I'm really liking all of Great Divides beers ales and stouts. this one is nice. the first one I had I drank from a glass, maybe the wrong type of glass. I'm enjoying the second one straight from the bottle. hmm.

I just had that for the first time a few days ago. liked it. I'm not a huge Belgian / sour guy, but expanding my horizons. Great Divide is solid. I recommend their barleywine, Old Ruffian. if you're feeling like stepping it up

Drambuie - £15 a bottle in Asda right now and has been for ages. Couldn't resist tonight, in case it goes back up to £25 which is the normal price next week.

Been experimenting with making my own whisky liqueurs recently as well, it's surprisingly easy to do, but I can't make it cheaper than Drambuie is in Asda just now, not even with the dirtiest cheapest nastiest whisky.

BBC article on American beer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21541887

Once widely mocked, US beer is now popular globally with hipsters and connoisseurs alike. Why is the world buying in to the American brewing revolution?

Not so very long ago, American beer was a joke. And a weak one at that.

To international tastebuds, it meant bottled lagers like Budweiser, Miller or Coors - commonly regarded by self-respecting drinkers as bland, corporate and lacking in credibility.

An explosion in independently-run microbreweries producing lovingly-created, strong, pungent, flavour-rich ales has transformed the reputation of the product.

So basically America has stolen all our best beer recipes and is now selling it to Germany as their own?

i drank Trappist in a pub in Amsterdam that had on its walls photos of famous people visiting the pub and sure enough there was a photo of Herman Brood. so i had to explain to everyone present the story of this guy they never heard about and also the connection to another guy they never heard about, in ecstatic words. they probably thought i was drunk. it was indeed stronger beer than i'm used to.

i'm auditioning various low abv "session" beers to bring to the desert for my birthday weekend party. of course beers like Bud or Corona are good for drinking all day, but it would be nice to bring something better.

I always liked the idea or intention of nippers, 7 oz bottles. It never really works out as planned but they do stay cold.

With beer and posing with friend. Beer was pure. Drank loads, for me anyway. No ill after-effects, at all. Why isn't all beer like that?

I can tell you how good german beer tastes from the immediate vicinity of the Warsteiner brewery. Also vaginas. Two weeks inhaling asbestos on a building site did not prepare me for the heavenly taste of those jugs. That's livin' allright.

I can almost taste those from here Benji, in my mind. Are they brewed in NZ? I like a nice chewy stout. I'd love to go there. My mate went there and built some of the shire+his sister stitched Bilboa Baggin's knickers. The countryside looks like something totally outwordly, I could really do with some of that. Fuck living in suburban Scotland anymore.

yes, both brewed in NZ.
and sorry about the enormous size.
the 8-wired one is only a new release and it is quite unusual. I have used alot of fresh hops for making home brew, and that fresh hopwired tastes exactly like the fresh hops smell.
the emersons one is a very chewy stout, with a hint of salty seaweedy smell. hmm, getting thirsty.

scenery not too dissimilar to scotland.....
