Beer, revisited

Asda. They have a few shelves separate from your usual suspects that contain the craft ales. That can cost £1.25 and it was delicious.

Cheers.

All the Holts beers are usually very good.

Last nights offerings :

Wobbly Weaver 4.3% - Martland Mill ( Wigan - new one to me )

Gold - 4.5% - JW Lees.

I was on the fence with the Weaver, as it had a bit too much going on, but the Gold was good, crisp and sweet - would make a good curry beer.

“Craft brewed in Wigan” is sort of like saying “Bespoke quality from Blackpool”

Hey hey, it's a 2011 Parabola, a barrel-aged imperial stout from our friends at Firestone Walker of Paso Robles, California. At 12.5% alcohol it's a deep, smooth charmer; the years have smoothed its edges and sublimated its booziness. The 22 oz bottle is certainly more than I need. No one here drinks but me, though, so I'll have to step up and be the hero.

Firestone does some good stuff!

I spent a day sat off at Magic Rock Brewery in Huddersfield a short while back. Some of their stuff is amazing. High Wire, Inhaler and Ringmaster are a good drink to sit on through the day. NeoHuman Cannonball is great as a nightcap.

Anyone use the Untapped app, you can check in beers, rate them and where you're drinking, Whilst that might not be your thing, it also lets you see what beers others have checked in. So if you're not in your usual locale you can get a good view of what decent pubs are nearby

I'm not registered there but if I've heard of some brew that I'm interested in I might look it up on Untappd to search for ratings from my area. It's a fairly handy workaround when breweries don't provide detailed distribution info.

Very nice pint, hazy session IPA with loads of flavour. Very like a lot of American “craft” beers.

Salopian beers for me when conditioned right are all a 7 to 8/10
