I had the same beers that night (and a couple of sneaky Old P's) and I felt a little rough the following day, much to my surprise :  . The stout was the pick of the bunch though.

[dave]

tell me about it. also i think they'd run out of that stannington stout on wednsday, but thats good anall.

[Jim]

As I was driving I could only have a coule of pints of village (3.6%). Would to have liked to of tried more Ales but most of them were +5%

[David S]

Bad look on the driving front

i think scouse n kim were drinking some spanish ale in the dev cat, i think it was called 'san miguel'

[Dolly]

Tried Abbeydale Brewery Devotion in the Dev Cat last week. My new fave replacing Moonshine.
Bloke in the real ale offy on Archer Road tonight recommended Black Mass. Said it was "quite easy to drink"
Personally I always find that a bit of a plus when it comes to beer.

time for some southern flava...





i imagine the xmas ale would make the dear baby jesus sleep quite well...

[Bubba]

This is nice:

Ale Mary

It has a warm and sweet aroma of cloves corriander and ginger. The palate provides touches of rums, raisins and sultanas with a dry fruity finish. Winner of the 2001 Guardian Beer Festival.



For Sheffield folk, you can get it (and lots of other interesting beers) at Mitchells, Meadowhead.

we've got the youngs brewery down the road in wandsworth...still haven't managed to go there though.

daan saaf, well, there's harvey's sussex bitter, which is abso-fucking-lutely the best, in your narrator's humble opinion. then of course there's bombadier, flowers (another sussex one), spitfire from the finest kentish hops, and london pride.

one of my flatmates is a bit of an ale freak, drags us round pubs in the middle of hackney housing estates to taste eclectic ales...

[Yossarian]

not the wenlock arms by any chance?

[Duma]

i've got to say this shit is the bomb:



its a bo beer, and its tastes of muthafukking peaches shamone - that right, peaches! F-FF-F-FFF-FFresh

ahh golden glory - 'the ladies ale'

this

is fuckin A - late hopped, whatever that means, for sharpness like lemon

also bit off topic but this is my all time favourite beer:

[Bubba]

Chocolatey liquoricey goodness:

Wentworth Oatmeal Stout

[dave]

that outmeal shit is the bomb - top tip, get a bunch of mates and arrange a trip round the wentworth brewery. it'll cost you a fiver, they have a small bar and will pour you as many pints of oatmeal stout, WPA, rampant gryphon etc etc as you can drink. looks a bit like this:



word!

[dave]

P.S. i'm currently enjoying a pint of this ill shit:

[Jim]

Hopback makes some top draw ales. didn't know they made a stout. I'll have to keep my eye out for it

Now that sounds like a shit hot rainy day activity

Where is the brewery?

[dave]

its in wentworth. Confusing i know, what with it being called wentworth brewery.......:wink:

[Bubba]

I could have worked that one out, couldn't I?

[dave]

it a bit like catchphrase with roy walker - say what you see, say what you see. whats mr chips doing? its good but its not right.

[moose]

word to those who believe black is beautiful:

Wickwar Brewery's - Mr Perretts Traditional Stout 5.9%

- dead tasty, incredibly rich compared to most stouts I've had.  Made last night's trip to see Newcastle defeated by mendacious spaniards bearable.  

And, for those who are interested in ruining their winter grit form, the Durham Beer Festival is coming soonish.  Held on  1-3 September (Thurs-Sat) in Dunelm House (the hideous Student Union building).  It's a biggie - around 80 beers - including lots of good local ones (Durham Brewery, Wylam, Mordue etc).  On past exposure I can guarantee the presence of some awe-inspiring beer-guts... be there.. or be fit and healthy....

[Bubba]

Time to revive this decadent topic:

Just drinking a bottle of Young's Double Chocolate Stout



Wow! it's like beer with chocolate in - sounds gross but is really yummy. That said, I doubt most people would want more than one bottle - it's like a "pudding beer" or something.

* alky disclaimer:
I wouldn't normally be drinking ale on a Monday afternoon but I was working from midnight last night 'til 6 this morning and am now wide awake again after only 3 hours kip...so I reckon I'm allowed

[dave]

word bubbla, that double choc chip is truly a flava to sava. reet good beer, no doubt!!!

[Jim]

any time after 11 in the morning is acceptable in my book

[a dense loner]

but your book also claims that you can train whilst drinking mahitos'
