    Thanks for that. It looks like they brew a golden ale too

    For anyone that is on a Gluten Free diet (like me) I can thoroughly recommend this. Made a nice change from either cider or gf Peroni / San Miguel / Estrella

    No. The perfect time for a sup. Also, you've reminded me I'm long overdue a look down to York. The Minster Inn and the Blue Bell are calling . . .

    Haven't tried that place, probably didn't exist last time I was down! Their "live beer" list looks interesting, but with all the excellent draught ale available in York I'll not be trying anything in a tin.

    I tried and enjoyed Butchers Block when transiting through Jo’burg airport earlier this year. SA craftbeer scene seems to be going great guns.

    Ok I’ll agree “ it’s not too early “ , York Christmas markets, Pivni World Beer Freehouse, The Shambles, large Chiraz for my good lady, local brew (Cropton) Yorkshire Blackout for me. A delicious chocolate & vanilla stout, slips down real easily.

    The exciting bit is that I brewed it (with some friends). First one we've had on. I'm the lix of Marlix.

    Not that many places(in the Midlands anyway) do SH on draught. Have you ever tried mixing speckled hen with old crafty hen? It is the beer I drink at home mostly!

    Great drop. To be fair, they don’t do much that isn’t.

    Enjoyed a Guinness milk stout tonight. I didnt know they did one but saw it in Waitrose. Quite nice and a very reasonable £1.65 a bottle (500ml).

    I don’t normally drink on a school night but it would be a shame to waste it
    The garage is keeping it at the perfect temperature.

    Indeed. Still -2°C here at just gone 9am and forecast to remain cold all day. Shame to waste all that free chilling this evening! ;-)

    No photo (forgot as we were chatting), but tried a few pints of 'INK' nitro stout by Camden Town Brewery while at the Pint Shop in Cambridge.

    Very nice, but it was a shade too lively to be poured properly. I know it is intended to have a decent head, but having a 1/4 pint of head was a bit of a p1$$ take at £5.70 per pint.

    Something wrong there, should be smooth as a Guinness.

    In Krakow and Łódź this week with work, so naturally sampling some local wares is a must. The Polish craftbeer scene appears to be flying. “House of Beer” was our first stop, which had a pretty sizeable menu. Choose from the wall or take suggestions from the barman...



    Or choose something from their 12 keg lines...



    After a couple of halves on draft I switched to a bottle. Really nice New Zealand-hopped session IPA...




    Then in Łódź last night I tried these two, the first a fruity Saison and the second a very hoppy double-dry hopped double IPA...



    And tonight the hotel has all this lot to choose from...





    I went for the American Pale Ale (APA). Smooth, fruity and mildly hopped.

    Cheers

    I used to go to Cambridge quite a bit when I supported one of our offices at the Science Park. The Pint Shop was a favourite place (that and the fabulous pub The Eagle) but drinking in Cambridge sure made a big dent in my expenses.

    Thanks for that, I`m a fan of the Amber Adder and Green Gecko. Suffering from a bout of man-flu at the moment, might manage to drag my ass up to Lidl for a few bottles......purely for medicinal purposes

    Christmas supplies are in:



    The Sussex is my favourite although the Red export is a cracking pint too. Not a stout fan but thought I'd give theirs a try and the Classic Old is their equivalent of a Porter.

    The hard part will be saving them for Christmas, especially as the in laws are over on Sunday and I'll need some fortification.

    Sad news. I made my bi-annual trip to The Black Sheep Brewery at Masham to get a few trays of their fabulous Yorkshire Square bitter. I was saddened to learn that they have stopped brewing it, due to lack of demand from the supermarkets. However a friendly chap at the bar said that they brew a beer for Sainsbury's, in their 'Taste the Difference' range, that is for all intents and purposes the same beer. I've bought a few and will report back (probably tonight ).

    Update on Sainsbury's Taste the Difference bitter. Whilst it was tasty crisp pint, it didn't have the body or depth of Yorkshire Square and at £1.80 a bottle there are better and cheaper alternatives.

    ^^ Love your style Magirus, I always enjoy hearing about your sneaky couple at the local. You seem spolit for choice.

    I recently discovered this lovely lager, it is unique in a good way with a nice malt flavour.
