Wednesday night at the Beer Festival
I managed to make it to the beer festival a bit earlier last night and was again hoping for a god night on behind the bar, but had to do a stint by the front door for a bit first. After that was done it was off behind one of the bars for the rest of the night which was more like it. I spotted quite a few people I knew last night and had the misfortune to kick someone I thought I knew who turned out to be someone I didn't know, quite embarrassing really.
So in the order that I drank them, these are the beers I tried:
- Meridian (4.0%), Atlas (Kinlochleven)
- 6/10 Nice if a bit watery
- Raspberry Wheat (5.0%), Iceni (Ickburgh)
- 8/10 Very smooth, excellent. Much better than you'd expect
- Lia Fail (4.7%), Inveralmond (Perth)
- 6/10 Good solid Scottish ale
- KSA (4.9%), Eastward & Sanders (Elland)
- 6/10 Not bad for a Kölsch style ale
- Stout (5.0%), Elveden (Thetford)
- 7/10 Not bad, quite a roasted flavour
- Salem Porter (5.0%), Bateman (Wainfleet)
- 7/10 Nice
- Hedonist (3.8%), Wylam (Heddon-on-the-Wall)
- 7/10 Nice light session ale, fruity and refreshing
