Infrequent postings.
When I started this cheese and beer blog, I had this grand idea that I was going to be writing up every new beer I drank. It hasn't quite worked out that way, but hey.
In the last few months I have been sticking close to home - or work. I have drunk in Cosies, a place which is more for the lager crowd than real ale, they only have one ale on at a time, and it's a traditional dark bitter. Not my cup of tea.
I've also been to the canteen a fair bit - there's something nice about sitting out on the terrace, next to the traffic of the CHeltenham Road, and watching the people go by. They serve Bristol Beer Factory ales, and I particularly like the Acer and Sunrise.
Service at the Watershed seems to have improved, but I don't go there much anymore - I'm more likely to be found in the Bank Tavern, where they do not have a regular brewery supplier, let alone a regular ale. The beers change all the time, but my favourites in a while have been Jaipur (I forget the brewery) and Charger from St Georges.
Most often I'm to be fouind in the Victoria, and Dawkins have extended their range in interesting ways. Brass Knocker remains a superior ale in my view, but Juno - a wheat beer with elderflower flavours; Citra Bullett - with two hops, a lovely bitterness and citrus flavours; and the Mumbai PA have all stood out.
I promise, I will try and write more here soon, but price increases have contributed to me cutting down on my consumption(I am open to sponsorship??)
