ho-hum, at least I have a few lovely porters and stouts to see me through the weekend.
Local Sainburys had a 'Taste the difference' Kentish ale on clearance recently; it was excellent and not too strong. Typically, all gone now, being on clearance!
900 :w00t: I had better get there early
Abstaining tonight due to relays tomorrow...proper gutted!! :(
Robisons Chocolate Porter from M&S. Not good.
Tastes like somwone has tipped a load of synthetic chocolate flavouring in some fizzy water. 2/10
Beer festival at the local running from tonight till Sunday.
Thats my weekend take care of! :thumbup:
Had some lager last night. Bleeuuurrrgh :thunbdown:

Happened to pop into the Boat tonight. Some kind of beer tasting with food - Brew Dog.
Whilst I didn't participate in the event, there were six Brew Dogs on offer. The Trashy Blond was so good I had two!
Second best beer in the country!
Sounds good. Not been there for ages :closed:Quote:

Hesketh Newmarket - Doris' 90th (Apparently brewed in memory of a 93 year old fell walking lady)
Marble - Pint
Shardlow - Whistle Stop
and many many more...
All washed down with a Macallan single.
Will be going tomorrow and will report back.
Better be quick if you want some Brew Dog - cos I'm back tomorrow

£2.50 for Ram Tam?! It's about time you and your missus put on another film night Quosh :closed:
Agreed. Just the small matter of making another film. :D
Well, first part of the plan will be to go to the Cow tonight and ruminate on the possibilities.
For the most part I'll drink guest ales at The Cow; and The Boltmakers is my prefered Taylors pub. But there's not a huge amount in it.
Enjoy it while you can. We lost two pubs in a week in Addingham recently :closed:Quote:

Winster Valley - Best Bitter
The Black Monk and Best Bitter were particularly good. Curry with the in-laws tonight... hopefully they'll be a Bluebird or two involved.
Barngates are another fave of mine. Particularly when sat in The Drunken Duck.Quote:

Followed with a Ramtam. And a Landlord. Still the best all-rounder.
Ramtam is £2.30 on a Monday DT. :w00t:
Landlord. Takes some beating if anything like right :closed:
