What's everyone suppin?

Bowland Brewery Pheasant Plucker and Moorhouses White Witch for me this afternoon...

Have a few Robinsons Trooper in too...

 

[Nigel]

Is this in the pub or in bottled form?

 

[Dozey]

If bottled it needs to be bottle conditioned. Enjoying bottle conditioned Pedigree this week.

Bottles...

Wish it was cask but too much on this weekend

Local ale…Wye Valley Brewery. Best on draught but bottles well. Butty Bach is a great session beer, grab it if you can find it out of the ‘shire.

 

[hifilover1979]

One beer that I rarely see on cask is Bass...

But down to Beaumaris on Wednesday for a good few nights and 2 pubs there will have it on cask

Curry half n half and a pint of Bass... Perfic

 

[Copperjacket]

Of the locally available, Fullers ESB and McEwan’s Champion. Belhaven Best used to be a firm favourite but to me it seems to no longer be the Beer it was.

 

[Enfield boy]

Bottled Old Hooky, nowhere near as good as the real thing. From the cask Old Hooky or ordinary Hooky Best Bitter are probably my favourites.

It's Belhaven Best we sup when up in Dunkeld...

I miss the 80 Shilling days...

New ones to me...

What Brewery are they from?

I had one of those last week, after an eight-hour hike through border country. Only three-quarters of it survived the thirty-second hike to my seat outside.

 

[hifilover1979]

Just remembered I've some Christmas ales from Booths in the garage too...

Just spugged them in the fridge

One of them is a stout called Lump of Coal. 7.8%

 

[monkfish]

Just opened a Petrus Belgian beer from Lidl, not bad at all, 7% and around £6 for four.

Fond memories of this (the Bass). Fifty years ago mind. The other stand out at the time( in cornwall) was Hicks Special. The myth was you were drunk before you saw the bottom of its pint glass…. Good to see St Austell brewery is still going strong. I’m in Cornwall so it’s products may be more prominent here.

 

[Copperjacket]

It’s a great pity that Alloa has been wiped of the brewing map. Maclay’s 80/ is a very fond memory.

 

[MUTTY1]

I suspect the fine distinctions between ales will become just a memory for a few years. Deffo a first world problem.
I can live with Stella Artois and Guinness if it’s gets really rough….

 

[Big Tabs]

session ale = Butty Bach or Red Dragon (?) or Red summat in Ireland.

 

[Seeker_UK]

I have a couple of bottles of this lined up for tonight; never tried it before

And while away this week, I found this on draft which was rather nice.
