Beer of the Week

[hopwas]

The City Tavern in Brum is Highgate/Davenports - Jewellers Arms in Hockley also sells Highgate and i believe was their bigest seller at one point.

Thats the one.. The City Tavern! Didnt know Jewellers Arms sells Highgate.. Only visited it once in 2005.

Thanks by the way

Hhhmmm.....on second thoughts perhaps she just had a drink problem.

Perhaps that's what my doctor mean't when he said i had a MILD illness?

That is a great photo there oldboots, I had never heard it called the Davenports bridge, always just referred to it as the arches in the 20+ years I have been around Bristol.

A recent view of the arches through Google Streetview.

Depends when the advert was taken down I suppose, I used to visit friends who were at Bristol uni in the late 70s. We used to walk down there on the way to the pub(s) and called it what seemed obvious.

Mash Tun arrived today

Now I just need the rest of the brewery, somewhere to house the brewery, ingredients and some firkins to put the beer in...

It's a start though

Beer of the Week for me is..

Golden Thread (5%) by Salopian Brewery in Duke Of York, Lichfield.

Easy drinking. Fruity and very hoppy with hint of spices. Very nice and smooth.

Altogether now.( To the tune of 'All I want for Xmas is my two front teeth'.)

All I want for Xmas is my new mash tun.....

On the 3rd day of Christmas my supplier supplied me
3 Firkin casks
2 Fitted boilers
and a Mash tun for the brew-er-y

My beer of the week would have been DR HEXTER'S HEALER 5.0% ABV from West Berkshire brewery http://www.wbbrew.com/beers.html

For two reasons, one it was free [see free beer post] and two, it is an award winner for 2009

However, never tasted it 'cos I was driving & had GOOD OLD BOY shandy instead

OK, if we are going to nominate our favourite beer of the week, when do we take the week from, mon - sun? or am i being too literal
