Looks good and not far from us. Is it bottle only or do they do draught?

Bottle only, I am informed.

At lunch-time after a percussion concert at Royal Academy of Music I went to Wetherspoon's at Baker Street where I had a pint of Conwy Welsh Pride which is described thus ... Welsh Pride / Balchder Cymru. ABV 4.0% ALL YEAR BEST SELLER!!
A copper coloured bitter with a well balanced blend of malt & hops.
An initial rich, maltymouthfeel is rounded off by orangey / zesty hops and a touch of spice

Jolly refreshing it was too

Sainsbury Eurofizz for me, but at the end of the week it tastes good enough.
My customers and bosses could drive a man to cooking sherry !!
(or brewed fermented condiment, if there were such a thing.)

Have I mentioned Innis & Gunn Original, from the Coop? 6.6% but available in 330ml bottles for sissies like me Nice this week with a bit of cheese and a home-pickled onion.

Have the staff been able to provide any decent cheese, caws or fromage, ff?

Don't ask! The staff are currently getting my shopping at Tesco (but their Vintage Farmhouse Cheddar is probably as good as the Coop's).

I'm thinking of getting a cheese safe so that I can keep my cheese outside the back door. Is that what everyone else does or do you keep it in the fridge?

Surely in artisanal, entrepreneurial Bristle you could get things delivered, some Peruvian knitwear-clad teen trotting up the hill chez frankie with a solitary organic courgette or 100gm of Montgomery cheddar in his cleft stick?

It would nonetheless seem to exercise a ... stimulating effect, BBM!

Nearly two hours on and no update??! You taking little girly sips, or what!?

(I'll catch it for that adjective... or is Anna offline...? )

Ah well, one tends to forget ;)

Been busy having a look at internet media tv players!

I'd a pint of Dark Star's Partridge Best Bitter on Friday. Very impressive stuff. They've got a good reputation as a brewery, and judging by this and their Hophead, a well-deserved one. I like their Espresso beer too, with its hint of coffee, but I can see that it won't be to everyone's taste.

After attending the world premiere of Anthony Payne's fascinating reduction of Bruckner symphony no 2 at Royal Academy of Music last Friday I went to Weatherspoon's Metropolitan Bar at Baker Street and tried one of their Festival Ales, Twickenham Brewery's Naked Ladies. It had a very citrussy intial attack followed by an extremely hoppy finish - a real thirst quencher, I'd say

Sounds good, ams! Saturday, I had a couple of pints of Shepherd Neame Spitfire, and yesterday Harveys Blue label.
