Oh for the three-martini lunch.

How is a martini like a woman's breast? One is not enough and three are too many.

Decent stout...I'm just not in the mood for them just yet....

I recently had one of these, but I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be having had their other offerings.

Ya I agree, it was just decent. Nothing I will buy again.

Thanks David Blue Bass had predominantly blue branding rather than red, it was a light ale. Bass owned the Sheffield William Stones brewery, so bottled Bass beers were available in many of their pubs, though most folks drank Stones (on draught).

Yes, I have also heard that the restrictive pub opening hours which continued until relatively recent times were introduced to curtail the boozing of munitions workers. It always used to make me roll my eyes when the vast quantities of ale men, women, and children drank in the past was excused by poorly-informed journalists and supposed historians on the basis that the beer was supposedly weaker then - as if!

A friend was telling me about one of the Burton pubs he visited (it might have been a while ago) where the Bass was still served from the barrel In Leeds, one of the few pubs which sells it regularly is The Palace.

I sent someone a vintage Bass bottle-opener not so long ago, but can't remember who it was now (I passed on a Worthington bottle-opener recently too)

A timely photo my friend, and a very nice Lambsfoot

Thanks Jack, never heard of Blue Bass but I remember Stones. It occasionally made it's way over to Cheshire.
I've heard that about munitions workers to. Get them to drink less so they wouldn't blow themselves up
The Burton pub your mate refers to will be Coopers Tavern. It used to be the brewery tap for Bass brewery. It still serves Bass on gravity or at least it did a couple of years ago.

A pint of Pennine Breweries 'Trespass Porter' 4.5%.

A fellow sure works up a thirst reading this thread!

A lot of the city centre pubs in Sheffield sold Stones, and it could be absolutely awful (and often watered), but there were a few pubs where it was absolute nectar. I used to drink in an old street-corner boozer called The Hanover (House) in the 70's, and it was reckoned to be the best pint of Stones in Sheffield, and arguably the best pint too

Hey, I've got a pair of those shoes!

A beer with my granite. [recycled cup]

Beers and exposure, what could go wrong?

It is that time of year. Oktoberfest!

Brought out the red Beer Scout for this Echigo Premium Red Ale. A bit sweet and malty for my taste, there are other Japanese beers out there that I would go to before having this one again.

The universe is conspiring to send me unwelcome memos. I have to drink more tea and less beer.

Just some sweet tea for me this afternoon.

Golden afternoon, 101 North Golden Naked Ale and GEC Golden Ale Beer Scout with some fresh hops thrown in to boot. Life is good.

That's a good beer! Do you grow your own hope for home brew?

A simple easy drinking beer. Their pilsner is great, the Vienna Lager is good too. I had my first Bohemia beer when we were in Mexico last summer. Tecate and Bohemia were everywhere in Baja.
