My ’Strong Cheddar’ is in fact a bit creamy and not that ’strong’ at all. I hate that, should have gone to a proper outlet instead of a quick dash into Iceland I suppose. My next beer is RCH Sweet F. A. as yet unrated. <*))))))><

Leicestershire is big in population but short of decent beer. Tres Bien, Charnwood and Market Harborough are fine but quite traditional. Everards rule, though - which is a shame. Their ’spoons collabs are far better than their natural range. Brewdog are very welcome!
Tend to agree, I’ve struggled with Leicestershire beers, even though I’m just over the border in Lincolnshire. My local sometimes has Tres Bien (which I like) , and I find Charnwood and Q brewery in bottles every so often, but like you say traditional.

If I were to rate beer, I’d rate this 500ml Pilsner Urquell (green bottle) mixed with 100 ml Jever Fun (also green bottle) quite highly: 3.7%, dry, quenching, and cold, in a frosted Kloster Weißenohe jug. Just a touch of that lovely PU butter.
Not too sure you can rate ’self made mixers’ but if that floats your boat it’s OK by me: pull up a stool and tells us what your next beer cocktail is.

Keg Kellerbier from Kitzmann at the Italian resto a few hundred metres from home. Funny, they keep their lines cleaner here than at the brewery tap resto. I would trust Ian’s rating of it, as I think I was there when he had it.
Starch-free Italano eats: grilled calamari w veg (and a Teutonic salad).
Are we talking about this: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/kitzmann-kellerbier-1904/70875/
If so, I drank it at the 2009 Nürnberg AltStadtFest and really enjoyed it. Can’t believe it’s that long ago, time certainly flies.
<*))))))><
Aye, that. Only been to that fest once, right when we first moved here in 2004, ran into it by accident, actually.
Then it was the Dunkel, which they’ve improved a bit -- dried it up, used to be a bit too sweet. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cv3yCdKWcAASy-j.jpg
Now at home, back on the diluted Pilsner Urquell, our house lout.

Same here. 3 pints of Dogbolter on an empty stomach has left me craving processed meat and melted cheese .
On train on way home. Fridge full of beer so will be chugging well into the night.
Folkestone harbour arm opened up this summer to pop up stalls and bars. one of the bars is owned by a friend of a friend and as winter approaches needed to get rid of some stock.
So 72 cans of assorted Magic Rock, Wild Beer, Beavertown and BrewDog for £90. AWESOME. 24 cans of Magic Rock Cannonball for £30.
You are only going to get poorly drinking all those beers!
<*))))))><
What a night!

I am in Hinckley for work in a couple of weeks, I see they have a couple of micropubs. It will be just like being in East Kent. Any other suggestions if you know that Leicestershire town?
