Archie McSquackle Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Beer always tastes better when it's free (I know I paid for it in a roundabout way). This was left for us on our arrival at our accommodation- a white beer from a local craft brewery in Hyeres in France. Very delicate and drinkable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Escape From The Temple Of Haze East Coast Pale Ale from Garage Project, Wellington, New Zealand. More than one will make escape difficult as it’s a doesn’t taste as strong 7%. Plus the label says there’s no escape. What do your elf eyes see? Bugger all through this haze! Luscious light lager malt and juicy jumbo oats merge with Strata, Simcoe, Riwaka and Citra hops to conjure up a bewitchingly smooth elixir, bursting with seductively sweet citrus and tropical fruit. Give in to the haze, there is no escape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Back from Dublin last week and this is some of the more interesting sights (tastes) of the last week. First up was a booked trip to the Jameson distillery. Ok tour, good information and presentation... but the actual whiskey is made in Cork nowadays so if you're hoping to see any pot stills, modern equivalents or barrels of the stuff then you'll be disappointed. A free glass while admiring artwork isn't too bad though. Then at the mid-point, a total of 4 to taste. L-R we have Crested (kinda spicy), original/standard, Black Barrel (very caramel-ly, lovely) and Distillery Exclusive (like vanilla and caramel and smooth and lovely). Gift shop is expensive though, got some glasses and shot glasses but the gorgeous exclusive can remain there until I have a spare 110 Euros kicking about. After that I went to the Temple Bar for their own "exclusive" blend. Not really worth it tbh. Place is too busy, a tourist trap, and can barely walk by without someone taking pictures for The Gram. I mean, I did it too but still... The next day I stopped in The Brazen Head, a sign outside which proclaims it as the oldest pub in Ireland. Another Jameson because why not. Still bloody expensive but less busy, a beer garden because tables inside had been reserved. Did have a Saltire on the ceiling inside at least.

Archie McSquackle Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I posted last week about a bottle of 3 Monts beer being difficult to open then fairly average. That was their Saison beer. However, their Blonde beer is lovely although not to be taken lightly as my whisky chaser at 8.5%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 A wee Affligem blonde at the beach bar while waiting on the family getting ready. Holiday nearing the end so not much more of this unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 There's apparently 8 different breweries involved in this one. Too many cooks comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 For some reason, I've got loads of Lidls near me but I'll need to hunt down an Aldi to pick up a few of their specials. France have just won on penalties (any old excuse) so I'm trying this local white beer to celebrate and it's very nice indeed. Moving on in the morning for a few days in Nice before returning to Scotland. Anything much been happening there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
