Craft Beer


A pleasant few hours were had in the Free Trade yesterday evening. Lots in enjoying the Collab beers and keeping warm by the fire.

Had an Elusive Brewing IPA (6%), Bristol Brewery West Coast IPA (6.6%), a Bluntrock DIPA 8% and a tropical stout (both breweries currently eluding me) coming in at 7.7%.

Blues got a TR takeover on. Not hugely fussed on them these days but there's three or few new uns I've not had so will head along later to sample.

I had a go of the (expensive) hardy barley wine at the weekend in there. Very nice
 
Mean Eyed Cat? Blues?

The Northern Monk/Timothy Taylor collab was lovely in the Dun Cow. Was hoping to get some cans in Morrisons but couldn't see it.
He's heading down to the big smoke to batter some Millwall hooligans iirc.
Stotting cans of impy stouts off their heads as he takes the beer mile.
The scene has already been set that there’ll be not much drinking happening. By our lass 😂

Think we’re having breakfast in the Rocket, so I’ll get a couple in there, dropping bags into the hotel, then need to be at the ground at 1pm cos the bairn is mascot. So bus from Russell Sq about 12. See what happens after, me & me dad might get out for a few if owa lass takes the bairn back to the hotel, but it’s been said in very clear language, the weekend is about the bairn :rolleyes:

Sounds great mate, I'm sure @Ambivalent Dave will keep us all updated on the beers you're missing out on.
