Your Beer of the week

[TheAleMan]

I'm over that way on Saturday by bus Steve, so might give it a go thanks.


The words frying pan and fire immediately spring to mind, although the hand pulled Worthington is better than the Creamflow, but still not a lot of flavour IMHO.

Cheers,

Jock.

No worries Jock. Nice little ale house, and that drop in particular was very nice indeed. Hope they still have it on if and when you visit.

It’s all change at Wetherspoons where they have done a 20 year deal with Budweiser! John Smiths to be replaced by Worthington.

The change doesn’t effect the real ale choices at your local ‘spoons (they claim) and for me, a Leffe is a better option than what we’re losing

I bought 2 x bottles of Hatherwood Winter Ale this morning, and I've just had one.

Someone else can have the other one. Not my cup of tea at all.

Cheers,

Jock.

I bought a couple of those thinking they sounded nice, when I bought 6 of these, which I know are

These always go down well
Being purple it also reminds me of a special lady too

Yes Bev, they are nice........as was "our special lady, but in a different sense obviously.

Cheers,

Jock.

Is Leffe going on tap as a keg beer in Spoons then Kev? One of our local boozers had it in on draught...........and was charging almost £8 a pint. It's good, but it's not that good.

Cheers,

Jock.

Leffe £8 a Pint! doubt they would get that in London!
Before my 3rd Covid Jab, my Mrs brought me home a box of six Doom Bar bottles (on offer in Tesco) at the time, but not well enough to drink beer yet. do have others in stock but cant face em at the moment.
Enjoy your beers folks, I will try & catch up...Promise!
Best wishes.

In York on Thursday for the snooker, Wetherspoons had Ruddles hand pulled for 99p a pint.
My eyes lit up Christmas come early, by the time we got to the front of the queue they had ran out and no more barrels

[kevenh]

Visited a craft beer pub in Reading last week. The Nag’s Head just off Oxford Street. Had a good time

Started with:

Pressed Rat & Warthog from Triple fff Brewery - ABV 3.8% | £4.20.
“Ruby coloured, dark chocolate aroma with hints of blackcurrant and plum leads to a soft yet full roast flavour, fruit and malt vying with the rounded hoppy bittersweet finish.”

Old Brown Mouse from Three Blind Mice Brewery - ABV 4.2% | £4.20.
“A traditional English best bitter. Hopped with centennial & US cascade.”

Broken Dream from Siren Craft Brew - ABV 6.5% | £4.80.
“A Breakfast Stout with a gentle touch of smoke, coffee and chocolate. She binds smoke and coffee aromas with chocolate, milk and oats to create something thick, velvety and slick.”

All three were good

Well, disappointed re xmas flavour, not even a hint of cinnamon, xmas pud or anything Christmassy.

But, if you take it as a normal dark ale, a very tasty, rich, not gassy, and very drinkable beer. Not cheap at €4, so prob not indulge again, but glad we tried it!

See below.

and was charging almost £8 a pint.

I didn't see anyone on it at the time I was in there. I wonder why

Been charged €3.50 for a small Leffe in a bar in France a few years ago

In France now and local bar Grimbergen €3.90 for 250ml

There we go TinaL, at today's rate of exchange, that is £3.33p for less than a half pint.
BTW, I like Grimbergen too, and occasionally buy a six pack when shopping in France. Pelforth Brune is another I sometimes indulge in.

Cheers

Jock.

 

[kevenh]

I like Grimbergen too

A thumbs up for Grimbergen from me, too. And I’m pretty choosy about a lager style beer

 

[599]
