Couple of Gertie Sweets last night down at the Collie and very nice they were too!
Just found this thread and feel it's something I could contribute a lot to!
Couple of bottles of Goose Island IPA, very very good (for an american beer)

Blackout from Cropton Brewery.
a lovely smooth porter, bottle conditioned. quite light for a darkie.
looking forward to whatever Copper Dragon is on at the Red Lion on Saturday.
Was in Pooley Bridge for last weekend, and had a few decent pints, pretty run of the mill stuff, usual Jennings caper, TT Landlord, Robinsons Dizze Blonde, and another one I can't remember.
On a similar note, stayed up in Braithwaite at the end of July, and had some crackers there, the one that stood out was from the Keswick Brewery, the aptly named Thirst Ascent and Thirst Quencher, highly recommended.
They also had another good one on called, Boon Doggle, another one not to be missed.
Off out tonight so will report back on any decent ones I have tonight... :)
Good choice DT :thumbup:Quote:

No real ale for me tonight - I am on the Pimms and lemonade :D
Daleside Blonde, very paletteable
and
the rather non real ale drink that is pink champagne! i was at a wedding
Not really much on offer down here, unless you like Bank's ale!
The only guest was a good one though Wychwood - Wizard's Staff.
UPdate from last weekend.
Draught
Cooper Dragon - Golden Pippen. my all time favourite, even managed to persuade the wife to have it as the 'welcome drink' at our wedding!
Leeds Brewery - Midnight Bell. dark as you like, mucho burnt chocolate flavour.
Bottle
Jennings - Cumberland Ale
Cains - Raisin Beer, give it a try. good with the curry I had.
Tim Taylors - Landlord
Had a day out in York yesterday - fantastic pub crawl, just the 8 visited. :D Most impressed. Need to go back soon and do another one, for the pubs not visited!
Just the 1 for today - Badger Golden Glory - part of the 3 for £4 at asda. Nice. 4.5%.
Last week:
Hopstar - Lancashire Gold
Hopstar - Alien ?
Osset - Silver King
Bowland - Gold
Jennings - Crag Rat
couple of others I can't remember
This week had to settle with some bottles last night of:
Wychwood - Hobgoblin
Yates - Bitter
Thwaites - Wainwright
that is one of my current favourites, would love to try it on draught but fear I may have to travel darn sarf to sample it.Quote:

Was out in Manchester on Friday night, and discovered my old local was now serving real ale.
Stayed on the one ale, which was Bank Top - Flat Cap.
A very nice pint, but ended up supping at least 10 pints of it, resulted in very bad head on saturday :)
Went to inaugural Cononley beer festival on Saturday evening. Very informal and great fun. I've lost my tasting notes, but Saltaire Cascade was most popular on our table, with Ilkley's Mary Jane a decent second best. Sadly there seemed to be a lack of hoppiness to several of the offerings :rolleyes:
Wow! I didn't realise it was the inaugural Cononley beer festival!! I'd have made more of an effort to drink more if I'd known that! :thumbup:Quote:

Sounds great Brotherton Lad. No real Ale for me tonight, shame really
BOttled beer last night. Saltaire Brewery: Triple Chocoholic! felt a bit ill afterwards, almost like eating a chocolate cake!
off the ireland for the weekend, so I suppose I will have a few pints of Guiness

Just Guiness this weekend. but proper oorish Guiness, left to stand half way through pouring and the barman was taking bets on the horses! Ma Bakers Carlingford.
1 pint of Rescue
2 pints of Old P
Almost bed time.
A steady 4 pints of Ramsbottom, even if it is still a little green.
A gentle recovery after 12 hours of Regimental reunion yesterday. We even managed to attract a passing street band of brewers from Maastricht over in York for a musical weekend to come and play for us, though they'd never heard of 'Ilkla moor bah't 'at'.
I was drinking this---> http://www.castlerockbrewery.co.uk/site/?p=2892 last night. Very very nice :thumbup:
I had a big bowl of cheese savouries, washed down with a bottle of St Peter's Best whilst watching Downton Abbey. A perfect Sunday night in! :thumbup:Quote:

Ramsbottom all gone tonight.
4 gallons of ESB stood by for boarders next week (had to drink some for quality contol purposes) and 5 gallons of a Bass clone coming to the end of primary fermentation in reserve.
I could do with a couple of ales watching the footy.... Shame the nearest Booths is nowhere near here!

Dunno, but Morrisons is nearly as good as Booths and they do Jennings, Everards Tiger and my current fave, Thwaites Wainwright.:thumbup:Quote:
