Had 2 & 1/2 pints of staggeringly good Yorkshire Blackout Stout, from Cropton Brewery, in The New Inn, Cropton, yesterday. Possibly the best stout I've tasted.
Castle Rock "Dingy Skipper" and a Burton Bridge "By George" from the usual Friday hostelry..
Been supping some spectacular ales from the Redwillow brewery over the weekend, there Wreckless drop is outstanding, right up my streetHad some bottles of Goose Island IPA at some point of the weekend too, one of the best bottled IPA's going in my opinion. Had some good solid ale from Oakham ales brewery at some point too, Inferno and Bishops Farewll, very good
Last night I had a bottle of Wainwright, the night before I had a bottle of wainwright, the night before that I had a bottle of wainwright, the night before the night before that I had a bottle of wainwright but the night before the night before the night before that I forgot to put a wainwright in the fridge to chill so I didnt have a wainwright that night.
Two top draw ales in the rat race today Mordue X2 AND Oakham ales JHB, absolutely cracking both of them, right up my street these 2 gems
A couple we know came to stay in our B&B last Sunday, he has a brewery business in Leek (somewhere in UK?), brought us some cases of his beers to sample...........he has been invited back.![]()
Some great beers were had last night. 2 pints of incredible Salamander Zombie Stalker Porter in The Flying Duck in Ilkley. Then a pint of Naylor's Black & Tan in The Crescent, which was equally impressive. Over to Bar T'at then for the ever reliable Marston's Oyster Stout & a Brewdog Tactical Nuclear Penguin "shot" at 32% !! Amazing stuff. Like alcoholic treacle flavoured port. Bit of a headache this morning.
If there was any trace of surprise in your tone there Jez, it was misplaced. Hardcore!
