Disappointment of the week

[london calling]

It's made in London, I don't think you can question that

But just how proud are we of it?

Fullers were using pelleted hops many years ago. I have no idea if the argument that uncompressed hops are better is true or not.
When I went to the old Gales brewery tap in Horndean some twenty odd years ago the HSB they were serving was rank.
My opinion of it today compared to the opposition is thet it is way too sweet.

The best two fingered salute I recall to S&N was when one of the SW England micros brewed a beer called Newquay Brown.

Disappointment of the week was going out of my way to visit the Albion at Goldsmith Row to find only mundane beers on and then a 15 minute walk to find the Birdcage Columbia rd doesn't open until next week.Must do better research In future

My disappointment this week was finding that nothing had really annoyed me that much. Normally I look forward to something irritating me into a cataclysmic rage where I will quite happily gouge my own eyes out. This week nothing. Quite frankly it makes my blood boil!

See my review of the Bridge Hotel in Durham. I don't mind too much if a beer is not to my taste, and I don't normally give bad reviews because a beer is a bit off, but when a beer that I know can be pretty good, from a brewery that's normally reliable, turns out to be dross - well, it's pretty disappointing, is all I can say.

The pub is not in the 2014 or 2015 GBG, which means CAMRA would have marked it down in at the latest Jan/Feb 2013.

Thanks. I've amended my review slightly to reflect this.

I had a great night out on Saturday at Nottingham Greyhound races,i almost broke even and had a nice dinner and good company with a large crowd of workmates.

But the beer was Worthington Cream Crap,i still managed about 9 pints of the stuff though

Fuller's new 3.8% Oliver's Island golden ale - dull.
