A bottle of Tag Lag last night. Lovely stuff.
two cracking bottles last night, both Sierra Nevada.
Stout . chocolate and malt. 5.8% (7/10)
Celebration IPA. lovely hoppy flavour. 6.8% (8/10)
After a long walk yesterday finished off in the Boltmakers Arms in Keighley town centre. The entire Timothy Taylor's range please !!:w00t:
Sunday's walk finished in The Anderson in Fortrose, for 2 halves of a very strong Belgian Tripel beer. Blimey it went down well. A new regular pub I fear......
Hardknott centurian or 2 :)
my irregular trip to the awesome BeerRitz (in headingley) has yielded a divine brew (and a highly average one).
Thornbridge - Raven (9/10). a BLACK IPA (?). don't let the mixed beer metaphors fool you, it really is an amazing brew. can't wait to stumble across it on draught, pity I only got 1.
Kernel - Delta/Chinook Pale Ale. (4/10) just got the feeling it had more to offer but never quite got there. smells lovely, but doesn't deliver on taste.
a study in mediocrity!
St Austell - Proper Job (5/10) an average brown booze beery affair. nothing stood out for me
Brewdog - Alice Porter (5/10) a disappointment, having raved about every other brewdog I found this thin and watery with nothing to redeem it in the flavour department
You might be interested to know that Brewdog are apparently opening there own bar in manchester.Quote:

Tescos Finest American Double IPA. Brewed by Brewdog and is the same as their Hardcore IPA but in a different bottle and the real bonus it's 60p (at least) a bottle cheaper and on 3 for 2 at the moment, making it a bargain £1.30 a bottle.
cheers!
I have to disagree there, Aberdeen is no distance at all! Well.. it wasn't when I was working there on company expenses! ;)Quote:

Victory - Hopdevil - 9/10 . beautiful. everything was great, colour, smell, taste
Hardknott - Infra Red - first half 6/10, second half 7/10. flavours got much more mellow and complex the further down the glass I went
Buxton Brewery - Axe Edge - 7/10
Stone Brewing Co. - Ruination IPA - 7/10 - very dry and bitter but very hoppy. lovely colour. seemed very thick
Couple of bottles of Special Oatmeal Stout from the Coniston Brewing Co. It ain't Guinness but it ain't bad:thumbup:
Just been prepping to move for Coniston tomorrow night.Quote:

I have placed my order for a pint of Harvest Pale already, for 20:15 on the dot. If the train home gets delayed I am screwed (or rather, my dad'll be very drunk by the time I get there).

So so tonight...
Hopstar - Dizzy Danny

http://www.arrse.co.uk/cookery/16645...al-men-11.html
3 pints of something called Angel up near twice Brewed, very drinkable and..... from the night before I was introduced to something called "Desperado" very dangerous!!!! I had 4 bottles on top of 2 pints of Ale followed by a sore head.
Dropped into the first Northallerton beer festival this afternoon...around 20+ quality local ales on.
:)
Would that be the desperado wich is beer and tequila? If so, it's nasty stuff and i thought they'd stopped making it ages back.... Far to easy to drink too many of and wake up feeling shabby.Quote:

Need to get out and find a decent real-ale pub in Stockton (although did have a half-decent pint of summat Cornish in Spoons the other night).
Old Bob :cool:
Hambleton's Nightmare
Good choice. I tried one or two of Nick Stafford's beers from Booths and they were great :cool:Quote:
