[BobZ]

Finally back to starting this thread!
Back at a favorite haunt... The Ship Holborn...

Hereford Pale Ale (HPA)....

R1pps book the trip!

 

[BobZ]

Steak and Ale pie with a Pint of the Landlord at the Museum Tavern....

 

[BobZ]

Pints of Sam Smith Taddy Lager at the Cheshire Cheese with friends..


Everyone headed home on trains... Apparently they are working tomorrow ... So I'm off to the Olde Mitre.... And look what's on cask...

Still at the Mitre back room first with Siren a Cask Breakfast Stout.... Which is very good...

 

[BobZ]

Making a doomed attempt to get back to the hotel... Yes, hotel because my inconsiderate sister moved back to the US .... Never even asked for my opinion ... Anyway... Promised myself I wouldn't stop anywhere... But here we are ...

Sam Smith's ESB

And they're not kidding the cask are right above the bar... Where they've been for a while...


And R1pps ... Another great thing about British Pubs...

Ok.. in my defense... This Pub is an awesome local.... Great vibe, great history.... And it is literally 25 yards from my hotel ... I had no choice...
Also... Landlord..

If you ever wondered what a great local looks like on a Thursday in London.... This is a good example...

And yes I'm one of the few inside but that's just to soak up some history before heading to the curb ... Cheers!

I need to make it there already. Maybe next year, heading to Japan this year for my big trip.

I have so many “maybe next year” trips kicking around in my head

I've been planning trips for over 30 years. If I get there, great. If not, I'm ok with that too.

My list has gotten shorter. Started just booking trips now that my kid is older.

Quarterly trip to Total Wine had me stop at Birdsmouth Brewing as they have black lager on tap. So good. Shame the place is empty but it is a weird time.

Let's get this long weekend started!

Lawson's Nitro Stout

[SAISON FUCK]

Negroni Thursday!

 

[jmaul]

Small batch single hop Mosaic. My only complaint is no cans, draft only at source. This is wonderful.

Also starting a long weekend! Don't come across a lot of steam-style beers. It is tasty. Cheers!
