Tonight's Real Ale

Got some Cottage Brewery (Somerset) "Harrier" on. A 4.8% er with a lovely taste, likely to have gone tonight though. Abbeydale Brewery "Deception" waiting to take its place. Farmers "Brown Cow" waiting for the Farmers "stout" to be finished. Clarks "Midwinter Mistletoe" on stand by when White Rose "Beyond the Pale" goes.
Always been interested in drinking real ale but, since taking over the pub, am amazed :D at how many micro breweries there are producing some very palatable beers.

Bears, only for real men :D

Shloer for me :(

I think I may treat my self to a RA, I've not had one for since Christmas

I've been 2 consecutive nights on Heineken now and i'm pleased to report an absence of the trots, often experienced after the consumption of cheaper lagers and accompanied by Foster's farts in some cases.

:rolleyes: ok ok stop it now! :D

2 pints( I was driving :( ) of Taylors Landlord in Plumbums pub the Huntsman. Excellent night with live music from Crazy Crow who are 50% Dark Peak.

And plenty of free food put on by Andy. Thanks for a good night out.

My carb loading tonight consists of two bottles of Spitfire and one of Riggwelter... there was no Old Speckled Hen or OP left.:(

Still no booze for me, for 3 weeks now :eek: going out for a meal tonight - that will be a test :o

Gunna make a snide trip to the offy later for some well deserved beverages!

Picked up 3 Bulmer's, 2 apple, 1 pear, and 3 real ale bottles, Deuchars, Badger Golden, and Wychwood Wychcraft :)

Not bad out of the bottle I must say!

Had a couple of pints of something by Tirril brewery in my old local after a walk this aft.

Pint of Red Fox Coggeshall Gold after bat run last night.

Abstaining tonight :(

Getting lashed tomorrow night though, yay :)

Well, had a cracking day of Ale yesterday.

Started off with 5 bottles, which were

Deuchars
Spitfire
Directors
Wychwood Hobgoblin
MarstonsTangle Foot

Then went out to a couple of pubs and had pints of

Phoenix - Arizona
Osset - Silver King (still the best ever :) )
Hopstar - Dizzy dally
Hopstar - JC

and one more I've forgotten!

:)

I'm resting atm :o

After realising I had twice as many posts on this thread than anyone else then seeing how many empties I had to take for recycling I decided to have a few days off ;)

Daily pint? Looks like you're in credit 'til middle of next week :p

I've always enjoyed going to the pub but seem to have developed habit of drinking most nights at home. Not huge amounts but more than perhaps feels right. Not sure what's worse 2 or 3 pints per night or a weekend 'binge'?

Thing is in the summer I'm much more likely to go out for an hour's walk or bike ride. Roll on the light nights and a pint outside the Fleece watching the swifts zoom by :cool:

I'd have thought brandy might be more appropriate or a dram of whiskey given it's gonna be taters!

Actually treating myself tonight, not been drinking at all really, the odd 1 maybe once a fortnight - bottle/pint that is not gallon! :eek: anyway, having an iced cold pear cider....just a wee one mind :) quite pleasant it is too...only had a couple of sips and the cheeks are feeling flushed already, I've become a very cheap date! :o

Currently got a bottle of Bulmers Pear cider open as well hehe, I forgot to mention I had a couple bottles of normal Bulmers yesterday too :)

I have a fair few, but never drink it after 4-5pm otherwise it interferes with my sleep a bit :eek:

Ale on the other hand, is the perfect sleep activator :cool:

Night night

Tonight, oh tonight.,..

Well I started off with

Osset - Blonde Ale
Rudgates - Jorvik Ale
Timothy Taylors - Lanlord
Caledonian - Deuchars
Hopstar - Lush (Probably the best Ale you'll ever drink, trust me!) :)

It was with much regret that I had to leave Plum Bums pub tonight.

I finer pint of Farmers Pale Ale (AKA Rescue Ale) I have not had. A lovely drop. But alsa I was driving:(

Cheers:D
