Ale

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Not had a pint in over ten days (which adds up to a total consumption of two pints in three weeks - feckin hell), but post-operative problems are hopefully over and I'm planning on necking one of these beauts tonight... newly on in my local, landlord recommends the Waitangi which I've never tried and Ay Ups one of my favourites.



counting down the minutes

Fxck. Just got to the pub and the last pint of Waitangi is sitting in some greasy biker's mitts.
At Up it is then.

Bought a couple of these from a nearby orchard whilst in Somerset last week. I'm sure it must be perfectly illegal, this. No labels, no nowt. Just "A gallon of cider please" (oh, and some cherries).

It was until I spilled some of that cider on it.

I was in Somerset for a few years. The farmers would sell what was called rough cider. No filtering there so it had bits of this and that in it - possible maggots for all I knew. Unlike commercial cider then, it was flat and very powerful. Good stuff!

No need to go to Somerset, they serve just the same in The Man and Scythe.

Thatcher's scrumpy, you're never quite sure what the ABV is and nor are the staff. May partake this evening, fancy hitting the town TD?

Ah, sorry, but my town days are done buddy. Apart from an odd bottle of San Miguel or a drop of Spanish sherry or brandy occasionally, so are my drinking days. I have a decent history of popping through the looking glass though:

Nor sure about that, TD, as commercial sales probably had some restrictions. But in any case it would be seven hours by bus and train from Somerset to that pub.

Was just joking Monty. Strongest scrumpy I ever had was in a Ramsdens pub in Yorkshire. I had three pints and heaved the lot over a fence when the fresh air hit and I got a real case of the dizzy lizzies. Saw four of everything in technicolour.

Anybody tried 'Owd Rodger' yet?

The thatchers in the Cider House

Its barrelled at 8% but its unfiltered, so increases in strength

In the M&S they go through it quite quick so it doesn't get that bad

[KeyserSoze]

Might as well strip paint with it when it's from the bottom of the barrel.

New 'Gin Palace and microbrewery' in Churchgate. Replaces the Capitol/Varsity which was a dreadfully dull establishment.
