Just been to the 'offy' and came away with 3 Newcy browns (special offer), I'd forgot how good the stuff is.
Just right for a nice summers evening
What's your summer tipple?
Chiiled Weston's Autumn Glory from the cider makers shop just down the road. Nector
Bottle of dog. Ugh!
white zinfendell................................by the ltr 😀
Four words and the thread is over!
Hop Back Summer Lightning
fentimans ginger beer. no contest.
Tony, I can belief that. You have more to fill than me
🙂
and billybull it's 3 bottles. I'm sharing it with the dog, much to Mrs Vortex annoyance.
'stop it you wil make him sick' she keeps saying
"The big chill" from the Co-op!
Cheap as chips lovely dry white!!!
Erdinger Weissbier. Oooh yess!
(Though I did just tonight break a proper Muenchen-sourced-glass full of the stuff by kicking it over by accident. I have only one authentic receptacle left now (of four) .... another trip required)
PS. Haven't touched Newky Brown since University, ooh, 17 years ago now. It always intrigued me, when I was a regular on the stuff, how it, ahem, left the system in the same [i]shape[/i] it entered: A bugger to start.. ow...ow.. here's the neck.. aaand relax..
Badger - Golden Glory or whatever the flowery one's called
Harviestoun - Bitter & Twisted
(or summer lightning as the cap'n said)
Carling Black Label ( 😯 ) if I'm busy in the garden
Pimms! Made with all the fruit etc, beautiful! Glad this thread came up, was thinknig about this the other day! Anyone know what drink is advertised on Film4 sometimes, its a pale ish orange colour, and looks summery, served with ice. Not a beer or alcopops. Maybe a rum? Not sure...
i'm with monster on this one, although after a recent trip to somerset some proper cider hits the spot too!
Badger Golden Champion, "summer in a glass".
I rather like Blandford Fly for it's alleged insect-repellant properties, although the Captain's suggestion is as always difficult to argue with. 🙂
Tried Abbeydale Stormbringer over the weekend, rather tasty.
But there're too many good ales to just have one for a summer!
Summer Lightning
Summa Lightnig
Suma itnin
Summ
I'm liking Badger Hopping Hare a lot at the moment.
Hop Back Summer Lightning is great indeed.
As is Bath Ales Spa.
Butcombe (cue s****s) Ales here in Brizzle have turned their remarkable beer making skills to making "Butcombe Blond" which is technically a bitter but looks just like a lager (uses very pale malt) and some Czech hops I think. On draught, it looks like you're having a nice cold lager but tastes a hell of a lot better than the yellow shite in your mates' glasses.
I love Spring/Summer for the new beers that appear from the breweries.
this stuff is stunning...
