paparazzi, asking to take his photo.:rolleyes:
