I’m ok, we have secret tables we can use near the riding school. There has to be one benefit of pissing about with ponies.

You own horses? Kin’ell thought I had an expensive hobby

Double post...

Been looking to book a table for a session end of may / start of June 

They've got a certain amount of tables that need a reservation, but leaving some for walk up customers 

Given it's surrounded by fields you should just be able to go and sit in one with a pint

Just turn up you’ll be fine.

Take a fold up chair with you and you’re golden

Not sure if it's because I wasn't really in the mood last night but found the Space Hardware was just a bit standard although it did seem to drink a bit stronger than it was.

First for me tonight is Cloudwater Crystallography, 8% and definitely worth giving a go but might not be for the staunch NEIPA people.

Bernies Flex nails it

Got recommended Jennings FineLine Ale anyone had it?

Got 8 bottles will report back later

It's OK for afternoon drinking.
Not special, just a fairly standard hoppy/citrusy pale ale at 4.0% ABV, I think.

Usually fairly cheap.

Not had that cloudwater

I think the beer you drink before massively affects your view of the one your drinking...if that makes sense

Two other Arbor, the sabro and the azacca went down well last night

Saw a cloudy thatchers in AB Asda last night, 7.2 I think

Definitely true that, especially with the hoppy stuff because it has such a strong taste and aftertaste.

Had a Cloudwater DDH Pale #2 before which was ok but I've been shitting through the eye of a needle all day due to last night's excesses I presume so I'm having nowt else tonight.

My stash is in the garage

I bring 6 or 7 in at the start of the night and that's normally me done

Tonight I had a hills have eyes and had to go and get another one

Another banger from Rivi...its easily the match of a good pollys 

I’ve gone from Carlsberg Special Brew during game, to Vodka Cokes, to Disaronno Cokes, could be interesting...

I'm booked in rivvy tap for pizzas and beer next week, can't wait, Blood Machines on keg. 

Got a few from Wrights on Friday, Pomona Island  Chainhouse again  and tried a couple of Arbours, decent value IMO if you choose right, 568ml 👍

Also another Vault City delivery is in

Might call in and see Raz at Leyland tomorrow

Got a session lined up at rivvy first Saturday in June, cannae wait

Cloudwater on it's way to Tesco 

Be interesting to see how they taste when made for supermarket shelves
