Your Beer of the week

[kevenh]

Currently staying at Brecon. The local pub had this, Black Dragon 7.2 abv. A bit strong for me. I settled on something I couldn't pronounce and it was good.

I’ve ordered a pint of that by mistake as it’s often next to draft ales.
Luckily it’s a decent cider.
I only had one tho…

Edit: sorry, forgot the Brecon mention. Are you a neighbour? We’re at Cambrian Cruisers CL

 

[orridge]

Yep, Landlord is a decent pint

Anther decent pint
But If HSB is on then typically ESB is on and that’s my fave Fulers beer. Which used to be London Pride.
Though Pride is often available around the world. Well, airports bars

ahh London Pride.

When I was living overseas and being paid to travel around Asia in the pointy end of a plane wherever possible I would use BA as they always had a stash of London Pride onboard.

Sorry no pics, but the favourite local ale I was drinking pints of during our recent trip to the Cotswolds is called Shagweaver. Perfect drink with a plate of Evesham Vale Beef Pie (plum gravy). Yum.

We had a pub stopover a few weeks ago and I was disappointed that Harvey's best was not on. I grudgingly ordered Longman best. Wow! It has rocketed to the top of my favourite list. If you like proper bitter you'll love Longman Best

In Lidl today @ £2.99 - taste is reminiscent of the Affligem Blonde often on draught in France.

This is going to be a hard this week for me I'm at a cider and ale festival.

My beer of the week is “pluckin' in the bushes” - 6.1% ABV
It’s a Blackberry & Apple sour ale made by our local brewery Delphic Brewing Co.
It’s quite a different beer style to my usual so I’ll only have the two free ones mrskevenh & I earned foraging the fruit to make it tho
The apple makes it sweeter than the ale type “sour” suggests
And I’ll keep one of the cans as our names are on the can

Purity’s UBU is a decent beer.
It was my fave beer at a summer music festival. Other Purity beers were not to my taste but luckily I discovered UBU.

For this “beer of the week” thread I found some in Waitrose and I’ve rekindled my summer

Edit. It’s darker than their other craftier beers. Nutty and some sweetness in taste.

Currently drinking "Proper Charlie" from the Parish Brewery. (Got a 36pt barrel in for Xmas). It's a limited edition as Baz used the wrong Hops on his last PSB brew and this was the result. Bl**dy good drop of stuff it is to.

 

[Bobby-gg]

Hobgoblin at Newcastle City Hall for Christmas rocks, a night of fantastic local tribute bands

Sorry. My CDO* has kicked in.
It’s Purity’s Pure UBU

Thats my "daily driver" although I prefer it on draught at 4.5% if I'm going to have "a few"

I think you might be disappointed. I went back the next day and grabbed the last two cases in our local branch, and I’ve not seen it on the shelves since then.

Only had it on draught when visiting London (the Royal Oak in Highams Park) - the local Lidl keeps me well supplied with bottles and at a bargain price too!

Yes Blond Leffe is good, but the dark is even better.:thumb: There are more than 250 different beers overhere in Belgium. Most of them of the strong side. (Mort Subite is only 15%, stronger than wine :shout
Hopeless to stay sober in Belgium

Was in Brugge a few weeks ago , there is a wall with 1000 beers , I thought they were all Belgian

 

[Bobbydaisy]

This is my favourite, can get it in Aldi’s now 7.3%

Agree, a lovely drop.
Tesco have it in their 4 for £6 too.

 

[JockandRita]

Currently in Vitoria Gasteiz heading south, and was on this last night at Bar Basajuan, just along from the MH Aire.

A wonderfully fruity, citrusy and zesty Double IPA, and possibly the best of it's kind I have ever experienced. I kept getting tones of orange above the hops.

Tonight, I am trying this malty Schwarzbeir, but I am not overly impressed, as I'm not getting tones of much at all. Maybe because it is served to bl@@dy cold.

Cheers,

Jock.
