Rudgate ruby mild in the Templars Leeds - nice
Bottle of Tutts Clump Medium Dry Perry that I purchased at the brewery during a CAMRA trip earlier in the year. Rather nice.
I often have a couple of bottles when cooking. Tonight it's Saltaire Blonde whilst preparing a prawn curry. Just the job on a hot sticky evening.

Picked up 4 tins of Co-0p export ale.No brewers name but suitable for vegans so should be by a little brewer.Nice stuff but look at what goes in it.
barley
wheat
malted barley
hop extract
caramel
hops
yeast
calcium sulphate
calcium chloride
polyvinylpolypyrrolidone
carrageenan
According to RateBeer it's brewed by Cain's, another brewery I used to like a lot but fear it may have lost the plot.Originally Posted by london calling
The list is probably not as alarming as it looks. Hop Extract is a shortcut and possibly wheat. The Calcium Sulphate and Calcium Chloride are almost certainly burtonisation of the water, something most brewers do unless thay are located in Burton.
Caramel is commonly used mainly to change the colour. It only really becomes an issue if used in excess.
Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone would be finings as probably would be Carrageenan which is the only one I'm not too sure about.
Co-op bottled beers used to be supplied by Freeminer and were OK, The last time I tried one was in January.
Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone is used as finings as the traditional Isinglass isn't suitable for Vegans. Carrageenan is Irish Moss, added during the boil to promote clarity.
