Beer

[Langers]

There are some staggeringly wankered CAMRA types in here...

Sadly, I'm not amongst them.

You're the antithesis of this man:

That skit is so British it almost hurts.

Just had a pint of Bonks's in the Lamplighter, St Helier. Swiftly followed by a Young's London Gold.

My wife's friends husband runs his own brewing company (Fownes Brewing Company). Apparently they are selling some of their ales at The Waggon in Stourbridge. I've never tried any of their beers so would be interested to know if they are any good or not.

Oooh - I have actually tried a couple of those in The Weavers in Kiddy (thoroughly recommended pub). One is called Frost Hammer (an IPA) and was very tasty indeed. I gave it 4/5 on UnTappd so that's a decent indicator!

Thanks for the heads up Dan - I'll see if I can sample some the next time I'm in the Waggon (probably Sunday).

Langers is to ale, what T-Dog is to 90s indie.

I think that's a compliment..? :icon_lol:

I actually remember T-Dan mentioning Fownes a few months back and when I had a couple of their beers, I recall remembering the name, but not where I remembered it from!

You clearly didn't have enough of said ale if you can remember it.

Not necessarily the case if it was good! Always remember the good ones!

Good to hear positive things about their beers, I'll have to try one when I get a chance. James Fownes also has an AWESOME beard (or at least he did last time I saw him).

Doombar in Louth. Very nice indeed.

Ah - the James Milner of 'ales'.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Solid premier league but you always wonder where all those medals came from?

Sort of - also, totally boring and devoid of any charm whatsoever.

 

[machin05]

It's not THAT bad!

 

[Jolemai]

You winge about Doombar more than DW does Doherty.

 

[leedswolf]

Doombar is meh!

 

[Alan]

Technically not beer, but made by the same process... Is there a komboucha market in the UK?

 

[The Bear]

I've tried Doombar. I'm not an ale drinker but even I thought it was meh. Not much of a particular flavour and just, well meh.

 

[machin05]

Meh, yeah, I agree but it's not the worst pint in world. That accolade belongs to Deuchars.
