Beavertown Heavy Water Imperial Stout. It’s fucking well nice.

Oh snap! I got one of those last week. Saw it in oddbins and immediately grabbed one. Not had it yet, might have to be the Sunday afternoon beverage.

more beer!!

beavertown are very hard to find round my way, I guess I'd have to trek into Richmond to get some (I usually visit the beer shop after cycling around the park) its a bit of a mission with backpack stuffed with beer, bike and trains. but usually worth it.

tbh I'm glad I don't live really close to one of those plush beer emporiums, as is my waistline, liver and savings account... 

Yeah we got a wicked little new craft beer shop opened up here, but it sure ain't cheap...

it's a beer drinkers paradise nowadays, mad how things have changed! I bought the Real Ale Drinkers Almanac by Roger Protz in 91 and you can clearly see how almost extinct good beer was in the UK. Only kept alive by beardy weirdy Prog Rock fans (no beard for me but massive Pink Floyd fan so I qualified lol)

Most excellent

in the last month or so i've tried a few Trappist ales. thought they were overrated as fuck until i had an Orval, which was maybe the nicest beer i've ever had. truly lush.

Apparently if you keep Orval in the cellar for a year or so from bottling date, it gets even much, much more lusher (the strain of yeast they use in the brew is well known to improve with age)

Good luck with that...

I don't drink often

but had a couple of bottles of

Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout

a couple of days ago

wishing I had more now :)

Wow, Really Nice :)

This is true, see my earlier post about trying an Orval that was 3 years old.

Expanding my Trappist adventures with some Achel blonde.  Was really surprised, the aroma and taste were both exceptional:

welcome to the watmm pub diatoms

a funny thought struck me yesterday that perhaps this is one of the calmest, cordial and politest threads on general banter, which considering the subject matter is no mean feat!

Sláinte:)

Zeffolia if you haven't you should try and get your hands on the wheat beers made by Ayinger and Weihenstephaner, they are delish

You can usually get some over at www.beersofeurope.co.uk

I think the various styles of Bavarian wheat beers are my favourite of all beers. Huge flavour but refreshing. 

Went in my now local Tesco post-move and fuck me :^)

DELIRIUM!!!

hahah yes they also got 'em in my local Tesco, couldn't believe my eyes. Happy days : )

sometimes they send my store an odd case of something then it disappears (usually down my neck!) (Exmoor Beast, Cornish Orchards Vintage, McChouffe to name a few) but the Delirium seems to be a regular ting.

Love Delerium Tremens

remember a fruit themed DT from early 2011 (been a while), twas lush, heady & exceptionally more-ish, like this booze porn

yeah Tesco have been stocking some solid brews for a while. props to em. that was the first Trappist beer i had, actually. wouldn't bother with it again, even at £2.15.

Aw I don't mind Westmalle . I used to pick it up in M&S.
