Sweeties, Pies and Ginger

Was at the beer festival again last night and managed to work the whole night behind the bar! This was mainly due to telling someone that under no circumstances was I working on glasses and that I was going behind the bar or no where. A teeny bit selfish, but I much prefer to work behind the bar as you get to interact with people more.

So in the order that I drank them, these are the beers I tried:

Straw Dogs (4.5%), Wolf (Attleborough)

8/10 Really quite nice

St Audrey Ale (3.9%), Fenland (Little Downham)

8/10 Quite malty to the taste, very nice

Lemon Dream (4.4%), Salopian (Shrewsbury)

8/10 Tastes vaguely of lemon meringue pie

Wordsworth (3.9%), Facer's (Salford)

7/10 Nice

U-X-B (3.8%), White Star (Southhampton)

7/10 Quite pleasant

Spitfire (4.5%), Shepherd Neame (Faversham)

9/10 Beautiful

The beer of the night had to be Spitfire, it was awesome. I’ve never had it direct from the cask, but I’ll certainly be having more next time I see it; miles better than the bottled version.
