I must remember to remind myself why I avoid British Bottle Conditioned beers. First attempt a bit of a gusher, half a glass of froth and murk, I’m really not in the mood for yeasty tasting beer tonight so down the drain with it. Luckily the Hopshackle Pale Ale was more succesful… #Beer
Over-conditioned beer resulting in froth everywhere and turbid yeasty beers.Nice bottle of Hopshackle King Street Pale Ale.

One of those slightly dodgy 70’s Italian jazz releases, rather poor sound quality, but a typically good performance… maybe one for the churn bag as I’ve got plenty better live albums by the MJQ. The Modern Jazz Quartet – At Birdland (Joker, 1975 Italy) #Jazz #Vinyl

This Twisted Barrel Coventrian is all over the place right now, which at 3.4% is no bad thing as far as I’m concerned. This is the ‘Hazy’ iteration at Beerhouse, less clean tasting but a bit more citrussy hop. If your pub doesn’t sell Twiglets, ask them why! 😳
