Tonight at Sheffield Hatters Inn
My third beer delivery of the week arrived at 2pm, from Stori Beers in Bala, Gwynedd. This on top of my deliveries from Allendale and Williams Bros left me with a storage crisis, so I spent the afternoon putting together a couple more shelves for my cupboard-under-the-stairs. And now I'm reaping the reward for my labour, as I'm drinking the best bottled bitter I've had in ages. I know I was keen on the Allendale Wagtail 3.8% yesterday, my beer of the week so far. Stand by for a new beer of the week. This one is Cader Idris Bitter 4.0% from Cader Ales of Dolgellau. Described as a Welsh best bitter, the label makes no mention of which malts and which hops go towards this beautifully balanced bitter. The beer is lightly carbonated, and the malt is immediately apparent on first sip. But it's followed immediately by a hit of hops, followed by a lovely bitter finish. My only problem is that I only bought two of each beer, so I'm going to have to see if I can get some more.
