Beer, revisited

[verreauxi]

This one is decent. Sweet front end, a bit of attack at the finish, but nothing crazy. The name, of course, is one of these hipster-tries-too-hard ones though. Evil Santa sounds so 90s.

Not the best beer in the world but I never had a beer from Nicaragua before today

Vocation and Brew York combine to splendid effect with a sweet and tasty but surprisingly light chocolate stout. Excellent.

We go out to a country pub now and again, that’s a Lees pub.

I like their beers, but they remind me a lot of Sam Smiths in that they’re beers have quite a unique taste, that can divide opunion.

I think JW use their own yeast which is very old, or something like that

Their Harvest Ale can be quite delicious, some vintages topping others.

Got to love a bit of Leffe.

Really excellent approximation of a German bock from the folks at Good Chem, definitely one of my favourite styles is bock - dark, strong, sweet and a bit spicy.

Conversation between my mate and a woman at a beer festival in Stanley dock 30-odd years ago -
“can you pour that away please” ( J.W. Lees something)
“Is it not to your taste ?”
“Have you been washing your tights in it ?”

Why does virtually every pub nowadays, only served chilled Guinness ????

Whatever happened to normal Guinness ?
