Beer, revisited

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Are we allowed to drink Red Stripe around here? Not a massive lager fan but used to drink that in the 051. Lovely drop of lager that.

Anyway I'm tempted to open a can of Guinness from the Christmas shop. Not because I'm a drunk or anything but because she's bought a festive hanging basket and made us both look like utter turnips. If I so much as change the loo roll without consulting her I'm the devil incarnate. Now she's trying to out Christmas everyone in the street but oh no, if she wakes up to the wet bandits downstairs who has to deal with them? Me. Absolute mug me you know.

Yup. Although I dis get pulled up in the fridge thread for hs ingredients redstripe in my fridge. Ignore the fridge snobs, it's alright.

Autumn in a glass from Siren, rye and malts with a bitter hop edge. Fabulous.

There are plans to open a craft tap-room in Garston Village - the corner of Seddon St and St Mary's in the Stalbridge Hotel.

Won’t work.

The Masonic, five mins away and a really nice little corner boozer, has recently stopped selling real ale.

There just isn’t the custom around there.

Aye it has. However, a part of that I do think is how the pub was run: the last time I went in, they were refusing to accept card payments.

‘Cash is best’ was the response. Err, yes it may be for you, but I only my card. From what I’ve heard, it’s being renovated to bring it back to life.

Oh wow, no way!

Yup. She’s from a small town nearby but she said Kolobrzeg (home of the brewery) is really nice. During communism, her town was known for its “Potato Institute”
