Been given a four pack of ’Mort Subite’ Witte Lambic. Having read the rate reviews I am somewhat frightened to open one. Going to do it anyway. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mort-subite-witte-lambic/22315/

Wish me luck!

I wish you a decent fridge that can chill it to 2C or a decent beer to wash it down with!

Currently searching for ’old beers’ to offer them without offending.

any tesco express (or similar) nearby?


Thanks for the thought, I do have some ’home brew’ and a few ’already rated’ bottles for them to drink: door bell just went: game on with husbands!

feeling pretty boosted after a 6 beer haul tonight - Boon Kriek Mariage Parfait was worth it though

will finish with some gin and then call it a night

still my favourite lambic, even if scores don’t entirely bear that out

What do the gin gods bring?

I’m on a thornbridge roll with Otto. Lots of banana leaving me craving sticky toffee pudding

Finishing things off with an eldon and some blue cheese. Had this at the brewery when the BSF team visited a few months ago and thought it very well done for a bourbon BA beer which I’m not generally a fan of - how will it fare tonight on a fairly fresh palate?

I’m halfway through a bottle of Tanqueray No.10 - quite tasty but a bit harsh IMO. Got some East London Liquor gin when I finish this one, on the recommendation of this wee Scottish chap I know.

The Botanist is still my top UK gin, but the chase extra dry also decent - far too many yet to try though

Has Monkey 47 Black Forest Gin reached you yet? Very aromatic on the juniper, too much of an aroma bomb for many, but great for powerful mixes. Barmen all over the EU seem to be discovering it recently.

Meanwhile I made the mistake of closing off my session with a Corsendonk Pater...cheap brewfirm swill. Will have to neutralise with a tipple of Tomatin.
