40 TAP!? Seriously? I am immensely jealous. Ruination is still one of my favourite IPAs. Also worth looking out for are w00tstout and their smoked porter with vanilla.Quote:

I'm not sure if there are 40 different beers, but they are definitely taking over 40 taps. So some of their more popular ones may be on 5-10 taps.Quote:

Just looked here and apparently 45 beers on 50 taps! :cb
2 pints and 2 bottles of Bitter & Twisted tonight.
Been mentioned many times before on this thread but a truly brilliant beer.
Just opened a bottle of Midnight Sun. One of my favourite brews :greengrin
After that it's Deuchars or Directors............
Just went to Musselburgh Tesco to stock up on Libertine Black Ale but as there were only two bottles left I've opted to start the evening with a Pilsner Urquell.
I think it's about 2 years since I drank a full lager!
Tryst brockville pale for me. A shining light at the end of an otherwise grim day for me golf, football and betting-wise:greengrin
Apparently this stuff is available in Wetherspoons at the minute. All the way from New Zealand. We pay the equivalent of 5-6 quid for 420ml. I believe Wetherspoons are doing it for less than 2 quid a pint! Get down there and have 10 pints while you can! It's very good :agree:

Just bought some Leffe Bloom tonight from Asda and I must say I'm very disappointed.
Had this in Belgium on draught but these bottles taste nothing like I remember.
Maybe you were smoking something different in Belgium that altered your taste buds :wink:Quote:

Stayed in an ex monastery and the only beer was Leffe Blonde and Leffe Ruby.
Loved it. It was the only beer that has ever got me drunk from the feet up :greengrin
Couple of bottles from York Brewery that I picked up last week during a pit stop before Cheltenham.
Guzzler is a really decent 4% session beer. Light, dry and malty.
Ghost Ale is ok. 5.4%, very dark and tastes a bit like roasted coffee.
I see Wetherspoons are having an international beer festival which starts on Friday (I think), some interesting brews on offer.
The White Lady here I come :greengrinQuote:

I find myself in Glasgow today, The Allison Arms near Shawlands doesnae look much from outside, but, its nice enough inside and must have a range of about 100 different bottled craft beers, reasonably priced too!
Have started my Wetherspoon's beer festival experience with Sir Ryan from a brewery in Leicester, very good especially at £2.15 a pint!
Ended up at a new restaurant in Dundee with the Wife tonight and they had both Heveleer and Anchor Steam (!!!) on tap.
Anchor is easily my favourite beer but it's almost impossible to get (apart from San Fran, where it's everywhere!).
Had that when I was in San Fran 10 years ago with a sour dough chowder boy it was good. In fact one nite at a club called 'Bottom of the Hill' I drank loads of different local stuff and ended up walking back to hotel... In broad daylight. I was roughQuote:

Anchor Steam in bottles in creeping in. I've seen it in Mathers at the top of Broughton Street and in the Mash Tun.Quote:

Anyway, tonight's tipples are Stewarts 80 shilling in the Stable Bar and a bottle of Directors at home.
On the subject of the Stable Bar, the way the staff were talking it sounds like it's closing down.
Luvians in St Andrews used to do the bottles but it's an incredibly rare thing to find it on tap outside the USA (or more specifically, California).Quote:

Anchor are distributed by James Clay who have quite a big deal with them I think, so don't be surprised to see Steam, Porter and California Lager on tap in more and more places.Quote:
