    Back in the bar today. Penultimate weekend, as were allowed back open on the 3rd of May!

    Armchair fan, armchair beer. A 6% oatmeal stout from Estonian brewer Pühaste. D953D34F-940C-4D3A-95C7-F62C8DF809FE.jpeg

    It's good that you'll be back open soon :thumbup:

    Out of interest, what are all those cask-like barrels with the red, blue and yellow bands at the back of the bar? Your secret stash?

    Also staying local, or localish...about 40 minutes down the highway from me. Anyone else remember the mayhem that was roller derby?

    Been a walk this morning/early afternoon, discovered one of my usual pubs has decided to open, so had a draft pint of Millstone.

    Just the one for this afternoon and a lighter strength given the weather and plans for a meal this evening.

    They are a “feature” of the bar. All empty and not very secret. Metal kegs of Urquell, Wienstephaner, Thatchers plus a few oddities. B9AB1014-DE1B-48A8-B8D8-D3182F600607.jpeg 0484A8BA-C183-47E2-AEBA-DFECB3F92ACA.jpeg

    If it is good enough for this guy it is good enough for me. Forget the quasi french lager. The star is on the left!

    Sticking with the Naughty Neighbours tonight. I feel like being one: grabbing a guitar, turning the amp up to 11, and making mournful screeching noises until I feel better. After all, I've suffered for my art; now it's their turn!

    Cider With Rosie

    now we are into may, the weather should? be getting warmer so i am going for some scrumpy.
    Not much of a cider fan but a couple of years ago was recommended to try Kingstone Press Cider and it was fab.
    Having trouble getting that stuff at the moment so trying some Henney's Dry Cider today.

    Any other recommends for top scrumpy?

    Years ago in the West Country south of Bath, I encountered something called Screech which was like a very very rough Cider, the second fermented ends of cider barrels. It was very cheap and exceptionally potent. I got to the very next level (+1) of a hang over. It totally did for my Cider drinking career, don’t like the stuff at all.
