Looked at tomorrows weather forecast, am now drinking a large G&T...

St Pierre Belgian Abbey Blonde

Best limit yourself to half a dozen then
Oakham inferno and JHB for me.

Old Jock, Broughton brewery. Then tea.

Hazy Jane

Milk from local cows. Those I greet when I go for a ride behind the house.

Smells and tastes of bananas.
Tallisker Dark Storm.

One of those malts I love. Complex, every naunce of it well balanced, cheap, but today...
Over the years I must have drank 4 bottles by myself and I've never sensed banana flavour in it, but tonight I'm having this little adventure coming from a dram.
Lovely.

That sounds very nice!

These last two nights after work I've been enjoying a couple of select cans of crafty loveliness from the likes of Cloudwater, Verdant, Northern Monk and few others...

Quality not quantity.

I'll swap you a case of Northern Monk for some Mont Blanc La Verte

I hate that stuff with a passion!

Noooooooo! We always call into the supermarket in Les Houches and empty the shelves of it before we leave

I was just in there*.

(*No jalapeños - that's my dinner plan scuppered!)

Mont Blanc brewery are not my bag at all but that's the beauty of beer - there's a flavour to suit everyone (and tea for those who don't indulge).

Rangpur gin with... wait...
Bitter lemon soda.

*must visit Gairy for a fatbiking trip somewhere around Val Veny or so*

That was half price two summers ago in the supermarket in the shopping precinct, that was a good holiday

Also quite the fan of the Canadian micro brewery and then head off for a hockey game...


Going back on topic, Warsteiner for me tonight

Nice!

If we're gonna get really off topic..... I've now got jalapeños and so dinner is back on!

Honey and sesame halloumi with jalapeño yogurt and tabbouleh - whallop!

Büro Weizen.
Beer52's theme this month is Oktoberfest. I'm not sure I'm digging it TBH...

We've had some fun nights in the BMC, usually followed by a drunken swagger back to the campsite at mer de glace.

I like that pull your own pint place next to the bike shop on the main street, that was a good find last year

O/O Brewing (0/0?)
50/50 Chinook/Citra IPA, 6.5%
Super sweet and juicy IPA from Sweden with a nice sharp grapefruity finish.

Black Storm IPA, 5.5%
Quite a russet colour, tastes like toffee apples.

Is that Chinook/Citra one of the Aldi jobbies? Must admit I do partake of their 99p 'craft' tins which are somewhat of a bargain: 'Freak Aleworks Phantom', ''Buckhorn Stateside', 'Ghost Dance', etc stacked up in the drinks cellar (*).

Don't tell anyone though or I'll get my Waitrose Loyalty Card summarily chopped up.

Innes & Gunn tonight for Reg, none of that colonial dishwater.

(*) drinks cellar: picture something in Frankenstein's castle....

Verdant Five AM

Reg, it's one of a number of expensive craft beers I've picked up for an evening of rule of six.

Next up is "Mornings on Mission Bay" from Alefarm. Slightly less juicy, a bit more hazy.

'99p' v 'expensive' - I'm out . (*)

Should be a nice evening, have fun

(*) 99p is expensive!

PS. "next up"..... So never mind 'Live BaM In Progress' you're 'Live BoozeUp In Progress', a first for This Place .
