Sorry to hear you've not been well but I hope you're on the mend now. As for "that gig" at Nostel Priory. The good old days, definitely.

I'd better promote the local brew from the turf despite the fact I haven't tasted it and not likely too as I don't drink ( funny coincidence that when I gave up alcohol my friends noticed the start of the catty, bitchy, miserable, hag period) i46.images obliterated by tinypic/2cdbixe.jpg[/IMG] As I said I'm not a beer drinker but this one seems to have a great story about it. It was featured on the show with Nick Hewer, your man from The Apprentice as he helped to promote it in London recently. i49.images obliterated by tinypic/qswrv9.jpg[/IMG] Inishmacsaint brewing company is a small craft brewery located on a farm just outside the village of Derrygonnelly in county Fermanagh. We take our name from the nearby island of Inishmacsaint on lower lough Erne. We like to think that St Ninnidh and his monks brewed fine ales at this sixth century monastic site many years ago. We aim to brew tasty beers with exclusively natural ingredients which reflect the history and character of our local area. We try to do things differently; Lagering kegs in local potholes, maturing cask ales in the 18th century cellars of local neo classical mansions, searching the local moors and meadows for ingredients. We are a small scale cottage industry and can therefore do things that the big brewers cannot. Speciality and one off brews are in the pipeline as well as secret beer festivals at inaccessible locations for die hard connoisseurs of malt and hops, growing grain and hops on our farm and accessing unique Fermanagh ingredients. Open your minds and prepare your palates. Fermanagh beer is here. i45.images obliterated by tinypic/2afbrk9.jpg[/IMG] Sláinte

Well I'll try some of that. It'll be your round - Bernie, TT, John Bunker, the rest of the Forum membership and myself will try it out and you can stick to the soft drinks.

One of the drinks of the Gods - a splendid brew. Caffreys is also a good drink if you like the dark stuff. Continental beers are a refreshing change, especially if chilled, but I've never tried Chinese ales. My favourite US beer is Budweiser - especially fine when just out of the fridge.

Quick...someone get the dog a real Budweiser ( Budovar from Czech Republic) and then help him dump that cow urine ( at any temperature) out of his fridge. For a good Chinese beer...try a Tsing Tao-----mad in a brewery built by Germans near Shanghai when they had enough business connections there to justify a brewery.

Ok Bernie, I'll take you up on that ;D As for cow urine, I hear a certain UK supermarket sells it as their own brew and it's diabolical. Mind you with the news about horse dna in beef burgers I'm not really surprised at what some companies try and pass of as the real thing.

Wow! This is an impressive thread. I see many excellent brews from the U.K. including those from Wychwood Brewery. After joining a different place before here, I was intrigued by a fellow from the U.K. named "Beastie". He recommended this for all Tull related countdowns and celebrations. I was able to find it in Asheville! Now that Teacher (Metta) and Journeyman (Kai) have tried it, the taste of Tull success has grown. ;D

Good to hear you've managed to taste some Hobgoblin Jim. As you can see looking at this thread there's lots of good beers out there to try, so here's a few more you might like to taste. Of course I've tried the lot.

Starting with Estrella Damm. I hope there is some to had in this small part of the world. And for my grandmother who was a Murdoch; I will pick out a nice Scottish Ale.

The Murdoch's have quite an interesting history and a good website - I'm sure you've checked up on it. Some suggestions are that they were originally Norse and the name could mean "seafarer" so may I suggest a bit of Broadsword and the Beast for listening too while sampling the beers.

Excellent suggestion! Beer along with Broadsword and the Beast. It has been a while since I gave that one a listen. The time is due and my ears are starting to tingle. I can just hear that drum beat now. It’s going to be a good weekend!

The End of History, made by BrewDog of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, has 55% alcohol content and is £500 a bottle.
The bottles have been made using seven dead stoats, four squirrels and a hare, said to be roadkill.
BrewDog claims the beer is the world's strongest and most expensive.
Think I'll give this one a miss.

Think I'll give this one a miss. brewdog is in newcastle also, its good stuff. they'll be starting boozing early tomorrow ie 8am in preparation for the newcastle v sunderland derby football match. if theres one day you want to keep out of newcastle city centre then this is it. the atmosphere is really aggressive and beer fuelled violence is always in the air. a colleague of mines brother in law a glaswegian who has witnessed many of the old firm celtic v rangers derbies was taken aback by the sheer hatred between the two sets of fans when he encountered the pre match standoff last season.

I tried posting a reply last night and when I pressed the "post reply" thingy my computer crashed. Anyway it was on the lines of a typical Sunderland v Newcastle derby being ruined by the minority but the game itself full of incident with a goal for Newcastle and two penalties for Sunderland disallowed, Tim Krull out for the rest of the season and Paolo Di Canio doing the Turkey Trot. Oh, and Newcastle 0 Sunderland 3

Those look yummy. I've heard about white stouts before but they seem just wrong to me. What's that last pic, a Ruby ...? --Ron-- No, not ron. Just ale. Here's review on Evensong beer. Does anyone here go to all that trouble to work out what flavours you can pick out in the beer you're drinking or do you just sup it like me and hopefully say "Aye, that was a canny pint!" Star beer Evensong, CAMRA’s Champion Bottled Beer of Britain in 1995, is based on a 1937 recipe from Whitakers of Halifax, closed by Whitbread in 1969. Maris Otter pale, crystal, amber and Munich malts, wheat malt, Goldings, Fuggles and Challenger hops combine to create a speciality with elements of both old ale and strong bitter. The result is a rich burgundy with a creamy yellowish head, lots of lace and a toasty fruit cookie aroma with a note of dry cooking apples. The sappy palate has rich malt, autumn fruits and hints of dark marmalade but remains light and refreshing. There’s a salty mineral tang to the finish, with more orchard fruit and faint roast, finally turning dry with twiggy hop notes. Well worth seeking out, and particularly recommended to drinkers of lighter beers that haven’t yet discovered the delights of the dark side.

Oi! I can be salty! ;D
It looked a lot darker in your first picture. I've already found the joys of the darker beers though (porters and stouts are my favorite) but this sounds like something the missus would definitely like.
Thanks again! --Ron "not an ale"--
