Beer, revisited

[COYBL25]

Very nice, forgot how good it was. Had a pint of Tetly's, which I haven't had in a long while, very nice. Also had a few of :

Apparently, a take on a 80/- (shilling) Scottish beer. Never heard of an 80 shilling beer, but it was lovely, if you like malty beer, which I do. Topped off with a whiskey chaser, double Black Bush for a little over 4 quid.

Got in a conversation with a group of fellas who would be the epitome of the Oldies thread. One of them came up with a great one liner : Liz Truss would be out of her depth in a bird bath. lol

Such a traditional pub in the best sense of the word.

Tetley’s cask is sublime, when we’ll kept, much like draught Bass.

Sadly, both seem to be a bit of a rarity now days.

The Roscoe really is a special pub, as is the licensee, who took on the Pub co and won.

I did drink Tetley's a fair bit in my halcyon days, but I haven't seen it in a fair while. You're right though, it's one of those ales that is all or nothing.

80 and 70 shilling beers were all I could find when I first went to Scotland, 1989. I’m sure it was a reference to the amount of duty paid per barrel, I remember them being quite sweet. Great range of ale in The Roscoe these days.

I just love traditional pubs, with no expensive, unnecessary 'improvements'.

Increasingly rare breed sadly. Is the Roscoe safe or still under the beady eye of developers?

This is something really different from Siren:




Chardonnay barrel aged lager. Awesome hit of grape on the nose, repeated in the taste with a bit of candied pear. Never had owt like it.

I see the owners of West Ham‘s ground are charging £7.60 for a pint of Moretti…scandalous really. I hope we take a sensible approach at BMD ….

Anyone recall Higson's Double Top?

What was this?

 

[LEONARD]

Yep, it's safe :

I was in there a couple of weeks ago.

No banging music, some good ales, clean and tidy, and a friendly barman.

Mature gents and ladies, reading newspapers, or actually talking to each other.

I thought I had gone back through a wormhole.

And, you can sit outside because the road was closed. Might not be now, I'll have a look/pint at the weekend.
