Time for a pint!

Talk about shooting oneself in the foot indeed Theno. Made the mistake of introducing the better half to Benedictine. The bottles are not lasting like they were!

Schoolboy error SLKS

Our Beers - Timothy Taylor's

Timothy Taylor established the brewery in the centre of Keighley in 1858, moving to The Knowle Spring, our present site, in 1863. The principle of not accepting second best was laid down and remains with us to the present day. This means that the very finest ingredients are used to brew the best...

Those pictures make me thirsty BB
That new Poulters Porter sounds interesting. Hopefully it will be exported.

I have one of those in the fridge waiting for me. A great session beer.

2.8% BB???? That'd be called 'Maidens watter' around these parts!

My brother who lived in Canada used to call that stuff "Love by the Lake" because it was "F*****g near water"

So tonight’s celebration drink is from...drum whirls....Burnley! Great win tonight lads. Let’s hope for another three points next week against Cardiff.

That is a belting good beer Robin

Tonight’s pint is from your capital. Fullers have several decent beers and my favourite is most likely London Porter with ESB coming close behind. It’s interesting that Porter has always been strongly linked with English beer/tradition but always when I have visited England I have hard time to find Porter available on cask or keg. Is there actually people liking this style or does it belong to the past?

Decent pint. Our lads favourite away trip was always Brentford:
- Fullers Brewery Tour
- river boat trip
- all four of the pubs on each of the corners of the ground
- defeat (usually)
- back in the pub
- curry
- hotel locally
- ‘slight’ hangover

You'll struggle to find a porter in a "normal" pub but there are quite a few around in craft beer bars, usually with a bit of a twist to them.
Titanic brewery do a fantastic plum porter which you can see from time to time on draught. Yum

Funnily enough, I am brewing a porter at the moment with cacao nibs and chipotle chillies.
Tastes great and gives your throat a little kick on the way down!

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Ooh. That sounds good.

Sounds ruddy awful to me.

This is excellent news!
For far too long the brewing goliaths have ridden roughshod over pub tenants.

Heineken is "probably" the most bland beer on the market as far as I am concerned when compared with the Italian and Czech (Staropramen) lagers, although I'm really a real ale man.
