resolvedDouble IPA on the Grainfather, nicely summed up:

Never realised that Brewshed was of this parish. They attend Woodlea Stables on the road between Inverkeithing and and Crosgates on the weekend (10-2 IIRC) if anyone wants to pick a few bottles up on a ride. Woodlea is great if you haven't been there, the best scones and the best coffee in Fife IMO (commoncoffee.Co.Uk). If sourdough is your thing it does a roaring trade in that too.

I have my beer, comes with large sturdy bottle opener

holiday today for you too?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Floating day so not actually taking the holiday but as all school staff on holiday I am catching up on a fair bit.
Is this week 9?
Council has some office space going cheap if anyone interested?
Posted 3 years ago # -
me too! supplied with beer that is.
Posted 3 years ago # -
I am also with beer. Good to have a chat with @Insto too.
Posted 3 years ago # -
I did chat with him too but not for long as I knew he had to continue taking the beer to the thirsty
Posted 3 years ago # -
Met Insto this morning when he eventually found the entrance to my house and delivered a bottle opener. We were in the middle of a chat to Grandad though so only spoke briefly.
@SRD, I'm glad you clarified that you aren't planning to rent out your home office.

I hope the McEwans Cavalier and the Tartan Special (with the boy in the beard and top hat - looks like guy who works for the council) are in the collection. I know I will click da link
Both brands feature but not quite their classic mats.
I was doing the flip the beer mat up and catch it in the argyle bar few years back - showing off to a wee kid. Kid unimpressed. His dad said, ah you would need to film that then post it to YouTube so he could watch it on his IPad before he would be impressed

Collecting beermats was a significant craze for kids in the early eighties and i certainly had nearly all of these classics - all except the John Smith one, and the Diamond White one was after my time
Eventually a top collector from Yorkshire drove up the road and bought my entire collection
I have few regrets.. but maybe should have haggled a bit more

@Bax San, I am not at all querying you and I recently became aware of a chap who has collected more than 3000 wheeltrims, so anything is believable, but is that beer mat tale at all true?
Posted 3 years ago # -
absolutely, yes
we were all local minor collectors for a few years, despite being too young to get into a pub, that was the most amazing thing. i hung in there and hoovered up everyone else's collection eventually, through various dubious trades. remember mad magazine? i got my best collection of rare beermats in trade for a big bunch of those
it became an albatross eventually, and the guy from yorkshire wasn't actually interested in most of it, but the rare stuff was really rare, there were 1950s whiskey beermats that no one else had, and i wasn't about to let him cherry pick
don't be vague.. ask for haig

you might be too young to remember gembo-san, but we didn't have the internet back then
you either had 'hobbies' or you got into drugs, or maybe both, but those were the local options, until travel became a thing

here we are at thursday and still not a single review of insto's ale
Posted 3 years ago # -
Sandilands our fave so far. Very nice drinking.

Sentinel reviewed as a standard lager - this is good for the reviewer Young Master Gembo. He did not like a Belgian beer from Beer 52 called Grosse BERTHA said it was sweet. Would have helped if he had put it in. Glass. But was way after i was in bed that it was consumed.

@gembo flavourly better than beer52. Discuss.
Posted 3 years ago # -
Beer 52 sending me advertising before they had delivered them next day beer (8 days in), Flavourly look much cheaper per can. Unless that is Just their intro offer?
I went pale ale with Beer 52 and number of interesting cans various Abv but their price point is ridiculous.
Keep reminding me and aftert June when. They will have recouped their losses on the 6 pound for ten cans deal I will cancel
@arobcomp writes for their magazine which is nice but their cans cost 3 times what they should
Posted 3 years ago # -
Flavourly’s not a sub. So £/beer depends what you want. We got a fab deal recently on a case of a really nice session ale 3% or so, ultra cheap because it was short date. They also do excellent wine in a box. The Nero d’avola is particularly drinkable.

have run out of beer.

My Pal Tam brews a red beer in his shed he might give you some?

"...their cans cost 3 times what they should"
"...the only winning move is not to play."
Microbrewers aside, what are breweries doing with all the barrels of intoxicants they're not selling to pubs and restaurants just now?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Beer Merchants are good for craft and international beers. Free delivery on orders over £50. If you ever find yourself in London with a bit of time to spare, then their tap room and beer garden in Hackney Wick is well worth a visit (WARNING - hipsters). Nearest Cycle Hire point is Victoria Park (Cadogan Gate) - about 7 minutes walk. You might want to get the train back from Hackney Wick though.

We had a bigish delivery from Stewart (4 cases) and a box of Black Isle Blonde from Flavourly, starting to consider next order....

Insto's beer sounds flavoursome.
I'd already been ordering Pilot Blonde in memory of Akva and Barney's Volcano IPA in memory of Argyle Bar.
The latter is being delivered in city by @farroutdelivers by cargo bike.
Neither are cheap though. Brewdog offerings much less but they are huge brewery now. I only have a 330ml can per sitting and two if I'm feeling in party mode.Posted 3 years ago # -
@chrisfl we got a case of Black Isle red kite with the session ale / ipa that i mentioned upthread. but i couldn't remember the name. had had a selection case from them and the red kite is definitely the best (used to get their scotch ale at the market before it went up abv. )

@Laidback the very first time I met you, you were in Party Mode in The Diggers. But then you got the phone call........
