😥 I wish. For some reason I'm having a dry June and it sucks balls.

yes but by the time we worked it out afternoon was over, that one looks like a good session beer anyway

Why the hell would you stop drinking beer in the beer-gardenest month of the year? Have you taken leave of your senses?

That's one of my favourites right now. Keg, not cask. And half, not pint.

Just lovely.

@sandwich - Good God man - what were you thinking!
@mike - it's got a cracking aftertaste 🙂
@brant - Casked not kegged, it's always hand pulled at the local 🙂
@binners - no beard (poor testosterone I guess), or socks and sandals - sorry!

BBQ this afternoon with several beers being drunk. Wild beer sour dough being a highlight. Just popped back in to check that my code is running as expect then back out into the sun 😀

Keg, not cask.

I am indeed an idiot. I can't defend my decision.

it's from California and quite a hoppy beer, very pleasant especially in the sun.

it's also pretty common in the UK now, well down South anyway.

Black Isle is very fine indeed!

I am enjoying Lakeland Gold from Hawkshead Brewery and its a shame I didn't have it at lunchtime...

Supping a hobgoblin or three this evening.
Have got quite partial over the summer and really need to cut back on ale consumption.

I had a lovely light 3.8% ale for lunch from the Upham brewery in our local wetherspoons no less and a meagre £1.99 in central southern England! Tasty and no noticeable impact on the afternoon.

Binners you may eat what filth you like and feed meat to vegans until the cows come home wrapped in plastic packaging but claiming that frothy yellow stuff is a better than a pint of British ale on a summers day... [shakes head]

Dark Island is lovely. Reserve is seriously heavy, treacle-y thick and the abv is very obvious. I wasn't the biggest fan tbh and won't be buying it again.
