still cutting down on your beer intake mate ?

or you back to being a complete p***head !!!

Bombadier in reasonable form in the Bay Horse (Bentley) in recent days.

Jaipur in the Old Angel on Sunday after the game.
Heaven!

Exmoor Beast, a dark,dangerous ale ( and gorgeous! ) at 6.6% at the Bluecoat, Rotherham.

I was in the White Swan in Doncaster last night at about 7:30.
They were serving Black Sheep and A Glentworth blond ale at 4.2% at £1.95 a pint.
Had two of the Glentworth ... gorgeous, tasted like Jaipur.
How spooky is that?
Since my last pint in town on Sunday was the real Jaipur.

Going round Hull's Old Town tommorow night, some great real ale pubs around there so fingers crossed will have plenty to report back on on Sunday.

To be honest mate I still go out once a week but that's it now. 3-4 years ago it was Friday, Saturday & Sunday many weeks (probably 25 pints in just over 48 hours which I'm not proud of), but obviously I only go out a third of that now (drinking 6-8 pints I'd say) so I'm happy with that.

Had a good trip down to the Br*dford beer festival, which bizarrely was held in Saltaire last night.

The highlight being a cracking pint of Hill Island Black Thai. I'm not usually a fan of ginger beers but this was a great brown ale with just the right amount of ginger, lemongrass and thai spice coming through.

Had an excellent night round Hull's Old Town last night, taking in the following:

Oscars: Brains S.A. 4.2%
Black Sheep 3.8%

Walters: Great Newsom Brewary Sleck Dust 3.8%

Lion & Key (formally Durty Nelly's): Rudgate Brewary Jorvick Blonde 3.8%

Ye Olde Black Boy: Copper Dragon Golden Pippin 3.9%

Lamp: Erdinger Weissbier

Not a bad one amongst them. Was looking forward to finally trying Brains, nice beer. Also found the blonde ale in Lion & Key a pleasant change, whilst the Erdinger was the first time I'd had it in maybe a year or two, excellent.

Imperial Blonde from Mexborough's Imperial Brewery, nice hoppy light-coloured ale at the Cask Corner on Saturday night.
