This weeks pints

I’m currently the highest bidder on a water damaged Xplicit Grafx. Glad I read the description after the bid. 🤦‍♀️

Lambic on cask which is rather nice.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4n1nn56edpo.amp everything is too warm and England is not designed for heat. The beer is cool though

Can’t forget scratchings and scampi fries! Never had a pickled egg, that is where I draw the line. I’ve never actually seen anyone eat one either. They just kind of exist either behind the bar or at the chip shop. I’ve had a few pickled onions with my pint though

I’ve contributed a few bits to this site. Definitely worth checking out to see which issue you are missing from the collection

If the pub has cheese and onion cobs on offer, you know you’re in a good place. English eating like it’s still WW2

Their cans are a bit hit or Miss but this one was pretty decent to be fair. He got an insect bite and it all went a bit infected which he loved to lick, so it was either bandage or the dreaded cone

I like this kind of thing. Spend a certain amount of time in a particular spot and see what happens. Needless to say, this has plenty of kegr stuff and loads of euro freight monikers

This is on the to buy list. The old overkill logos were the best. I’ve kept my old plastic bags and it’s the classic logo on. Wish they’d bring it back for some t shirts or something

Everyday is a school day. I love a pint of bass but there isn’t many places which sell it my way and the last one I had at a new pub was horrendous. One pub I know always has it on, supposedly a customer said if they served it, he’d do all the odd jobs around the pub for free. anyway, a new place has started serving banked pints. I’ve never heard of this before but it all stems back to the steelworkers up north who would head en masse to the boozer after work. To ensure swift service, pints were pulled beforehand and when they came in they just topped them up creating a “bank” of foam.

The better Budweiser? To be fair, I do like a can of American Budweiser if it’s available

Possibly could be either! It’s been a while since I’ve traded with folks on 12oz mind you

Went to a taproom of theirs in Munich and they refused to serve us because we sat outside which was annoying.

https://turboisland.info The missus and I popped to Bristol around the covid lockdown when things were starting to open again. Despite restrictions, the fire was still going and the local crackheads urged us to keep it going despite us just wanting to enjoy our kebabs. One of the crackheads had a really nice looking mojito and it still bugs me to this day where he could have got it from

A few bits picked up at unlocked this year.

This guy was unlocked but I didn’t realise who it was until I’d come home. Last place flooded so it’s good for it to be back

Living the dream. I keep seeing things and I’m like that’s definitely him but there’s a voice in the back of my mind saying it can’t be 😂

XG was one of the best. Felt like dirty handz in paper form

I like New England ipa and I like brown ales, but what about those two styles combined?
