First Friday night back out

Well had my first Friday night out in the UK for three weeks and now I have a bad head. I only had five pints but now I feel rotten, was it the beer or am I coming down with a cold, I think it is the latter as I also have a sore throat and runny nose. Better fill up with medicine as we are supposed to be gong out tonight as well.

Ramsbottom

Another of the Dent beers I picked up while on holiday in Hawes ages ago.

Dent Brewery, Ramsbottom from England
4.5% deep amber colour with a thin head, caramel aroma and taste, very nice.

Bottles of Sam's

Here are a couple of the beers I bought weeks ago in Northalerton and had just before our holiday. Two bottles from the Samuel Smith's Old Brewery, possibly the best independent brewery in the world, well my favourite anyway.

Samuel Smith's, Nut Brown Ale from England
5.0% brown colour with a thin head, fruity aroma, fruity taste a bit like a porter. The next one was a porter.



Samuel Smith's, Taddy Porter from England
5.0% black colour with a thin head, roast malt aroma, slightly sweet malt taste.



Both were were good beers.

Some Fruit Beers

I am a lot further behind with my reviews than I thought I was, it is going to take some time to catch up.

A few weeks ago I bought a couple of fruit beers, I didn't actually drink them, I gave them to Dot and she enjoyed them.

Innis & Gunn, Melville's Raspberry beer from Scotland



Innis & Gunn, Melville's Strawberry beer from Scotland

Back from Holiday

Just back from holiday in France and have many new beers to review, I have also brought quite a few new beers back with me. This added to the fact that I attended the second Fish Beer Fest the night before the holiday, means I have quite a bit of work to bring this blog up to date.

I will start uploading photos later today, so the first of the reviews should be appearing here very soon.
