Risking a lynching but.....Interesting one... real unpasturised Czech style lager brewed in Taddington near Buxton... worth a try to see what lager should be like.

I would give it a go. Lagers which are brewed properly can often be palatable
I was really impressed... normally can't stand the stuff.Quote:

I've had a couple of pints of Brew Dog 5am Saint
Jaipur is the best beer in the world - but Saint is nearly as good

500ml of Hawkshead Lakeland Gold.
Today's a rest day before Pendle, so I'll get 5 gallons of Coniston Bluebird on the boil. Need to build up some stock for Christmas, a task made more difficult since someone creeps into the house every night and takes half a gallon.
Excellent news. Stopped off at Mozzers this morning to pick up supplies (sold out of Punk IPA) and got several 5am Saint, a couple of Trashy Blonds and a couple of Sierra Nevadas (green). Looking forward to sampling the 5am them even more now!Quote:

No, but I'll be looking for it!
A group of Abbey Runners will be in attendance at the Otley beer festival tonight at the rugby club. Get there early before Daleside drinks all the ale :angry:
Might be tempted for Saturday, post Pendle recovery session. Looks like a good show:

Usually see a few P&B + Otley AC folk around too on at least one of the nights.
A word of warning BL, last time I went on a Saturday they were running low - ask Daleside as by the time she arrived she had a choice of about 4 ales only (or so it seemed).
Thanks for the heads up. What will probably happen is I'll get back from Pendle, lob a duck in the oven to roast and settle down with some Shropshire Lad (the beer not an acquaintance) for the evening.
Badger Fursty Ferret. Lovely.
went with Sierra Nevada this evening. very nice. rich and fruity.
saving the 5 am Saint unitl after my Harrogate Ringway run tommorow. (not quite the FTOP!:p)
Geltsdale Beer - 1 Hell Beck last night !,

just back from my 20 miler and about to crack a 5am...........
I'd agree that Jaipur is superb but there are several similarly brilliant hoppy full bodied beers in the US!Quote:

We all got a bottle of Conwy Brewery ale at the Pen race today!
Castle Rock Harvest Pale very refreshing after a long run today.
more 5am Saint, after near death experinces at the hands of Harriers vs Cyclists
I can't afford to drink 5am Saint! £1-80 for a 330ml bottle!!! It's not that good!Quote:
