Dregs of a cask brewed last November. Not clear, not exciting just tired. Just about drinkable.
Discarded the bottom 'crust'.
This is more like it!
Cask Westerham Spirit of Kent.
Fresh and bitter and hoppy.
Everything my pale ale wasn't!

A very fine table beer
Followed by an excellent NEIPA

More of the same, this Spirit of Kent needs to be finished.
Probably tomorrow by the lack of weight in the cask.
Dessert time. Mrs70 made some lemon and lime tartlets this afternoon, I made some Chantilly cream this evening. They are the perfect backdrop to let the Californian Black Muscat explode on the palate. It’s a belter of a sticky, highly recommended!!!

FOUND BEER IN TUNISA
got 2 bottles. Asked to take 2 with me and got the death stare.they can sell it on-site but it’s a capital offence to allow it to leave the premises I have no idea why Muslims allow people from other culture's into their country. I mean I’ve been to Türkiye a strictly muslin country and they allow other cultures to co exist but this place is another level.

Simply, at the end of the day the elite can ditch their dearly held religious beliefs if there’s money in it for them or their regimens.
I avoid these sort of places for exactly that reason which is a shame. There’s a lot of North Africa and the Middle East that otherwise I would really like to see.

It’s a fantastic place and the culture is a lot older than ours with a diversity that is something to behold but a tour guide that had us on a camel ride in the desert could not explain why hotels could sell alcohol but as soon as you step outside the gates it’s an offence to have/sell/consume alcohol. I personally hate all religions for the devides they deliberately cause. Are Muslims at fault ? Or is western culture at fault ? I think alcohol has been around longer than organised religion and the world is mostly the better for it
Well, I’m a big fan of alcohol and not a fan of religion, so I reckon we’re on the same page
I’ll continue to indulge my interest in North African and Persian culture through food and literature but not in person.

You've not been for a while then?
The last time I was in a pub, two quid a pint was fairly common unless it was something fancy, that's inflation for ya!
The local Wetherspoon is around £3 a pint for its cheapest Ruddles.
Mind, my local Microbrewery that sell proper, nice tasting beer is £6 a pint. Worth every single penny.
Terrible traffic down the motorways so pitched up and grabbed the first beer I could find, don’t remember buying it so no idea how long it’s been in the van.
Had a bit of luck as I’d booked the wrong nights but they had one space left for tonight

A lovely day here, so a mojito is in order

Been disappointed with the local Marstons pubs recently so am in the sole local Greene King pub with a Mango Pale Ale which has not restored any faith in GK. Artificial tasting and thin. Tip to visitors to the West Midlands. Find a Black Country Ales pub!
Yesterday I kegged a new batch of Pirate Pale. This is the first pint. We have friends coming round for a few beers but I think I’ve waited long enough, they can catch up 
One left over from last weekend, it’s a nice easy drinking pale ale.
The second glass is looking a bit better, a bit more clear and a slightly better head.

Having a chicken Xakuti ( Goan with coconut, red chillis, ginger, garlic )
as a change from my usual Dhansak.

That sounds good I’ll have to keep my eye out for one.
