[Closed] Beer Friday, 1 choice only.

The suns out big fella. You know the rules.....

😀

[img] [/img]

what a silly question. there is only one choice

Brew Dog - Punk IPA. None of that "stor stark" rubbish, as above*

[img] [/img]

*I meant San Miguel not Caesar Augustus, which is v. nice

Edit: A less enormous photo:

Well that was larger than I expected.

My favourite ale by far at the moment. local bristol brewers.

Damn it I want one now and no local shops stock it.

Don't know, and I certainly won't be making up my mind today - it's the start of Kentish Green Hop Beer fortnight today!

Anyone in Kent who's likes unusual beers should check these out - over 30 different beers, all made by local (mostly small independent) breweries - all from freshly picked rather than dried hops. Well worth checking out, but will only be available for 2 weeks!

It'll be something dark and Belgian tonight I think. Chimay of some variety I would imagine.

+1 for punk

[img] [/img]

So sad, that I even have the glass.

Meantime Pale Ale from that brewery over the river in Greenwich 😉

One ale you say? Has to be this -

[img] [/img]
but got to be served from here -

[img] [/img]

Shame it's too far to travel for lunch.....

This country - Saltaire Raspberry Blonde
On Hols - Ruby Leffe

Weihenstephaner Hefe Weiss

Massive cider. Weston's reserve. 8.2% of comfortably numb.

^^Erdinger Weizen is officially a bike recovery drink innit? Will save that for Saturday.

Prolly an Oktoberfest beer tonight, to remain topical.

Punk IPA will have to wait till next time I'm back in Blighty

[img] [/img]

plus

The Pinkster has it. Good choice. Gives me a bad head though. 😉

Pint of cider, please, can we sit in the garden so I can have a rolly?

Stocked up on these whilst they were on offer in Sainsburys!

I'm with Kimbers Doom Bar.

It'll be a bottle of the lovely dry Normandy cider I brought back from the holidays this summer. Only another 40 bottles to go and I'll have to find something else to drink.

At only €3 a bottle it would have been rude not to fill the car.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

my own fave.

[img] [/img]

Bamboo has it right...

At home i'm partial to this at the moment though

[img] [/img]

At the moment i'm liking this.

Just been to the local beer shop, got some Punk IPA. Nice.

Hop Back Summer Lightning

Nice try but you are all wrong:

[img] [/img]

tripel karmeliet

thread closed

+1 for Doombar.

Nice try but you are all wrong:

Not a huge fan of Belgian beers, too strong and too sweet.

So you're wrong, soz.

Wiper and True seconded. Lovely beer. Even better from the cask which Luke sometimes has in the Bag 'o Nails.

Hmm.

One beer only? Thwaites Tavern Porter OR Fullers London Porter OR their Black Cab Stout

Tomorrow it will probably change to Thornbridge Jaipur

[img] [/img]

I iz riding hard tomorrow, innit... :-/

Aaagh, I had it down to Grozet.

But then you went and mentioned Tripel Karmaliet.

Doomed to a life of indecision.

i have to say that i prefer light pale beer, sub 4.5 if possible

saltaire blonde
ossett blonde
ilkley mary jane
magic rock curious
kelham easy rider
kirkstall 3 swords
badger summer glory
exmoor gold
hop studio 1 hop

oh god, i broke the 1 only rule...... 😳

zilog- thanks for the heads up. Will be heading to the Man of Kent for a couple of those this weekend! 🙂
Tonight however, it's Brewferm Abdij (homebrew Abbey style beer) for me.

The co-operative Czech premium lager.

It's alright, your exquisite taste in beer is enough to let you off.

That would depend where I was - there are dozens of beers which would do, but I think if I could choose anything, then I'd go for something from the Kernel brewery in London, something from whatever their current crop of beer might be - this time of year, probably darker without too much hop aroma, and a fair about of bitterness.

Can narrow it down to a brewery.
Wold Top Brewery
Local hops, Yorkshire water.
Not had a bad brew from them. Must refill the beer fridge.

Sunny, post ride? There can only be one:

Timmy Taylors Golden Best. Not as strong as Landlord, very drinkable and with a packet of pork scratchings contains all the essential minerals and vitamins to help you rehydrate*

*utter boollacks

[img] [/img]

Suffolk Pride if Andrew has brewed any or Briar bitter for a long session

if I could find an ale called 'Mr Treacle', i'd buy that. Notsure why but right now, the darker the better. in the meantime, this will have to do.

[img] [/img]

My current favourite "Friday evening straight after work" pint is Brooklyn lager

Pricey, but soooooo refreshing

there are 20-30 on at the beer festival at my local this weekend.
several of tons favourites iirc.

i'll just have a half please
Orkney SkullSplitter.

This was nice 2 weeks ago on a balmy New York day.

But any citrusy hoppy IPA is fine by me.

Doom bar, it's ok, but isn't it just a bit bland?

[EDIT] Woo, subtle image!

I've got 12 of these at home:
[img] [/img]

But I'm not going home, I'm going to Copenhagen. Probably a G&T on the plane and whatever we see first when we get there!

DEUCHARS IPA

3.8% but tastes like more

Beautiful golden ale ......

Good thread. Was trying to think, after a few weeks of conspicuous consumption, consisting of stag weekends, weddings and festivals, what is the most enjoyable pint I've had recently. It's this stuff:

[img] [/img]

Absolutely scrumptious. So much so I'm thinking about sending away for one of those boxes.

My untappd wishlist just got bigger.

Dunno why I looked at that Sainsbury's contest thing, and read all the reviews, cos none of the 30 beers are available in Germany.

Actually I think the local beers-of-the-world store might have one from my wishlist.

Black Isle: Smokey Porter for me mmmmm.

This is a nice beer from Cyprus.

Now available in Tesco.

[img] [/img]

One beer? Are you insane?

So happy that [url= http://www.darlocamra.org.uk/darlingtonpubguide.html ]I live somewhere pretty good for pubs[/url] 🙂

went to the Islay brewery whilst on tour the other week.....this was lush

[img] [/img]

oh, and the colonsay brewery too.
colonsay ipa is pretty nice too.

Not usually partial to Belgium/Wheat beers but this one works for me

[url= http://www.littlevalleybrewery.co.uk/our-beers/hebden-wheat ]Hebden's Wheat.[/url]

Murray's Summer Ale is always nice. Mm, Cumberland Bar.

Just found some Orkney Brewery Corncrake Ale (IPA) at £1.32 a pop in Tesco, when I say just I tried some last night and was back to day to re-stock..

[img] [/img]

I can't choose one. But in around an hour I will have a serious choice to make because I'll be here

http://www.spottedbylocals.com/manchester/cask/

Liking the Chouffe, but I had the one out of my fridge just the other day, so it's a toss up between the Tripel Karmeliet or the Daura (gluten free Estrella) which has less consequence in the long term!

Pops out to check Garage stash and shock horror 😯

Pops out to the shops 😀

I'd murder a pint of Mary Jane IPA just now.

But I would kill for one of these right now, none of our visiting friends have taken my hints to smuggle a four pack over
