Good choice Tredman. Very nice pint, that.

I'm having a dark night (and I've just started watching Dark Knight on TCM!). Einstock Toasted Porter earlier, which was very nice and currently sipping a Firebrand Black Saison. Really not sure about this one though. Seems a bit sour on the nose. Dark fruit and wheat with some bitter chocolate but a bit fizzy on the tongue. Doesn't quite add up for me.

I felt exactly the same about the saison. I didn't know what it was trying to be, a bit muddled and a pretty poor brew.

Had a Greene King - Rumrunner at the pub tonight. It was surprisingly good. If you like I&G I'd definitely give this a try.

BeerBods tonight is Siren Craft Brew, Half Mast QIPA - https://beerbods.co.uk/this-weeks-beer/siren-craft-brew-half-mast-qipa/

It's a Quarter IPA. Meant to have all the punch and flavour of an American style IPA but at a very British session friendly 2.8% ABV

Been meaning to search out a Siren Craft ale for a while now, so I'm hoping for a little cracker tonight. May have to follow it up with something with a bit more kick seeing as I'm not having an all-dayer!

I've had this before on keg at a Brewdog. It's bloody lovely.

Hope it's better than this Sainsbury's Tap Room IPA....

It's just about walking distance from my house but as sandal ale is not my thing I have never bothered. It's not far past the Clarendon. From the outside I can never tell if it's open or not.

No, but I have been in The Kelham Island Tavern which is also included.

Not the Chapel Ash Clarendon, I presume?

I think DW means the Claregate. I used to live up the road, never went in. My loss by the looks of things.

 

[Nando]

Off here probably tonight, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening and then again on Sunday!

 

[Langers]

That's not straight.

Although they have a Tiny Rebel beer on. Try it. Or else.

Some properly good beer on that list Nando
