Beer

[Jolemai]

Today will pass so, so, so slowly. But when I finish work - I get to sample these:

Any standout beverages?

The Ridge - Harviestoun. First time trying it and it's a lovely beer, not that I was expecting any less from Harviestoun. Quite expensive though.

I sampled a really good XT XPA yesterday evening in The Bricklayers Arms, Putney.

Rooster's YPA in the Garden Gate. Very good indeed.

Popped in to see my little brother and sister in law at The Waggon & Horses in Stourbridge and enjoyed a quick Draig Coch from The Great Orme Brewery. Thought I might catch a Langers about but unfortunately not. Left one behind the bar for you, mate, so enjoy!

I am currently enjoying a nice Sonnet Steam Beer. Excellent.

How very kind - thank you!

I was in there on Sunday night, it's so good in there that it's becoming one of my locals.

Anyone been to the Vine Inn in the Clent Hills? Planning a walk on Sunday that has the Vine at the half way point.

Don't think I've been there actually - I know The Fountain at the bottom of the hill and that's lovely. Excellent for food.

Just as a matter of interest, how many locals has Langers got...?...

The Fountain does an ace 'Butty board' on it's menu.

 

[Kenny]

Is the Fountain a dog friendly establishment? Might have to return for more wallks....

Ones I can walk to? About 5 but I only regularly go to 3 of them.

(Regularly = at least once a fortnight).

So 3.

I saw that on Twitter mate - gits!! I was going to stay in tonight and save money but I'll have to pop down for a pint of Thornbridge if I can. I love the stuff.

Have one for me, Langers. Jaipur's one of my all time favourites.....

It'd make my top 10 for sure. It's lethal though as it's so drinkable!

Is it still around 6%?

 

[Langers]

Is it still around 6%?

Yeah, just under I think. It doesn't qualify for the 'Half Pint Rule' IIRC!!
