Tend to agree. I don't mind a pint outdoors on a sunny day-sunshine seems to increase the volatisation of the ingredients of the beer, but as I spend all day outside, it's good to relax indoors. I'll...

You say that, but some of the old timers in The Three Chimneys twenty five to thirty years back would leave a table crammed with Gold Label bottles at the end of the evening. Not that they drank 'em...

Just the Green Berry and the Smack. The latter not since the 70s,however.

Stillage every time for me, especially for low turnover beers.

Very sad news indeed: I enjoyed his contributions to the forum, and his opinions on various obscure Essex pubs that I was planning on visiting.

Ten for me.

Yes, I've had this a couple of times. One of Cellar Head's Single hop pales is currently Bullion, though I don't think it says it on the label. This cultivar seems to be largely re introduced by...

A bit out of my comfort zone, but I was intrigued by a collaborative Barley Wine with North Brewery when I was ordering more moderate fare from Good Things Brewing. At 10%abv, a 440ml can was too...

Just recieved a box of hedging plants. Despatched yeserday, delivered early in the time frame. Van looked a bit ropey, though.

The Bookmakers Arms could well have been a Bookies converted to a micropub, but in fact was a kitchen shop in a previous life. It takes its name from the Turf Accountants who attend the Point...

None for me, and I'm afraid I can't warm to any of 'em, with the potential exception of the Crumpled Horn.

For RPAdam, who probably knows this already: CellarHead are releasing their Session Pale using Strangs#7

Really wanted to drink a pint of something, rather than some incomprehensible metric volume. I'd discovered that the post office sells canned Harveys, so I treated us to a mini keg of Sussex XXXX Old...

Grim reading. (I'm not a CA member,by the way.)https://www.countryside-alliance.org/news/2021/1/ca-survey-reveals-rural-pubs-on-brink-of-closure

Marrubium vulgare, a perennial in the mint family. Bitter menthol. Used as flavouring in beer pre-hops, and allegedly still.

Nor me.

Wonder what would happen to Bassin this scenario, as I would doubt if ABInbev would want Carlsberg involved?

Not particularily.
