Tried by me so you won`t get any wine writer gibberish . Sainburys taste the difference "London Porter" 5% alcohol and as dark as tar, very smooth with a bitter after taste, a much nicer pint than Guinness  and made for them  Shepard Neame, in Kent .

Tonight's ale is Ringwood Brewery " Boondoggle" blonde ale, , tasty , hoppy , in fact much like the old Gales IPA. This would be good to serve with bangers and mash.

Cheers Sceadugenden, I will have to put them  on my to try list. Especially the Porter.

This one gave me a head ache.


Tonight's sample is Bad King John Black English Ale from Ridgeway Brewing, Oxfordshire . At 6% this is not as dark as the porter , but just as nice .

Morlands Old Speckled Hen, for this months test, only £10 for a case of 10 . Quality ale for the price of two cups of poncey Costa Coffee with a pack of twee biscuits.
Also given a can of Kopparburg Pear cider, Swedish, not English, I know, but does taste of pears and is light and refreshing.

Now I have the computer back I can add this months trial beer. My father in law will buy lots of it and gets fed up ,so gives it to me. Bonus !.
Tetley English Ale, formerly of Leeds and now brewed in Northampton and one of our brewers owned by large multi nationals (Carlsberg), This does go against my idea of trying the product of independent breweries , but it was a gift , so I guess I will just have to put up with it. Anyway back to the test.
A beer that is not as bitter as I normally like , with a treacle like after taste . Cheap and cheerful and better than John Smiths.

Well it just had to be done, something weird sounding this month. Jeremiah Weed Sour Mash Brew. This is the same sort of sweetness as alcoholic Ginger beer , but with the subtle taste of Jeremiah Weed  Bourbon. It is meant to be sipped from a jam jar with a lot of ice, but enough of the gimmick, just stick it in the fridge  and use a glass. It is produced and bottled in London under licence. At 4% this will be a good drink for the up and coming BBQ`s.

I'm drinking Old Peckled right now - it's quite good actually. I usually prefer rubies, but this is quite a good tipple too. I'll give the cider a miss though, not my taste to be honest.
