Sups

Tidy tight light ale. Very dry taste but a good sup.

A spot of al fresco lunch on a sunny but wildly windy day accompanied
by this bottled bevvy from those ale revolutionaries at BrewDog. The
beer was as fresh as the breeze, and the flavour was just as strong -
a real KERPOW! Leaning towards an IPA there's a real zest in the
taste, and a gentle spice underlines and then lingers shortly after
the sup. It's a bold, verging on brazen ale. Recommended.

Check me getting all into the royal wedding spirit, Easter spirit, and
summer sun spirit WHILE WATCHING DOCTOR WHO. All in one! Sh'yeah,
right.

The Mini Eggs are dessert to a pizza tea, the Pimm's was the wife's
(not a mixer for the ale), and the beer... Too tempting to give a
Castle Rock ale on the shop shelf a miss. It's a hearty effort (5%), a
fruity blonde, with a bitter aftertaste but not a classic.

To be honest, Kiss Me Kate was going to be a lot to match the
awesomeness of Doctor Who tonight. But it was a decent stab.

Anyway, that girl 'dying', eh!...

Sunny day out up here in deep West Yorkshire, but with a chill in the
breeze - a proper spring 'un! A warming but light lunch is needed: a
simple (proper) ham and cheese sarnie with a jar of Doom Bar (4.3%) is
just the ticket.

A tangy cheese and slightly salty meat in the soft bread are the bed
for a sup of this lovely balanced ale, with its medium spicy taste and
lingering roasted echoes. It's a great ale for any occasion, but today
it seems just so perfect. It's not just a great Cornish ale, but also
a great ale full stop.

The house beer at the Royal Hotel in Dockray up in the Lakes, brewed
by the nearby Tirril brewery. A very smooth ale, with a soft caramel
undertone, it's a very drinkable brew. By the way, black pudding mash
is the future!

Quiet jar on an Ullswater steamer. Nothing beats the feeling of
supping a lovely pint while in the middle of a lake! Maximum
relaxation.

Camping. Making a casserole for tea on a day that has become drearier
weather-wise as the day has gone on. The pitter-pitter-pitter of the
light rain on the tent roof, the chicken is gently sizzling in the
pan, and a glug from the bottle. A real IPA flavour from this ale, a
lovely, strong (5.6%), and sweet taste. Splendid stuff from BrewDog.
Shame the bottle just contains 330ml.

Oh, just an hour until we snaffle some of the camp site Wifi to watch
Dr Who through the laptop.

Frikkin' gorgeous pint! Light. Zesty. 4.1%. And Women In Love. Sup.
Sup. Sup. Marvellous.
