A bottle of Dorothy Goodbody Wholesome Stout, followed by a Thwaites Nutty Black which was fantastic compared to the last time I tried it !

British Sea Power were fantastic ! Not sure if they would have been as good sober.
I am impressed by the 6.8% starter Jez :thumbup:Quote:

I can't explain how they eluded Jez.
this weekend I've managed :
Bristol Beer Factory: Southville Hop. brilliant. zingy fresh citrus.
Budvar Dark Lager
Pilsner Urquell
homebrew: wheat, dark and bitter
not sure it's all helping the 3ps training!
http://www.hesketbrewery.co.uk/beers/haystacks/
Haystacks 3.7%. A "Refreshing ale for fell wanderers". The Old Alfer can vouch for its post-running/wandering recuperative powers :thumbup:
An excellent lunchtime in the Victoria Hotel, Beeston. Today's delights,
Dancing Duck Nice Weather
Dancing Duck 22
Could have stayed there all afternoon! :thumbup:
smashing it tonight!
Homebrew : Racing Snake x2 (My P&B brew. 3.9% trad bitter)
Hoppin Frog Mean Manalishi
Homebrew : actually IPA (proper old school IPA 6%)
Hardknott: Rhetoric 2
good night vienna!
2 Bishops Fingers
and an
Owd Rodger
Williams Brothers 'Harvest Sun'
Ah the Vic...! A couple in there usually followed by jumping over the fence on to the station platform for the train in to town and a visit to the Brewery Tap and and Ye Olde Trip before the last train home. If we make it out of the Vic in the first place...Quote:

Had a wander down the lovely esk valley yesterday, some of the finest ale houses in the land en route down the valley :thumbup: starting off at The board inn, Lealholm (great cheese board too! ) - Arncliffe arms, Glaisdale - Horseshoe Hotel, Egton Bridge and finishing at The station at Grosmont. I forget what I was supping now but every pint in each pub was in superb condition. Erimus from the truefitt brewery was particularly great at fabulous Horshoe Hotel
A great day out for lovers of ale and countryside, probably about 2/3mile max inbetween pubs,delightful riverside walking/running/drinking in any combination 10/10 :thumbup:
Crikey Rev, you know how to do it ! Carlsberg don't do pub crawls, but if they did they'd be ringing you for advice ! I love The Horseshoe. Happy memories from 20 years ago taking my good lady away.
Anyway, back to beer. A truly outstanding, hand pulled, Hawkshead Drystone Stout in The Crescent after The 3 P's on Saturday. Drowned my sorrows over being slower than last year & going over 4 hours.

A cracking bottle of Dent Brewery T’Owd Tup last night. I'd just seen Derby Tup at Lothersdale, so it seemed logical.
Good gear that Jez :thumbup: How's your lad? Okay I hopeQuote:

How was your run ?
Sorry to hear that. Hope he gets sorted soon. I enjoyed the evening immensely and felt reasonably strong; especially considering I cannot remember the last short race I did :oQuote:

I had a fantastic blonde at lunchtime... :thumbup:
(The Brew Company Blonde...)
St Peters Organic Ale, almost from the homeland
cracking pints of Yorkshire Pride at the Hart Inn, Sandsend
A night out in Leeds last night. Started off on Guinness, then Dark Star Porter (beautiful), followed by a Mary Jane. I hate to say I then finished off with a few vodka & cranberry juices.:o
a rare Lakeland visit and a couple of visits to the Kirkstile Inn:
several Loweswater Gold
Esthwaite Bitter
a couple of American Invasion
and a Langdale
all excellent, all by Legendary Cumbrian Ales.
plus a few wainwright tops for my mate.
Like :thumbup:Quote:

picked up a Dorothy Goodbody stout and an Oakham Citra from Booths on the way home from the Lakes.
I'm looking forward to the stout after some rave reviews on here. the Citra is excellent, I recommend picking one up at your local Booths!
Mate, you're in for a treat !! It's top of my list every time.

Today's now traditional Friday lunchtime in the pub consisted of a couple of pints of Bouncing Bomber. :thumbup:
A triple-hopped contemporary yet classic English bitter. Celebrating 70 years since the legendary Dambuster’s daring raid. A toast to the legacy of these national heroes.
A bottle of Dorothy Goodbody followed by a meaty Old Tom (8.5%).
I had my Dorothy Goodbody last night and very good it was too. I'll be picking some more up next time I get to a Booths.
Also had a Weihenstephaner Vitus, double strength wheat lager. tasty.
Lager ?!?!
