I get from reading blogs and pub groups that most people don't seem to like Holdens beers.Used to see them around London years ago but found them pretty average.
Brentford got battered.
Went down to my local to watch the Brentford game but thought fancy a pint of hophead for a change.Went to a Fullers pub on the river at Chiswick ice cold cask,thin hopless beer and £5.45 .
When drinking at home I always have a dark beer to finish but tonight's beers was a pale reddish/pink.i had bought a pavlova pastry sour rather than the pastry stout I thought it was.Drat!
The Gazebo Kingston was shut yesterday .Another Sam's pub.
I prefer it with a sparkler or at least.pulled through a hand pump.Ihave only been to a few Camra fests in the last 5 years are most of it is just dropped from the cask which I don't think does it...
All cask beers should be pulled through a sparkler.
Got to say although I tick lots of new beers at the Southampton I cannot remember ever getting a great pint.They tend to be a bit flat for my liking.
Good to see the Earl of Essex has again got cask.Used to be a must visit pub when I was in the area.
I was in the Railway richmond .They had about 10 pumps with 8 with London Pride clips.Did not linger.
As from tonight back in my cage drinking supermarket beers due to the latest virus news.
That ice cold and tastless pint of jaipur in the thornebridge pub.
Went out of my way to try the recently opened Watermans Arms Barnes again.9 beers on cask 4 brown beers 4 stouts and 1 black ipa.Too many beers for the turnover and even as a dark beer fan too many...
Got a pint of St Peters -plum porter for only £1.59 in Wetherspoons using a voucher.What could be disappointing about that.Sadly it tasted like medicine so left most of it .Flat as well.
That will have been a plastic key keg.Have heard that they can sometimes explode.Quite dangerous if you are near one when it goes.The barman didn't say the beers on me and the walls and ceiling.
Yu LU is a great beer and would be brewed with real tea and lemon rind.Laines beers are pretty rubbish imo.Could have been bad beer you can never tell with cask.a Cask Marque tester who is often on...
You are both right Cascade and Amerillo
Thornbridge are one of my fav brewers and have drank at least 6 new beers from them in the last year that I though were superb.Nicolson pubs seem to have them...
One of their flagship beers but has never impressed me.
There is a new London brewery called Nirvana who do low and no alcohol beers. Tried a bottle of Cosmic Stout 0.0 Smelt like Horlicks and tasted like Horlicks.Nasty stuff imo .Surprised as thought...
They seem to have a good selection of Camra recommended pubs in that area imo but the 6 contenders do look a bit dull.Some of my favourites for good beer are East Dulwich Tavern,Westow...
When in the new local micropub had an excellent beer from Kew brewery and decided to have a bottle of Weird Beards latest new beer at the reasonable price of £3.99.They have always done 500ml...
Not really Late Knights is gone and I think this is an ex brewer who has bought the kit. Hard to believe that he was brewing at Late Knights.The original owner is opening a brewery in East...
Went to a new brewery tap in Penge.Southey brewery. Tried 2 cask and one keg but they were dreadful as was the taproom. Trains were a bit of a nightmare as well. A well onwards and upwards.
My disappointment of the week was another visit to the Sussex Arms Twickenham their beer range seems to be from the cheapest brewers they can source.Again poor tasting beers served ice cold.
He used to be and maybe still is a beer ticker.He tried to bring a more varied range of beers but if the pub lost its Camra beer guide place its not unreasonable to think the brewery may be upset...
