I agree. I was expecting something spectacular !

The pub's good though, and very dog-friendly - the Leigh Arms on the A49 near Acton Bridge if anyone wants to join me!
An imromptu & snow induced day off today. So after making snowmen with the children & a cracking run on the moors, I decided to take the children out for lunch in The Queens Head. Had a lovely pint of Wall's Brewery Gun Dog, followed by a belting Moorhouses Blond Witch. Came home & made another snowman, then needed an afternoon nap. What a great day !
couple of beers from the colchester brewery, metropolis- outstanding, light hoppy 3.9% session ale :) 88 out of 100
and colchester - no1, a brown 4.1% ale but really flavoursome 80 out of 100
A pint of Santas Dark Side followed by an excellent Black Band Porter in a snowy Ilkley tonight.
I was in York yesterday, what a fine place for ale!! The york tap by the station is great, sampled a couple of beers from Rapture brewery which Id never heard of, they were both beautiful and in great condition :) Great pint of old peculiar too in some other boozer, I do love the Old Peculiar, struggle to get it up our way these days :thunbdown:
Went on the Theakston's Brewery tour recently, which really rekindled my admiration for Old Peculier.Quote:

Old Peculier is a beautiful, yet very simple beer, brewed using a very generous blend of finest pale, crystal and roasted barley with two bitter hops combined with the majestic and noble ‘Fuggle’ hop to produce a beer of awesome full-bodied flavour with subtle cherry and rich fruit overtones. It tastes superb when accompanied by rich stews, strong cheeses and sweet puddings."

Not sure if we have a 'today's whisky thread' so I'll sneak this in here - 12 year old Caul Ila from Islay, quite possibly the most sublime malt I have had the pleasure of tasting. Only had a wee drop as I didn't want it to interfere with a Calafornian Zinfandel I had on the go but I am certainly looking forward to my next tasting - unlike the other big names from Islay this is much more subtle & complex with peat more of a background taste than to the fore, well worth a try if you are in the mood for a nice malt.
Plenty of rescue ale was purchased at Mickledon. Hope you all enjoyed it.
Just in process of sampling a few Ian, funny to hear you telling MR ladies how its full of electrolites etc
Flying dog brewery: Snake dog IPA 7.1%
Odell brewing co: St. Lupulin IPA 6.5%
Ska brewing : Modus hoperandi IPA 6.8%
Sierra Nevada brewing co: Torpedo IPA 7.2%
All from the U.S, all bloody lovely and all bought from Beermoth in MCR.
Heavy gear :closed:Quote:

I wouldn't really class them as sippers, but nor are they sluggers. TBH I don't pay that much attention to abv in relation to how drunk i'll be as different drinks of similar percentage have massively different effects. Say Duvel for instance - 3 off them and I'm in bed, but last nights selction was no problems - toped off with a nice night cap of Elijah Craig 18 year single barrel bourbon for good measure.Quote:

Not a massive fan of silver king, but Osset Hercules on the other hand is cracking.Quote:

looks like everyone has been enjoying themselves since I last popped on here!
i made it to BrewDog in MCR a week or so ago and got rather drunk! many excellent (and slightly expensive) beers were had in a quite, relaxed bar. Also managed to get to the Sheffield Tap, a Marble Earl Grey IPA and Roosters/Outlaw Mad Hatter, both brewed with tea and amazing. particularly the Mad Hatter.
also loads of my homebrew, a few Modus Hoperandi and the odd pint of Mary Jane. The best evening was in my Dads local where they had Thornbridge Kipling on draught.
Just had a couple of cracking pints of Theakston's in Hawes sat in the sun outside the pub!
Lightfoot
Old Peculiar
Top job! :)

Had a few crackers on saturday night:

Jaipur - Thornbridge Brewery - 5.9%
Big swell IPA - Maui Brewing Co - 6.8%
Brooklyn Lager - Brooklyn Brewery - 5.2%
Raging Bitch - Flying Dog Brewery - 8.3%
East India Pale - Brooklyn Brewery - 6.9%
