Beer

[machin05]

With my tin hat on given my lack of German knowledge, I always thought that the noun lager was a British invention of the 1960s (only suited to maiden aunts), lager being the verb to store. Light colour German low temperature bottom fermented beers (that is it takes ~3 months and therfore stored) were called Pilsner after the Pilsen, Czech Republic model (been there!). Alt is generally a darker version. I'm sure that German beer is far more diverse than my brief general summary.

The irony is that to lager a beer takes longer than the usual fermentation process for ales, but it became so popular because brewers could make brew it quickly and cheaply using modern techniques (carbonation instead of secondary fermentation).


That verse didn't make it into the Alanis Morrisette song.

Very nice beer, but always smells a bit...... eggy??

Marston's Pedigree was described affectionately in an eighties Good Beer Guide as having the aroma of a wet dog, back in the day that you could rely on the local stuff rather than it's now over exposed national market.

Sounds like you might have experienced stale pipes or a barrel starting to quack to me. Can't say I've noticed but now you're put that seed in my mind I will be looking out for it tomorrow.

Can't wait actually, the hours are counting down too slow!

No, it's definitely the brew. Different pubs, different Enville beers, all have that certain aroma.

Going anywhere nice?

Must be me then, I've never noticed it.

Going anywhere nice?

Nah, just down the hill. Should be good weather for a nice walk round though.

Indeed. There's less of the eggy aroma in the Enville White though. Which is why it's my favourite of the Enville Ales.

For those who may be interested, there's an Enville Brewery beer festival at the Summerhouse on the Newhampton Rd. next weekend.

I don't think I've had a beer in a month or two... may have to fix that.

I don't think that I've had a beer in an hour or two. I need to fix that.

Anyone want to see Guinness's latest advert?
Caution... It's not as good as they usually do.

It's called, 'Paint The Town Black'

away you go.

Instant FAIL for not using Paint It Black by The Stones.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Yeah!
Good one! That would have been deadly!
Never thought of that, unless they couldn't get past copyright stuff or whatever it is you've got to get permission for...

Staropramen. Class.

I like German lager but never drink lager here.

Horrible lager, they sell it in the Littleton.

Enville White is on a par with Glow for me.

Enville White is really nice. The Enville brewery is a superb place should you ever be in the area. Pop into the Cat in Enville too - brilliant pub.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Just thought I'd pollute this real ale thread with some free lager.

Text the dutchman your name, if he likes the sound of you you will recieve a voucher for a 4 pack! Got mine already.

The Cat is indeed ace, unfortunately it has been shut everytime I've ventured down that way for the past 15 years. Probably best to go on the night if your planning a trip down there

Yes, it shuts after lunch. Bloody rural pubs.

Please does anyone know of any offers o thatcher's cider bottles (Preferably Katys) ?

I fancy about 10 bottles tonight but if I get from my local offy it will cost about 30 quid!

I live in Dudley.
