Message harrisoni P beers 25366 º places 68 º 14:42 Fri 9/11/2015 Goose Island IPA and popcorn. Je suis un Yankee. Actually it’s more like soy un Gigante, but that’s a bad baseball reference.

I trust your brain and taste buds are still intact after being ’Speedwayed’. <*))))))><
Message wheresthepath beers 3446 º places 281 º 14:51 Fri 9/11/2015 Originally posted by Fin Originally posted by wheresthepath A proxy Hampshire beer from a non-RB friend who just texted me purely to opine what a terrible beer Itchen Valley Godfathers is. I’ve just put "Little Death" album by the superb Pete & the Pirates on the virtual stereo, hope no-one minds. They are a Shires band, I believe. .. Great choice of music from Reading I believe. Saw Teleman who were formed out of the Ashes of Pete and the Pirates twice last year another good band and very good debut album. No amplified music on this campsite so whistling Pete and the Pirate tracks ’Half Moon Street’ is in me noggin at the mo’ Fin Teleman are great but not quite up to Pete’s standards in my opinion. Also I believe the new band name has taken them to Brighton, so no longer a shires band. At the risk of monopolising the jukebox I’ll shove on another Shires (I think) band - Neds Atomic Dustbin. Were they Worcestershire? Somewhere that way I think?

I was worried the olive oil rich foods would make the beers a bit oily, but hoppy beers cut through the oil well. Gargoyle with an Orval and you should be OK. <*))))))><
Message jjsint P beers 7728 º places 1335 º 14:53 Fri 9/11/2015 Drink a beer from Koemanshire. A disappointing Rooie Dop. Shoulda stayed Anglish.
Message harrisoni P beers 25366 º places 68 º 14:54 Fri 9/11/2015 On the front label of Goose Island IPA it says English Style IPA. At which point do I stop laughing?? Meantime Greenwich IPA is about the closest thing to this. Anyway GIIPA is still a damn fine drink in my opinion. Other opinions are available
