h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Having almost, but not quite made it to the pub this evening (reanranged for tommorrow night, when I'll visit the RL best beer pub in Cambridge nowday who do some fantastic dark beers and porters ).
I opened a couple of bottles of random ales from my recent tesco grocery shop.
First up was Adnams East green.
I'm from Suffolk, Adnams is the* local brewry (though other microbrewerys including the most eastily brewery in teh UK are closer the house there)...
Never come accross this one before, it must be a new brew.
First thoughts is that it smelt really good, it just smelt well balanced and even (I've borrowed a friends nose for the weekend).
Mmm.
Well it lasted about ten minutes so it goes down quite nicely.
A really rounded 'beery' beer, Which if anythign supprized me a bit, I'd have thought they'd aim for somethign really* differnt with a new beer, either really hoppy or really dark flavoured... this is a good , no really good rounded beer that'd be equally well suited to drinking slightly chilled at a BBQ, or just out in the summer during the day, or equally knocking back by the dozen in an evenings shift at the local... Not seen it on at any pubs yet though.
44/5.

Hobgoblin.
Unusally for me, this came out of the fridge, whereas the Adnams was off the top of the kitchen cupboard and so at ambient room temp.
Actually this works quite well cold....
Damn, I forget just how much I like this beer. More.... err.... distinct than the adnams in many ways.
Mmm. I may have to have another.
4.5/5

Are we heading to think about another night one time soon or are we'all too busy still
ya know we've many fine real ale establishments in this little backwater of Cambridge, I ought try force some of yos over here for an RL tasting session in the locals near me some time

August is a good month.

Which establishment is the pub of which you speak, Legster?

Jules (doesn't like an awful lot of really, missing a lot more...)

It'd be the Cambridge Blue, Kingston, or live and Let live, with a potential later six bells, Swan, loco ( if I were feeloing nasty), or such like I'm not going to tell whihc of those I've been too this evening I@m also not goin to attempt doing a doobry on this bottle of speckled hemps... hen... yes, hen... or hemp... or something..k...

I've almost caught up with everything. I also still have all those porters, though they are starting to look very tempting...

It's summer holidays. You name the date and I'll come and taste.

Meantime, I've found another supply of Marston's Connoiseurs Collection (qv, somewhere), so have several cases in my kitchen.

In which case expect me at yours in about... twenty minutes I can't belive I went to the pub this evening and only just got home when the 'big*' deadline for w**k is tommorrow.... at leat I started on the work today time to make dinner I thinks
