43110andyb Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Tonight post football match Beer is a birthday present from my wife! Defiantly not local from the Isle of Wight! Garlic beer! Luckily not pungent as the name suggests but a slight hint comes through in the aftertaste! Very nice! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Turpin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Fullers Past Masters, Old London Ale One recreated from Fullers' brewing log, 1905. From the notes on the bottle, a strong Burton style ale, which was popular at the time, especially in the colder months. I can see why - this perfectly matches the perishing weather at the moment: full, rich and malty, with some bitterness, but not excessively so, and plenty of alcoholic backbone. This is my kind of beer when the weather is depressing and wintry, and suited to my preference to one good strong pint rather than several weaker ones. Very enjoyable; a pre-grouping period ale to accompany some pre-grouping era research! That's what I call immersion in your subject. Cheers. Glad I bought a few of these!

RMweb Premium Reorte Posted February 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2018 Only replying to this thread to separate it from the one it was below. Looking at the forum index we had "Currently Drinking... Carr's Yellow Flux", which sounds like a rather bad idea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted February 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) After Christmas I tend to be a bit hard up. So there I was in the supermarket wondering whether I should really spend geting on for £2 on a bottle of beer when I noticed Banks's Amber Bitter at 80p for 500ml. I realised I could buy two of these for the price of a 330cl bottle of a trendier ale, but would it be drinkable? I bought two. In fact, not at all bad. OK, no great complexity or fashionable citrus or other trendy flavours, just fuggles and goldings hops and malt, really a pretty basic English 3.8 abv session bitter and none the worse for that. As I was thinking about it I suddenly noticed that my glass had become empty so I had to drink the other one as well. It's not up there with the best beers, but it's pefectly drinkable and at the price something of a bargain.

43110andyb Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Drifting a little farther afield but still in Yorkshire is an interesting pale ale from the Ilkley brewery- Pale 4.2% (new world pale ale). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43110andyb Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Was considering their 'Headland Red' tonight but went for a Double Maxim instead. Hmmm' -definitely a quandary as the Hedland red is an exceptional Ale but Double Maxim is a true North East heavyweight! One of each I reckon!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Belheather scottish ale with a shot of whiskey. The reviews for this are middling but I think it is fantastic. I am not a fan of neat scotch but somehow the dark smokiness of the scotch balances the malt of the ale perfectly.5 stars! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm hoping to quaff a few pints of Brockley brewery ale as I'm planning to drop in there this afternoon (after meeting a few friends at the 'spoons Barge for lunch). G 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinZaPint Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 At my local 'spoons @ 5% not what I would generally class as a session ale but very quaffable, only had 3 as I was going out in the evening! sorry about picture quality but taken with my phone (free with a £5 a month package, who you calling a cheapskate?) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Two year old imitation Chateauneuf du Pape made from a Beaverdale kit. 30 bottles of a very pleasant full-bodied red for £48 plus maybe £2-worth of water for all the cleaning/sterilising/rinsing of the winemaking tackle. Call it £1.70 a bottle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43110andyb Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Football snowed off so it's a night in front of the fire with a porter- Pillow Fight 4.8% from the Flavourly range- Bad Co. of Dishforth, North Yorks.

43110andyb Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 No football tonight as my body seems to propose retirement -having a game Sunday and Tuesday have taken their toll! A visit to Morrisons on the site of the former North road locomotive works provided this Suffolk Gold Ale from St Peters brewery- 4.9%. Just the ticket to recuperate! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home and a shower bring a Timothy Taylor beer -Ram Tam 4.1%, maybe a bit on the dark side for a warm evenings wind down but very nice all the same! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
