I wasn't intending on having a beer this evening, but having a cheeky Wainwright whilst sorting a couple of bits out on the computer
Cheers chap, invite from DaddyTimmers making its way to you.
Had this on draught a few weeks ago in the Vic, very nice out of a bottle too. The label’s quite apt as not long finished a bike ride . . .
F.T.F.A.
I like Annandale. Had never had any before my brother in law’s fridge suddenly filled up with them (Waitrose or Saino’s purchased I think). Must be decent if it won that award!
Had to pop into town to the bank. Rude not to when in the area . . .
This has been the pick of the beers I've been trying recently. Very drinkable.

I had 48 bottles of this in the beer fridge a couple of weeks ago.
I now have a lot less!
I buy from Adnams direct and they have great customer service

I’ve enjoyed that myself in the past.
A night in for £2.75, I’m a cheap date . . .
I can see why the number of bottles would decline rapidly, it wouldn't last long in mine either. Thanks for the heads up on buying direct, I will look into it.
I knew I had seen that label before, I should have known that it would be on this thread. I'm not entirely surprised to find that it had been you who'd got there first :-DI’ve enjoyed that myself in the past.

That looks a curious drink!

Yep! Had it at the Taproom on Enid St a couple of weeks back. Like a sorbet in a glass. Cheers
It would actually go quite well with your curry!
The Honest Brew fairy’s been again this week...
If anyone’s not used them before let me know and I can give you a referral code. You get £10 off and I get a £5 referral credit.
Tonight’s batch of beauts so far...
A dry, dank, resinous and hoppy session ale. I really like CR/AK and Other Half basically make some of the best craftbeer available on planet Earth right now. I’m almost contemplating flying to New York in October just to go there, Finback, Singlecut and to Decadent up in Westchester!
After that double-dry hopped starter I fancied something light and fruity which would go with spicy chicken burgers. I really enjoy Montauk beers and it’s a place which I have fond connections and memories of. A work colleague bought me a 6-pack over two weeks ago so I raised this one to her.
And what I’m currently drinking as I type this. So. Frickin. Good. Beers like this should almost not exist, but I’m very glad they do. I discovered Decadent Ales by accident when in New York back in April. The work colleague who bought me the Montauk’s lives near their tap, and bizarrely, the friend I was staying with (who incidentally I have the Montauk connection through), took me there and to the amazing Half Time beer shop that shares the same building. I’ve been saving this one since April. It’s huge, smooth, packed with juicy fruit and no way feels like a 9%-er.
Cheers all
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Had a day out in York and came back with four Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout and a Rhubarb and Custard ale.
If you're in York, spend a few minutes being amazed at the selection of beers, ciders, lagers and spirits from all corners of the earth at The Trembling Madness:

I've supped in the Trembling Madness on occasion, a marvellous establishment! Of course when in York there are many, many fine pubs, but one must visit the Minster Inn and the Blue Bell, two gems. A plus is that they are far apart and one can call in pubs en route for a fortifying sup to keep the body in fettle.
PS. Re the Sam Smith's stout - going up the Toon shortly so will be toting some supplies back.
Well, in town today to meet a couple of pals for a natter so . . .
quick slaker . . .

The Trembling Madness looks like a little shop of beer dreams, tuck in!
Have you tried any of Brew York’s wares?
I rather like it actually. Fourpure’s Easy Peeler is also a good summer SIPA with orangey zest.Not a patch on the Northern Monk stuff, but this isn't bad for #5 for 4 cans..
Pressure Drop are having a great 2019, quality and variety seems to have stepped-up significantly since they switched to canning.
And Arbor always seems to deliver to goods. This is a classic malty, sweet APA.
I’m a big fan of flavourly also. Just enjoying a Wild Beer Co Comet from them.

True, these offer a value entry point into different beer styles, however what I’ve found with this and many other such forays into the supermarket shelves, is that the quality suffers. Sure it’ll be reasonable, but the cost of really good beer is in the hopping and adjuncts and care which can rarely achieved by high outputs.
I find that buying direct from breweries from their online shops or via Eebria gets you a good value:quality compromise, and better than some of these offers.
By example, I buy regularly from Mad Squirrel, Marble, Burning Sky, Verdant and Deya, saving several £’s (often per can) vs other online wholesalers or local craft bottle-shops.
Having said that, I still buy from Honest Brew, Premier Hop and would do from Hoptimism, because their offerings cover the range of breweries and style I like.
Locally I’m very lucky in London, with several craft beer shops within a short drive, bus or train ride from home. I try to support 3 or 4 of them because without them, the scene would be a lot duller.
I try to avoid anything from “big beer” now - which sadly includes home-grown brands like Fourpure, Beavertown, Meantime (my local brewery) and Camden - because of the damage and historical bad practises that some of these companies have done to the global, regional and local markets. I’d rather put my coin in the pockets of small businesses in the U.K., Europe and the US than line the coffers of the global giants.
From Lidl, very nice. Formerly brewed by Marstons, now by Shepherd Neame.

Been in York for a couple of days. Loved some of the local beers. Currently sat in a small old pub in the centre near our reservation for food tonight.

Ooo that takes me back to my yoof in the Sloany pony on Parsons Green.
It’s a lovely pint. I have seen it in cans (the small hipster coke can sized cans) but I have not had it out the wood for 10 years or more. (No sniggering at the back)
The chocolate orange stout was OK-ish. I have had nicer (their Milk Stout for example) and there was very little taste of orange.

Very good in my experience. Their Cascade pale is brilliant, their Stout excellent, and they do a variation of the blonde brewed with Raspberries which is about as refreshing as a summer beer can be!I've had this on draught we'll see how this compares

Roosters beers are quite often to be found on the hand pulls at Craftbeerco Covent Garden
Parting is such sweet sorrow, the second of my pair from the last sortie up the Toon is leaving tonight. Sigh, another trip to Fenwicks beer dept to buy more, then the horrors of the Bridge and Crown Posada as I return to the railway station. Of course both Newcastle and Durham stations have bars. Then once back in Durham it’s rude to bypass the Vic. Sigh....

I was wondering how "fruity" that would be, will give it a go if I see it about, I'm not a fan of overly flavoured ales.
I was regularly buying their Dark Matters and Spill the Beans porters but they haven't stocked it for several weeks in my local branch. :-(
After a warm bike ride then a walk down into the city I was lucky to be just by the Half Moon when a sudden and overwhelming thirst hit me, a pint of Draught Bass is helping my recovery. Once properly beerdrated should make it up the bank tiv that Vic . . .
