Yet again I find myself Dog Sitting and with loads of beers to consume. So I will be having ’a random tasting evening’ with myself: please pull up a virtual stool and join me if you can.

19:00 Start. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/island-yachtsmans-ale/130778/

I am in Chester this weekend, but with family. We are probably staying in tonight so maybe the odd beery update may get posted if I don’t get frowned at.

Margie is out with her old nursing friends and I have to drive her and an ex-colleague for pre-pre-drinks around half six, and maybe walk her home after the Balti, which is closer to home than the initial drinking den. The things us men have to do!

Just remembered it’s St Patrick’s Day: second beer of the session will now be Irish: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/west-mayo-3c-cliffords-connacht-champion/221840/

A gift gratefully received.

9AM where I’m @, so still just coffee for me. A solid 10 + hours until I’m boosting.

Just had a London Pride with meat pie, chips and gravy. At home. St Pat’s carnage starting in Leicester.

Yeah, not a big fan of filtered Weissbiers, not that I’ve had bucket loads of them. Very much a summer ’Bier Garten’ sort of brew really.

Right, game on for me: slight change of plan, wife has been picked up by someone else, so I am now free to drink: Isle of Wight brew first as I start my little ’random tasting’.

Chilli bubbling away, lovely Australian Red (Merlot and Shiraz blend) used to smooth it down: eating later.

Half way through this: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/beername/130778/ and I am really taken by it. Previous scores seemed to have been mid to low, my 3.8 being the highest out of 33 ratings. Yet again I am on a limb with my tastes and scores: but that’s what this site is all about, people’s tastes and likes/dislikes.
