Lervig/Magic Rock, Farmhouse IPA last night. Juicy, hoppy citrussy & slightly bitter IPA with a subtle, but present, funky bretty spicy yeast flavour. Really liked the balance. It was definitely IPA first, brett/funk second.

75cl again, but not that impressive. it's perfectly drinkable but more a middle of the road effort. and NOT very ipa'ish.

might have to pinch a sleighed in belguim to make up for it :-)

Currently drinking the penultimate bottle of my black IPA. It is a sad day as it has developed really nicely after not being sure about it to start with.

Whilst I was bottling my latest brew, I had some of Eden Brewery's (or Eden Mill as they are called now) 19th Brew.

Now I'm watching Ink Master and drinking my cascade SMaSH. It's still a bit bitter and lacking hop aroma/flavour but it's mellowing nicely.

I've had a lamentable (beer wise) evening in the pub, where I've drank four different bitters which were all rather average and indistinguishable from each other.

They were:
Youngs ordinary
Youngs London gold
Sam brooks wandle
Something else I forget what it was but it was a youngs beer billed as 'intensely spicy', but was about as spicy as my ****.

Frankly they were all a bit forgettable. I'd have had a pint of any of my own beers over these, any day.

Yet they were all nearly �£4 a pint.

I assume this wasn't a post-curry trip to the pub!

Ha, no. That was definitely the description of the beer. It wasn't very spicy at all though. The four beers were disappointingly similar and in-interesting

Be prepared to pay even more for Youngs beer as it was announced yesterday that they are adding 10p to a pint to cover the recent 'living wage' price rise

Bet that's just an excuse so they can screw more money out of the punters.
