I have indeed Alan, very nice it is too. Like a lot of these strong ales they don't taste their strength and can creep up on you! That said I have an Old Peculier and a King Goblin a chilling to have next. I was in the Vic on Wednesday and Michael phoned in to ask what dark beer we'd like and of course I suggested the Raven, so I'm hoping it might be on tomorrow afternoon . . .

I am drinking La Belle Saison from Roughacre brewery, a local team who have, every Friday since lockdown began, been delivering 4 pint flagons of various of their beers to people’s homes. The price for such munificence you ask, a whole £12! For four pints of real ale, brewed with care, delivered to your door for £3 a pint. When the next honours list is out I shall be putting them forward.
Back on this new favourite...

Few pints of Pride over a lazy lunch, supplemented with some Goose IPA from the PD machine (first time tasting this, very impressed)
Changed the keg out for one in the fridge & enjoying a couple of slow Kwaks. Still not a fan of the glass though, feels too much effort.
They’ve been going about 18 months, based in Castle Camps just into Cambridgeshire, they hit the ground running with some excellent beers from a mild to a reserve ‘Abbey’ beer plus porter etc. Were just getting into the pubs as well as bottles in local stores when the pandemic hit and they have leveraged social media big time, usually a choice of a couple of real ales posted up on a Monday for delivery Friday, very shrewd, pretty well certain of selling 2 firkins in flagons and once it’s gone then it’s gone. I’ve already signed the duty petition, such a ‘pull up the drawbridge’ proposal by those just outside the limits currently in place!

Great choice Bob - love a bit of HG Ruby!

A new one for me today.
Very nice too. I might jut have another one.
Anyway, enough of this. Demolition Man awaits.
Last night I enjoyed this rather marvellous Dunkel weizen:
... and an old favourite from Essex...
Cloudwater’s latest is lovely. A bit punchy at 8% mind....
This evenings hit parade.
Not shown, guzzled it too quickly, Crouch Vale Amarillo.
Then into a juicy, fruity new batch of Invoice from Deya...
And then signing off with a bit of Verdant DIPA action, courtesy of the latest batch of Fruit Car Sight Exhibition. It’s big and bold, fruity and full, perhaps a little green? 5 more cans in the fridge so I’ll leave this for a few weeks to see if it mellows out...
Right, Pliny and King Jukes toneet don't mind if I do

Marstons draught was not available, have to settle for Hobgoblin

14 quid a can? Worth 18 they charge in hipsters shops?
Worth every penny

Black Sheep. The quintessential Yorkshire bitter. One of my faves and a great brewery to visit and have lunch. Masham must be delighted to be home to both them and Theakstons.
