posh beers and ales and stuff thread

My local offie (in Sheffield had these in stock, along with 6-bottle cardboard holders!)

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not the biggest fan of the Brown Ale but I absolutely love the Pale Ale. I've not had the Chocolate Stout before and at over 10% it was like drinking syrup. V. tasty though!

Indeed, the lager is quite common up here (know two places with it on tap) but the other brews aren't very common. A nice surprise to find, I really enjoyed them when in NYC earlier this year. Lovely stuff.

I don't suppose anyone knows if they have any affiliation with a "Brooklyn Pub/Bar" in Greenwich Village, NY? It was a fantastic bar with a huge selection of bottled and draught beers. It's just that logo rings a bell.

 

I will 100% be going back there anyhow when I'm next in NY.

My housemate works in a Young's pub so I'm there quite a lot. Don't really rate this one though. I generally just drink the bitter, which clocks in at a cool 3.7%. I'm into weaker beer these days when I drink beer, which isn't that often. I'm more of a whiskey/spirits drinker, which let you get arseholed without getting bloated.

It costs 5 quid for 4 cans. Its not the nectar of any god. I regularly drink it though.

Excellent!

 

I enjoyed one of these yesterday:

 

 

And my other Pacific Northwest IPA recommendation would be this:

 

 

(Don't know why this pic has it in a pilsner glass though)

 

Edit: The Stone is one of the best Russian Imperial Stouts I've had. And Pumking tastes like delicious, drunk pumpkin bread all the way!!

This may be shandy, but Fentimen's Lemonade Shandy is the best fucking shandy you'll ever drink.

 

They also do these:

 

[Guest Iain C]

I'm quite keen on the Fentiman's drinks myself, although they're pretty expensive. I especially like the rose lemonade which goes down a treat with a ton of gin, and they do a cherry cola which is pretty tasty too.

Now drinking this Austrian lager:

 

[Guest boo]

most interesting thing i've had recently but it was a pint. korev just means beer in cornish though, so... yeah

[encey]

Had this last night; it was lush!

Tallgrass Oasis

 

 

FUCK YEAH! KANSAS! Buffalo Sweat is my favorite Oatmeal Stout. Oasis is very nice, also check out their 8-bit Pale Ale, it's awesome. We always go to their local firkin events and last Monday they had a new West Coast style IPA called Area 51, very nice floral/citrusy IPA. Hopefully they'll start distributing it, but the normal rep lady wasn't there so I couldn't get any insider info.

Back In Black IPA.

 

 

A local bar will have The Abyss available in October. Cannot wait.
