Tonight's Real Ale

[Derby Tup]

Went to inaugural Cononley beer festival on Saturday evening. Very informal and great fun. I've lost my tasting notes, but Saltaire Cascade was most popular on our table, with Ilkley's Mary Jane a decent second best. Sadly there seemed to be a lack of hoppiness to several of the offerings

Wow! I didn't realise it was the inaugural Cononley beer festival!! I'd have made more of an effort to drink more if I'd known that! :thumbup:

Finishing off my last gallon of Golden Summer Ale stuffed full of Bobek, before the Ramsbottom bitter (Fuggles and Northdown hops) comes on line later this week.

Sounds great Brotherton Lad. No real Ale for me tonight, shame really

BOttled beer last night. Saltaire Brewery: Triple Chocoholic! felt a bit ill afterwards, almost like eating a chocolate cake!

off the ireland for the weekend, so I suppose I will have a few pints of Guiness

[superflyguy]

I tried the Triple Chocoholic and din't like it either It's a shame as the other Saltaire beers are excellent; both on draught or bottled

they do some truely wonderful things with strange ingredients. I ws looking forward to the Cohocolate one, but it doesn't even come close to most of teh others (summer fav is Ginger Spice)


Just Guiness this weekend. but proper oorish Guiness, left to stand half way through pouring and the barman was taking bets on the horses! Ma Bakers Carlingford.

1 pint of Rescue
2 pints of Old P

Almost bed time.

[Brotherton Lad]

A steady 4 pints of Ramsbottom, even if it is still a little green.
A gentle recovery after 12 hours of Regimental reunion yesterday. We even managed to attract a passing street band of brewers from Maastricht over in York for a musical weekend to come and play for us, though they'd never heard of 'Ilkla moor bah't 'at'.

I had a big bowl of cheese savouries, washed down with a bottle of St Peter's Best whilst watching Downton Abbey. A perfect Sunday night in! :thumbup:
