    Barb wire and Great Northern are both nectar of Gods.

    Hahn Super Dry is top shelf in between singlet and smary casual. If you come across it I reckon u try it.

    The Christmas Aberlour is finally finished. It's occurred to me that I really don't need to drink much for it to hit. If I can find the sweet spot of being drunk at night and not hungover in the morning, I'll be set.

    Had an unexpected, although not entirely unpleasant visit from Nigel, Betty and Alan last night.

    Alan made a bit of a tit of himself by fizzing all over the floor, and Betty wasn't as hefty as that example [she was a bottle].

    Aside from the bantery names they weren't bad. Quite dry though, and, as trailed, pretty fizzy. I'm sure I've found this with local craft beers before - a tendency towards dryness/hoppyness and the FIZZ. Is that common in, erm, how should I say, perhaps less capable brewers?

    I think they banned that here. No idea why, but they have. They'd rather pubs just go bust I guess.

    You’re only allowed get them here if you’re getting takeaway food from the same establishment also.

    Most do but this place makes you pay a euro deposit on each proper glass and then you either bring them back or you don’t pay the deposit next time if you swap the empties for full ones. 3 would be my limit and even at that the third one will be ropey enough. I’m getting a 3 meat carvery anyway so I might not even be able to drink the second one.

    I don't think they can even do that here. We had dinner from a place the other day and the Mrs ordered a cocktail to go with it. They were on the phone within 10 minutes apologising and saying delivery of alcoholic drinks isn't allowed.

    It didn't stop me get getting a box of beer in with the weekly shop, mind, so an incredibly arbitrary line has been drawn somewhere.

    I could probably get on board with giving the ice cream ale a whirl, but not sure why it has to be green [obvious aside]. Would probably be a bit sickly though. At least the pineapple milkshake style beers have that bit of citrus to offset some of the sweetness.

    He was posting proud boys stuff under his own and a company account. They’ve went balls deep on the redemption though by the looks of it. I expect to see their next promo shots looks like the lineup on house of games.

    It's a shame he's AWOL just now because as our eminent brewing nerd he might have found this interesting: https://www.lallemandbrewing.com/en/...w-philly-sour/

    I learned about it via Pilot doing a new beer with it and they mention that it does the souring and fermenting at the same time which is probably massively noteworthy if you care enough about how it works.

    Shaken off my brewing apathy, found a coopers Aussie Pale Ale kit in the shed I got in a closing down sale from a local shop so set that off with a pack of Mangrove Jack's Beer Enhancer, going to dry hop it with cascade hop pellets next sunday

    Just rated this Rhubard & Custard beer a 5 on Untappd, which I’ve never done before:



    Like normally when it says it’s a flavour you might get a hint of it on first mouthful, or an aftertaste - or worse, it tastes more like pop than beer. But this is just unreal. Full on rhubarb and custard sweets while also being very obviously beer. Love it!

    Northern Monk are ace so I'm surprised they've nailed that.

    Best thing I've had recently was an impy called Very Big Chomp by Fierce. Lovely stuff.

    Tried to buy more today and visited two Morrisons but only managed to get 2 more cans.

    Made use of the 4 for Ģ6 offer while I was there though, which included a pineapple milkshake IPA and a caramel chocolate biscuit porter.

    Ooh, who's the porter from?

    I forgot until I checked my stocks for this evening there that I bought an 'imperial pilsner' the other day which feels like a bit of a contradiction in terms.

    Its another Northern Monk one, albeit a small can.

    Imperial Pilsner sounds like those giant FAXE 1l cans of lager that you only see in B&M.

    The only Northern Monk ones I seem to be able to get here are the Striding Edge (which is a bit wank), a DDH IPA and one more which escapes my mind. Had a look today as that Custard one sounds interesting but no dice.

    FAXE.



    Used to love those massive cans.

    Did you say none of the decent online shops deliver to you, Niko?

    I think some places do deliver (BeerHawk and/or Beer 52 I think), and now in post Brexitland more companies are probably au fait with the customs forms, but previously it has been hard to get alcohol sent over due to the different duty regimes. I don't make too much effort to try, but rather order stuff to the in-laws whenever I'm going over [which may happen in a few weeks]. We actually have Morrisons over here but I'd not thought of looking in there as it's only a little one. Might scope it out next time I'm near.

    And yeah, a 1 litre can. T'was the stuff of legend in my student days.

    Beerhawk are all mixed cases now so it's a long time since I've used them. Mostly Trembling Madness now though I have a Pilot order coming my way. They have a new Baltic porter and a cherry version of their Philly sour which is made with a weird (biologically, flavour wise it's normal) yeast which was apparently discovered in a Philadelphia graveyard.

    Picked up some Tiny Rebel Cali Pale, some Northern Monk Rapscallion Orange Zest IPA and a Nordland (Nordvik?) IPA by Darkstar which should sort me for a few days. Still not scoped out whether that Rhubarb and Custard effort is locally available.

    The Nordland IPA is nice.

    I also noticed And Union do a wheat beer (Wednesday?) which I've not seen before and must try as all of their others I've had (Dark Lager, IPA, Pale) have been good.

    On an imperial stout by Porterhouse (they're new to me, Giggles might have known them, RIP in pieces.) 12% and seems to have done the rounds in whisky, sherry and bourbon barrels. It's fucking lovely.

    Weekend's specimens have been 1000 Yard Stare (which I may have had before) which is good, something called Everstone (?) by Wild Beer which is a New Zealand Hazy or somesuch, not bad, and about to try another Wild Beer West Coast IPA called something like Absolute Madness.

    Both WIld Beers were a bit meh, not sure I've ever been a massive fan of theirs other than maybe that millionaire stout thing.

    Latest supermarket raid yielded an And Union Wheat Beer (Wednesday), a Sierra Nevada California IPA (not sure I've actually tried this before, and you know, back to the start and all), A Siren Soundwave IPA and a Camden Piņa [co] Lager, which is quite good actually.

    Sierra Nevada isn't anything desperately exciting but it's a really decent IPA.
