Brewskies

wait, the brewery is called Six Degrees North, Lindsaymans is just the name of their Belgian sour range, which seems to be the only thing they do. Anyway it's great

ordered some sort of special "cask" ale yesterday. the bartender hit the cask with a mallet before pouring it. very lightly, like there was no way it did anything, so it seemed more like an obscure ritual. i asked her why she did it and she said "it's how it's done." the beer was very flat.

maybe i am remembering this wrong.

okay, the Wild Beer Co's Winter Blend 2015 is so good I just wrote a fairly impassioned email to the company about it. A legitimate UK gueuze, and it loses nothing by comparison to anything Belgian

this is a chill brew. i'm really into the less intense end of the ipa spectrum.

Yes! I had that a week or so ago and really liked it.

I've bought that again since then too. As a counterpoint to the fruity ipa love though, Ballast Point's watermelon ipa is a fucking gallon of garbage. Only benefit is that it's 10%, so after two I kinda don't care. Bought this because I really liked their Sculpin, and when I felt like splurging on a $15 six-pack, that's where I'd sometimes go. But this was two dollars more and the watermelon flavor reminds me of a Bacardi Breezer or something.

pineapple and grapefruit sculpin are good. I've only had one ballast point beer that wasn't sculpin, and I didn't like it.

At the London Craft Beer Festival. Zero to pissed in one hour. The Kernel is an amazing brewery

Aegir and Buxton great too. Mashup of Scissor Sisters Comfortably Numb and Stayin' Alive playing. I'm fucked
