Whilst in the Toon I popped into a certain large department store to buy our lass some luxury items for Crimbo. I inadvertently also bought a little something for myself for the weekend . . . ;-)

Ernie in Plymouth
Enjoying a week away in Norfolk
This evening started with a Fat cat bitter followed by a couple of Greene king St Edmunds.
Finishing the evening off with Mr Moretti
Hints of grapefruit
Having a little treat courtesy of our German beer friends tonight. Reminds me of sitting outside Bar ZKB in the Markplatz in Heidelberg on a nice sunny day, just being part of the scenery for a few!
Well, time to unwrap and cool one of these for a tasting, although garage temperature may be suitable . . .
I'll look forward to the big reveal tonight!Originally Posted by magirus

Voilà! All the way from Fenwicks up the Toon, great value at £2.49/550ml. It’s a quid more in a Sam Smith’s pub. Had to pay and dash out, the counter is next to a vast wall of malt whiskey, ooh so tempting! Gorgeous!

As I've long suspected, you Sir have impeccable taste.

You don't do so bad yourself hinny! Had to exercise great self control and save the second bottle for another time. Plenty of choice in the cellar though, an archive pic, but same ale, watch and time . . .
PS. Went to the library yesterday...

good effort,it appears you are enjoying yourself
Got one of these on Black Friday (deal still active) and it works fantastically well.
The range of beers could be better, but they do introduce new options from time to time I believe.
I'm a huge fan of Lagunitas IPA, so can't wait for it to be available.
This as a first up. I have to say it's a bit... odd. Mrs Sish described it as a cross between fruit cordial, cider and lemonade (and who am I to disagree). Not wholly unpleasant but it won't be in my basket again when I call into Fenwicks.
More to follow.

Sam Smith's Imperial Stout. A full 7%. Like liquorice. Very smooth and full of flavour. Nice!

Nice cool lager tonight.
Myself and Trevor got trapped in the Vic by torrential sleet/snow. Freezing underfoot. Nothing for it but to continue drinking stout. We eventually made a break for the Dun Cow for some Castle Eden Ale. Later, spurred on by news of the Toon winning, made a break for home, albeit through driving sleet and deep freezing slush/snow. Home now with a warming dram . . .

That all sounds smashing. I'm Oncall until Monday, my last stint before next year.
Christmas drinking can then officially begin.

When it started out life in this glass, it was a Williams Bros Caesar Augustus "hybrid IPA"
I don't know how one arrives at "hybrid", but accompanied with some salt & pepper cashews it's been a delightful antidote to a 6hr drive up to Edinburgh.

Birra due of the evening...
Interesting beer - light and golden, not too fizzy but it's got a mild malty taste like you'd get in a Belgian dark beer, with an unmistakable taste of honey too...
It's a grower, for sure! Not sure why it's been served in a Captain Morgan tankard though...

Had a well deserved day off work. Popped over to Masham to stock up for Christmas. Probably the best example of a Yorkshire bitter.

A chap needs to be careful when the dray comes a calling at the Vic, straight drop on to a pad . . .
Cranborne Poacher.... very nice it is too, only wish I’d bought a few more bottles!
Another couple...
That’ll do for tonight....

Just one more...a refreshing Moretti to finish the night off
Love Moretti
