Overnighting in London at short notice and currently drinking my first Youngs bitter for 10+ years. Happy to eat my words and admit its a pretty good pint and nothing like as rubbish as I remember. It's no IPA but its a good pint in here (wargrave arms, off edgware)
How much was said pint, Stoner?
Just out of interest like.
I have some Innis & Gunn IPA in the fridge. Will be sampling it later 🙂
A ring-stretching £3.40 for a 3.7% session beer.
Nuts.
Going back to the bar, and ill pop into the pub round the corner where I know they do old hooky
That Innis and Gunn is magic.
£3.40! Jeez, I was paying over a pound less than that in Mancy last night...
Still, glad it was nice!
If you like the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale try their Torpedo (IPA) - stronger and hoppier. If like me, you like American IPAs and there are loads, if you can find them. Some I've enjoyed are Goose Island, Dogfish Head, Odell and Flying Dog.
If you want a varied selection of bottled local ales i can recommend Pudsey Asda (near Leeds) - happened to be in there last night and they had thoughtfully displayed a selection of ales from all local breweries including Ilkley, Ossett, and Saltaire, plus many from further afield.
I now have some new brews to enjoy this weekend.
Not had enough Butcombe at my local. Will put a request in with our landlord...
Get thee to the Three Kings Inn in Hanley Castle. Though I visit only once a year (annual apple buying trip), they always seem to have a pint of Butcombe on. Mind you, it's a bit pricey these days - it's gone up to £2 a pint.... 😉
I know they do old hooky
I grew up in the next village to Hook Norton. Funnily enough, I've never drunk so much Hooky since moving away..!
My recommendations:
Prospect Brewery - Silver Tally (soon to become a local brewery for me - see Oz and James's trip here: [url]
Southport Brewery - Golden Sands (award winning)
Phoenix Brewery - Arizona (dry as its name)
Hook Norton - Hooky Gold and Haymaker (though few will beat Shining Light, the beer brewed to commemorate the 150th anniversary of my school - [url] http://www.hooknortonbrewery.co.uk/news2010/Shining_Light/Shining_light.html [/url]
Cairngorm Trade Wind; thread closed.
Meanwhile back at the St Peters IPA, how long have you guys had this conditioning for? Mine has been bottled for nearly 3 weeks, how long until I should try one?
The beer I like is better than the beer you like because I am better than you.
No?
Sorry, not too sure of the rules of this game...

I visit to look at her moustache.
BTW: this is a new lcoal brewery

and my local got a barrel of their Gloucestershire’s Glory 4.1% in the other day. One of the best new beers Ive ever drunk. Massive load of hops. Like drinking pure Alpha Acids! 🙂

It's good, isn't it. And the hair.

Should be fine but will improve significantly over the next few weeks.
Go on, crack one open...
