Not a night with much variety but when it tastes good who cares pint number three of CML St Austell Salute.

Fine looking pint

Change of pace now. Imperial ? 6.6% ? Should it not be over 7 to be imperial ?

Thankyou as is so often the case with ‘clones’ it’s not overly close to what it is a clone of (Tribute is one of my go to cask beers in pubs so I like to think I have a fairly good idea what it should taste like) but as seems to be the case with a lot of clone beers it is a nice beer in it‘s own right.

Pretty certain this one has always being 6.6% but used to be described as an English Strong Ale, (which I would say is a perfectly respectable name) but I suppose Imperial is now the style (but yes I would agree when I think imperial I think big heavy stouts and even 7% seems a tad low to be considered an imperial.

Oh to be in Dublin tonight.

It’s a lovely beer and a good change from the hazy pales. English strong ale sounds a better description than imperial

Got some friends round tonight but I’m warming up before they arrive with a pint of bitter.

 

[Braumeister]

Triple IPA Verdant Putty. Think it’s 10%, at Siren beer festival, everything is a bit fuzzy now to be honest.

Well deserved, Ireland have a great chance of getting past the quarter finals in the autumn. 😉

All spear headed by the second most loved English man in Ireland 💪

I’m late to the bar tonight, only got in after 7 and have been watching the second half on +1 after successfully avoiding all spoilers on the way home.
I’m celebrating with a glass of one of the nice wines to start with.

Cheers @dave_77 for this hoppy Belgian pale

 

[LesTom]

An ALDI Czech beer which washed down my pizza well, not a bad drop at all

 

[dave_77]

On a Belgian pale myself
