How is it? Schwarzbier or Black IPL?
Quite oaky, but in a very good way. I’ll be buying more of this.
Made the label myself. I called the beer Prince of Darkness so obviously it needed a picture of Dracula

I’m in Chania at the moment and it is hot so a glass of FIX Hellas and a slice of pizza before I continue my walk. Beer is a fairly generic but decent larger, I doubt I would drink it at home but after walking in 28°C heat it is like Mana from heaven. Also the pizza is really good €4.50 (£3.81) for a beer and a large slice of wood fired pizza is pretty good value.
Busy day today brewing a beer and cleaning my beer lines. Time for a beer, cask Pirate Pale.
I'll be there on Sunday. Looking forward to my annual Greek island fix, excuse the pun
.
This is the kegged version of my Pirate Pale. This beer has had longer to condition. It’s more pale, is crystal clear, and the flavour is brighter - there’s a grapefruit zest that’s missing from the cask version at the moment.

Kotaifali (local house red) this is why I like travelling in Europe restaurants actually try to offer good quality house wine. No it’s not some great aged Burgundy but it’s a decent easy drinking red that costs less for a half litre than I pay for a 175ml glass of pretty mediocre at best red in a pub or restaurant.

Never had a good cask AIPA style beer.
It’s an English Pale Ale. The cask bitter was beautiful so I’m hoping the pale ale might also be good but it is a bit of an experiment.

Went to St Bernard Abbey in Charnwood Forest. No brewery tours today but bought a box of the breweries two different beers, a Trappist Blonde and Trappist Dark.
Supposedly the only Trappist beers brewed in England. The Blonde was my favourite, the dark was like an Old Ale strong and sweet.

Haven't been around these parts for a while. A cycling holiday last weekend meant I wasn't posting.
Back at it this week and with a 2pm finish I called into my local bottle shop, they have recently opened their own brewery, cask only at the moment so this afternoons beer was their citra pale ale, very nice indeed.

What I really appreciate about them is they don’t try to copy a Belgium Trappist beer but do their own take on it I.e. an English Strong Ale.

Landlord.
I have four pubs within walking distance of home.
Two eating pubs and two with unreliable beer. Caught a bus to town and am faced with ten pumps of nectar.This is Salopian Oracle.
Happy Friday folks.
I’m opening proceedings with a pair of French 75‘s. Chin chin!

My 4 dry weeks are up and I managed to lose half a stone (thought it would be more tbh, but hey ho), so am easing myself back in with a Fullers Porter.
My Full English Best Bitter.
Mrs70 enjoyed her French ‘75 so much she’s having another. I, on the other hand, have opted for a Corpse Reviver No.2.
