UKRM Beer Reviews - Butcombe Gold

OK lets have a new and more popular meme to replace phones. Lager
drinkers can FRO now.

We really should do a UKRM Throws Up in every York Brewery Pub weekend

It's a nice pint, definitely. I like the Blonde too.

I'm going 'Up West' with a couple of mates tomorrow night, but since I
didn't choose the venue(s), I fear that I won't be seeing a lot of ale.

 

/me has his annual pilgramage to The Jerusalem Tavern planned for Monday
the 21st

Which is nice

Hook Norton Brewery's "Double Stout" - fucking lovely.

Not quite as nice as Young's "Double Chocolate" but at least my local
Sainos actually stocks the Hook Norton stuff.

Oh, and in case this wasn't quite southern pansy foo-foo enough for
you, I am also quite partial to Fruli Strawberry
(http://www.frulibeer.com/)

 

Flavoured[1] ale: it's just wrong, wrong, wrong!

[1] i.e. with something other than hops

 

Ah, one of my favourite London boozers, that.

 

I think we need to have a Constitution that includes remaining open
minded, discriminating against only those "Queers of the Drinking
World". Habitual lager drinkers.

Double Choc and Fruli are both jolly nice.

 

Fantastic stuff is that.

 

Coffee flavoured Coffee - Beer flavoured Beer sketch springs to mind.

 

get ye to the '70s.

 

Sounds nice.
About 1/3rd of a mile from my front door is: www.molesbrewery.com I will be
placing my order later next week. Their christmas ale, Moel Moel and another
'pin of Rucking Mole should do until New Year. Schluuurp.

I went to a beer festival the other week (the pub next to St Deny's
railway station) and most of the beers on the menu were ones with stunt
flavouring. If the description mentioned "fruity" it tasted like ribena,
etc. Very horrible and I shall be more cautious in future I think.

 

Mmm nice.
You don't live far from the lovely Bee.

 

9 pint mini kegs available from the Brewery shop. I forsee a Bristol
trip.

 

And Burnt. He's only 20mins up the road too. Not to mention The 2Pigs:

Nice down here it is. 'Specially if you've got a trailie bike too, as we've
got Salisbury Plain (big FO playground) about 5miles away too..

Must check in mine. I'm quite partial to a drop of sump oil hued beer
myself. Can't find the Young's on beermad. Was it a victim of the take
over by Wells?

Unfortunately, IMO, Bullmastiff no long brew their 'Ebony'. For
seriously dark beer, without actually being a 'stout', Sarah Hughes Ruby
Mild 6.0% ABV takes some beating. I'm only a few (but too many to walk)
miles from the brewery tap.

Burn the witch.

 

There's probably an app for that.

 

no - it's still extant - just not available in any supermarket near
me, though can still be had in the likes of The Paternoster.

Waitrose also sell the Hook Norton Double Stout, if that's more
convenient for you than Sainsburys.

 

it's like deja vu all over again.
