Tonight's Real Ale

[OneHillWonder]

That's not bad for a Thursday! I hope there was lots of gravy to go with that Harvest Pale?!

I am working 12 hour shifts all weekend in Londres Stef so felt I should make the most of my day off We did also discuss xmas beer and pork pie buying while in the pub - getting the important stuff sorted nice and early.

This evening I think I shall put my feet up, but perhaps no more beers. Early start tomorrow :thunbdown:

@onehill - Brew Dog's ales coming to the Narrow Boat soon - can't wait

Tonight, they had my favourite beer on - Jaipur.

Please don't visit the Boat cos they only have 4 barrels and I don't want anybody else drinking it!

Might be a trip out on Friday

Cumberland Ale and Copper something or other. hic.

Brewed for Tesco by BrewDog Brewery the American Double IPA.... an absolute gob full of hoppy loveliness but, at 9.2% ABV, a bit on the pokey side.

Sounds like this is the same as Brewdog Hardcore IPA. Their Punk IPA is less strong but still wonderfully hoppy.

Back to the Tesco Ginger Beer - it's not as sweet as Crabbie's or Franks, very refreshing and definitely ginger. Bit like champagne!!!

And finally - the best draft ginger beer I ever had was at a brewpub in the Glasgow suburbs called the Clockwork Beer Factory - this was a bit cloudy and over 5%.

Tesco man is bringing me a bottle of Tescos Ginger Beer and a bottle of Franks, so I can do an objective comparison :thumbup:

whilst this talk of Ginger beer is all very entertaining (and informative) I feel it should be moved to it's own thread - Today's Ginger Beer (alcoholic), maybe. After all this is a Real Ale thread!

On the subject of Ginger Beer: it has to be Bundabergs with a splash of dark rum.

Anywho back to the Real Ale. It's a lottery tonight as Superflygal is buying a selection of bottles from the shop.

Oh I absolutely will Stef I consider it my duty. I may save them for my trip to Castleton in 3 weeks.... Or they may not last that long!

So c'mon then - what is everyone drinking tonight???
