However this festival hot on the heels of a Belgian excursion might just be the ticket (or should I do Ennerdale instead? :rolleyes:)

blimey, supped a few Hawkshead New Zealand pale ales last night on the way home from work, thought I could get away with 3 pints before going home and functioning properly for the rest of the evening, needless to say after 3 pints of the 6% gem I was about trolleyed :p revess wasn't best pleased, she had to cook for herself :rolleyes: on the other hand she got the rest of the night off from me as I passed out shortly after getting home :o
You turning in to a lightweight Rev ?

Had a couple of pints of Oakham Ales JHB last night. Very light and hoppy and would make a good session beer.
a quality tipple also available in M&S under the name "Cambridgeshire summer ale"Quote:

Just slipped down a Ruck & Maul from Tatton Brewery, cracking !
A Wells, Bombadear to finish.
Plenty of wainwright ale in the farrier, Threlkeld yesterday, I love that particular drop :thumbup: Tried a few from the Jennings brewery too, not realy my dab, and an EPA from marstons, nice :)
On a sidenote, how expensive are the pubs in Lakeland these days!! 3pound40/50 for a pint of Ale that is brewed pretty close by, is there anywhere that you'd pay less than 3pound a pint in the lakes?
A bottle of Dead Steve's home-brew. Very tasty it is too :thumbup:
Just bought a couple of bottles of this:

last nights was a bottle of Silver Owl from the Greenfield Brewery, handily they had a bar open at the Dove Stone Diamond race for draught and bottles.
I like the Batemans Dark Lord beer :thumbup:Quote:

A Blue Monkey BG Sips, and something else that I can't remember (!) were today's lunchtime delights.
Several Northumbrian Blondes from the fantastic Mordue brewery followed by couple bottles of Wainwright and Fursty Feret
A belting Ilkley Stout Mary, followed by A Durham Evevingsong. Both performed miracles as I thought I saw England play well against Brazil & score 2 great goals.
You must have had them during the first half then!! The two goals were good, thought we'd got out of jail and actually done 'em for 4 or 5 minutes!!
I still don't think we'll qualify for the World Cup. We're simply not good enough.

Following a cracking run along Fremington Edge I had the following:
A pint of Guinness Extra Cold
A pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord (Both in The Buck in Reeth)
Then a little stroll along the river to The Bridge Inn in Grinton for:
A pint of Jennings High Spy
& A pint of Jennings Tom Fool.
What a beautiful part of Yorkshire.
a week in Spain supping mostly euro lager has come to and end and I'm indulging in
Bristol Beer Factory - Southville Hop
Thornbridge Raven
Magic Rock - Magic 8 Ball
mmmmmm, hello taste buds!
:thumbup:
Out in the sunshine. G&T for Mrs sbrt, Lord Marples for me, beer froth and mini cheddars for the hound.
Must be summer.
Lord Marples is possibly one of the best executed examples of a classic english bitter I've ever had. a perfect balance of malt character, hop flavour, bitterness and colour.Quote:

Three fine Yorkshire 'quaffing' ales tonight, all under 4% but all very tasty for a 'school night'...... Ilkley Brewery Mary Jane, Acorn Barnsley Bitter (still one of my fave best bitters!) and Copper Dragon IPA...which were nice:thumbup:
Castle Rock Bouncing Bomb and Batemans Combined Harvest. Anonther fine Friday lunchtime in the Victoria Hotel!
