Potholer

This one was also enjoyed at the Lansdown. A potholer is a cave explorer! This one, from Cheddar Ales, did not taste cheesy at all. It was good, but not especially memorable.

Bath Barnstormer

Here is another delicious concoction from our friends at Bath Ales. (And another lame cel phone pic collaged with a grab from the website.) This one was a dark bitter. It was probably a touch too strong for my tastes, but it still had the smooth, juicy consistency of a genuine Real Ale. I had this one at the Lansdown Public House in Clifton. It is a very cozy pub with a nice fireplace. There is more sampling to do at this place! Well Done.

The Best, Literally

My cel phone pic was shitte (apparently, as my phone's pic storage fills up, it takes smaller and smaller pics without giving any kind of warning: here is my marvelous 12k shot), so I've included a grab from the Courage website. This from our friends who also gave us the previously blogged-about Director's Ale. I had this whilst attending my first Sunday roast in England, at a great little place called the Angel Pub. The SONY gang was there: DougIke and Cocoa, Satch, TBrandt, Orecklin, as well Shellaine and the twins and my in-laws. A great time was had by all; the beer and the roast were top-notch. I only had a half pint because I was driving the gang around, but I will definitely revisit this one when I can have a full pint. Very nice.
